Toilet night light

1. A light assembly for illuminating a toilet bowl, the light assembly comprising:

a toilet seat;

a hinge coupling the toilet seat to a toilet bowl for pivoting movement of the toilet seat about a pivot axis;

a receiving chamber supported by the hinge and defining a chamber axis extending parallel to the pivot axis between a proximal end and a distal end;

a holder received within the receiving chamber;

an access opening for the holder defined by the proximal end of the receiving chamber;

a plurality of batteries received within the holder;

a light source in electrical communication with the plurality of batteries;

a cover supported adjacent the light source; and

a coupler supported at the distal end of the receiving chamber and releasably securing the holder within the receiving chamber in a secured mode, and the coupler permitting removal of the holder from the receiving chamber in a released mode.

2. The light assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a circuit board in electrical communication with the batteries, wherein the light source comprises a light emitting diode coupled to the circuit board.

3. The light assembly of claim 2 , wherein the circuit board is coupled to the holder, and the circuit board supports the light emitting diode in alignment with the cover to direct light toward the toilet bowl when the holder is in the secured mode.

4. The light assembly of claim 1 , further comprising an o-ring supported at an end of the holder.

5. The light assembly of claim 1 , wherein the coupler comprises a cam lock including a tab supported at a distal end of the holder and configured to engage with a wall supported within the receiving chamber, the tab rotatable from a first position wherein the holder is in the released mode to a second position where the holder is in the secured mode.

6. The light assembly of claim 5 , further comprising a handle supported by the proximal end of the holder to facilitate user rotation of the holder.

7. The light assembly of claim 1 , wherein the light source is positioned to overhang the rim of the toilet bowl.

8. The light assembly of claim 1 , wherein the hinge includes a housing defining a front chamber positioned forward of the pivot axis, and a rear chamber positioned rearward of the front chamber.

9. The light assembly of claim 8 , wherein the receiving chamber is defined by the rear chamber.

10. A light assembly for illuminating a toilet bowl, the light assembly comprising:

a toilet seat;

a hinge coupling the toilet seat to a toilet bowl for pivoting movement of the toilet seat about a pivot axis;

a receiving chamber supported by the hinge;

a holder received within the receiving chamber;

a plurality of batteries received within the holder;

a light source in electrical communication with the plurality of batteries;

a cover supported adjacent the light source;

a coupler releasably securing the holder within the receiving chamber in a secured mode, and the coupler permitting removal of the holder from the receiving chamber in a released mode;

wherein the coupler comprises a cam lock including a tab supported at a distal end of the holder and configured to engage with a wall supported within the receiving chamber, the tab rotatable from a first position wherein the holder is in the released mode to a second position where the holder is in the secured mode; and

a handle supported by the proximal end of the holder to facilitate user rotation of the holder.

11. The light assembly of claim 10 , further comprising a circuit board in electrical communication with the batteries, wherein the light source comprises a light emitting diode coupled to the circuit board.

12. The light assembly of claim 11 , wherein the circuit board is coupled to the holder, and the circuit board supports the light emitting diode in alignment with the cover to direct light toward the toilet bowl when the holder is in the secured mode.

13. The light assembly of claim 10 , further comprising an o-ring supported at an end of the holder.

14. The light assembly of claim 10 , wherein the hinge includes a housing defining a front chamber positioned forward of the pivot axis, and a rear chamber positioned rearward of the front chamber.

15. The light assembly of claim 14 , wherein the receiving chamber is defined by the rear chamber.
