Abstract:

A water dispensing unit adapted for communication with a water supply includes a main body including a first end, a second end opposite the first end, a first axis extending through the first and second ends, and a second axis extending perpendicular to the first axis. The water dispensing unit additionally includes an inlet configured to receive water from the water supply, an outlet configured to dispense water, wherein the outlet extends along an outlet axis, an inner wall including a reflective liner, and a light emitting diode positioned within the main body. The outlet axis is oriented at an angle relative to the second axis to direct water from the water supply toward the light emitting diode before exiting through the outlet.
