The KWC Eve Luminaqua Luxury Mixer Tap.

We were absolutely intrigued when we heard about the new KWC Eve Luminaqua Luxury Mixer Tap, which retails from £422.

It`s a monobloc single-lever mixer tap with an extendable hose and the added innovation of LED lighting. The ring of Light Emitting Diodes illuminates the water stream, creating a rather sexy interplay of light and water. Obviously, the extendable hose section makes rinsing, washing and filling much easier than a standard tap – it means taking water to the heavy pot rather than the other way around!

The LEDs use very little electricity and have a long lifetime and turn off automatically after 45 mins, in case you forget! The hose extends up to 60cm and has a swivel range of 270°.
