1. A fluid delivery apparatus lighting module, comprising:
a first portion comprising a polymeric substrate having a chromium or chromium-based reflective coating coated on at least an outer surface of the polymeric substrate, the polymeric substrate and chromium or chromium-based reflective coating being at least partially permeable to light;
at least one light source disposed within the fluid delivery apparatus lighting module, wherein the at least one light source is configured to receive power from at least one power source and emit light through at least the polymeric substrate and chromium or chromium-based reflective coating of the first portion, and wherein the at least one light source, when emitting no light in an unlit condition, is concealed within the fluid delivery apparatus lighting module behind at least the polymeric substrate and chromium or chromium-based reflective coating of the first portion; and
at least one sensor selected from the group consisting of a wired fluid temperature sensor, a wireless fluid temperature sensor, a wired fluid flow sensor, a wireless fluid flow sensor, a mechanical fluid flow sensor, a mechanical sensor, a wired motion sensor, a wireless motion sensor, and combinations thereof,
wherein at least one of:
the at least one light source is configured to emit the light based on at least the fluid delivery apparatus lighting module receiving sensed information from the at least one sensor, and/or
a printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) is disposed within the fluid delivery apparatus lighting module and electrically-connected to the at least one light source, the PCBA being configured to receive the power from the at least one power source and distribute the received power to at least the at least one light source, with the at least one sensor being in communication with the PCBA for communicating sensed information to the PCBA, wherein the at least one light source is configured to emit the light based on at least the PCBA receiving the sensed information from the at least one sensor.
