Abstract
The bathtub generally has a wall having a translucent inner layer defining a cavity for receiving water. The bathtub has at least one translucent outer reinforcement member which is secured to a portion of the translucent inner layer, thus forming at least one window with the corresponding portion of the translucent inner layer. The bathtub has a corresponding light source which faces the translucent outer reinforcement member for lighting through the window, into the cavity. The wall further has an outer reinforcement layer covering the translucent inner layer around the at least one window.
