This kit uses electric paint and a piece of paper to make a fully functional lamp
In three easy steps.
A project that promises to give anyone the power to turn a piece of paper into a fully functioning electric lamp using just paint, some LEDs and no tools, has reached its Kickstarter goal.
The Electric Paint Lamp Kit reached its funding goal in under 24 hours, with the apparent ease of the kit seemingly drawing people in.
Bare Conductive, the UK company behind it, created the first consumer-facing electrically conductive paint, and have now used that to give people of all abilities the chance the create their own lamp out of paper.
1. The first step requires painting electric buttons
The paint can be used to, for instance, carry a current to light an LED – or be used as a sensor, as it is in the Electric Paint Lamp Kit.
Using the paint you can make a touch, dimmer or proximity lamp, as demonstrated below.
Once your paint is dry just take the Light Up Board, which is powered by USB and comes with six LED lights, and twist it into the template to connect it.
With the project fully backed, it shouldn’t be too long before the creation is more widely available.
