Transform paper into light! This Electric Paint Lamp Kit gives you the choice of three uniquely cool paper lamps.
What’s that you say? Tools? Programming? We don’t need no stinkin’ programming! If you can paint onto paper and do a little bit of origami folding, you can make The Touch, Dimmer, and Proximity lamps! Paint, twist, fold, turn on. It’s that easy! All three lamps show off Electric Paint’s conductivity and will truly illuminate your home or office.
The Light Up Board needs no programming, works right out of the box, and offers six different LED modes. The simple connector system lets you create lamps on any sheet material
Bare Paint provides a dramatically different method of interacting with electronics, as it can be applied to almost any surface, including cardboard, paper, wood, wallpaper, walls, textiles, and some plastics. Nontoxic and water-soluble, Bare Paint can be used without gloves or mask. The paint dries quickly at room temperature and washes off with soap and water.
Kit includes:
1 x Electric Paint 10mL tube
1 x Light Up Board
1 x Instruction Test Sheet
3 x Pre-cut & scored templates
1 x microUSB cable (plug this into any USB port to power)
Not included: Power Supply, you can power from a USB hub or port or a wall adapter with a USB plug
Despite being named “Bare” Conductive, it’s not intended for use on your bare skin!

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
