This electric light kit lets you create lamps out of a piece of paper

UK company Bare Conductive has launched a light kit on Kickstarter that lets you turn any
piece of paper into a working, customizable lamp — no soldering or programming required. Each kit lets you build three types of lamps: a touch version, one that dims, and a proximity lamp where brightness is controlled by hovering your hand over a pad.
The kit uses a special non-toxic paint that is electrically conductive, called (very aptly) Electric Paint. The paint works on materials including paper, plastic, and textiles and can be used to make touch-sensitive buttons for interactive books, installations, and other applications. Electric Paint isn’t the first conductive ink out there, with other products like rollerball pens also able to draw working circuits. Bare Conductive’s approach is just a lot less nerdy than Circuitscribe’s. https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2017/9/27/16349438/electric-light-kit-create-lamps-pape-kickstarter-bare-conductive
