It looks like something straight out of a children’s activity book. You trace a tube of puff paint-like ink through a maze of lines, and then you rip apart a few perforated paper sections. A few patient minutes later, you don’t just have a work of art–you have a working lamp.
This is the latest kit from Bare Conductive, the manufacturer of what the company dubs Electric Paint. Originally released in 2015, you can apply it like any water-based paint to just about any material you like. But once you do, the black strokes conduct electricity. That means they can work just like wires, or even sensors, for any maker project you could dream of.
