How it works
The Electric Paint Lamp Kit is easy to use and makes a perfect gift. The Touch, Dimmer, and Proximity lamps all show off different aspects of Electric Paint and the Light Up Board and are perfect for your home, office or workshop.
PAINT - Electric Paint Buttons
Use Electric Paint to create the controls for your lamp. Follow our templates or make your own shades!
PLUG - Connect the Light Up Board
After your Electric Paint buttons are dry, twist your Light Up Board into the template to connect it.
Plug the micro USB cable into the Light Up Board and power from a power pack, laptop or phone charger. Works worldwide!
Clip on the included lampshade and you've made a lamp perfect for your home, office or workshop!
PLAY - You've made a lamp!
You did it! You've just transformed a piece of paper into a touch-sensitive lamp. Where will you put yours?
Make Three Different Lamps
Turn the Touch Lamp on and off like Bibi! Use the Electric Paint scroll wheel to adjust the brightness on the Dimmer Lamp like Jon! Hover your hand over the Proximity lamp and be amazed like Matt!
Color, create and customize!
Ready to take it to the next level? Great! The lamps in the Electric Paint Lamp Kit are made of paper which means they are easy to customise. Cut and color the included lamp shades or make your own.
Want to move beyond our templates? No problem, we'll be providing design files to make it easy to print and cut your own.
Do you have a Silhouette Cameo or similar cutting machine? If so you can really go crazy, making lamps out of any material you can think of! Back the project for updates on how we used our Silhouette Cameo to make the lamps for our video.
What is Electric Paint?
Electric Paint is an electrically conductive paint! Non-toxic and water-based you can paint buttons, circuits or use as a conductive adhesive on almost anything including paper, plastic, and textiles.
Electric Paint is electrically conductive which means it can carry a current to light an LED or be used as a sensor as it is in the Electric Paint Lamp Kit.
Use the included 10ml Electric Paint tube to create touch-sensitive controls for your lamps in almost any size or shape.

What is the Light Up Board?
The Light Up Board is the heart of the Electric Paint Lamp Kit. It works straight out of the box, is powered by USB and requires no programming or special tools.
The Light Up Board is inspired by the numerous community projects which use our Electric Paint to control lighting projects
The board's six bright LEDs and three different modes provide the light for your lamps and the super easy connector system means that you can create lamps on any sheet material.
The Light Up Board's connector system enables you to create lamps on any sheet material. All that’s need are a few simple cuts and a twist!
The Light Up Board is for more than paper! Get creative and use three different lighting modes to take your project anywhere!
Why are we making Electric Paint Lamps?
The Electric Paint Lamp Kit is a direct response to our community, who have been using Electric Paint to make touch-sensitive buttons for interactive books, wallpaper, installations and more.

Risks and challenges
Crowdfunding isn't easy! We have experience designing, manufacturing, and distributing, and we've produced and shipped over 200,000 products since we started our company, but we can still make mistakes. So as with all of our new product launches, we're approaching this campaign carefully.
The largest single risk for this project is the production of the Light Up Board. It is a brand new PCB and we have not yet completed a full-scale production run. Our pre-manufacturing runs have caught a number of issues (as they are designed to do), but there is still the risk that we'll have a design problem, components supply issue, or supplier failure. We mitigate these risks by working with our manufacturers to check the design at each stage, having replacement components on our BOM and having backup suppliers in our supply chain.
Production of our Electric Paint tubes, lamp templates and product packaging presents less of a risk as we are in series production with these (or very similar) items. Nonetheless, we strive to mitigate the potential risks in the manufacture of these items through planning, communication, and redundancy.
