总部设在伦敦的公司Bare Conductive电子品牌通过DIY工具包将一张纸制作成为一盏灯。

该灯具名叫电子灯套件，其中包含有制作纸灯所需要的全部零件，例如电路板、6个LED灯，以及一个微型USB接口和导电涂料。

使用者可以按照说明书来组装灯具，说明书的描述非常清晰，甚至包括折纸的形状和该如何使用导电涂料来绘制电路。

London-based startup and electronics brand Bare Conductive has created a DIY kit that can be used to transform a sheet of paper into a functioning light.
Called Electric Paint Lamp Kit, the self-assembly kit contains all the components needed to build a paper lamp, including a circuit board, six LED lights, a micro USB plug and electrically conductive paint.
Users can follow a detailed list of instructions to assemble the light. This includes folding the paper into shape and drawing circuits using the Electric Paint.

为了应对买家对这种导电涂料的巨大需求，Bare Conductive公司想出了一个好办法，那便是开发一种含有导电粒子的水溶性产品。

该公司的设计师认为，这种产品可以用来涂抹纸张、塑料、纺织品上的电子电路以及传统电子产品上的电路。它甚至可以连接触摸传感器，从而能够自由地启闭电子产品，甚至能够自行调节灯光亮度。

Bare Conductive came up with the idea for the kit in response to the huge demand it received for this paint – a water-soluble, solvent-free product that contains conductive particles.
The company claims it can be used to create electronic circuits on paper, plastic, textiles and conventional electronics. It can facilitate touch-sensor functions such as on and off buttons, as well as light dimmers and proximity sensors.

在电子灯套件中，使用者还可以为自己的LED灯安装触摸开关。

“通过触摸，电子灯就能按照需求发出光亮，在我们公司过去的产品中，通过触摸而点亮灯光的方式十分受客户欢迎，因此我们产生了这样的想法，让客户通过绘画、折叠等方法，设计出属于自己的灯具。”Bare Conductive负责人告诉Dezeen记者。

For the Electric Paint Lamp Kit, it makes it possible to create a touch-sensitive switch for the LED lights.
"Light is a great output to trigger with touch. We've had demos in the past using Electric Paint to trigger light and they've always been hugely popular, so the idea of giving people the tools to paint, fold, and create their own lamp seemed like a logical next step," Bare Conductive told Dezeen.

公司负责人说，在组装灯具前，使用者并不需要具备相关的电子知识。

“安装制作过程非常简单，任何人都可以完成。人们通过导电涂料来完成产品设计，同时因为体会到这种神奇的过程而感到兴奋，并不需要相关的电子专业知识。”他补充说。

According to the company, users needs no prior knowledge of electronics to use the kit.
"The assembly process is really easy so anyone can succeed in creating their own lamp. And it's got the built in the excitement of using Electric Paint to bring some magic into the design, with absolutely no electronics experience," it added.

在工具包中有纸模板，但使用者可以定制这些模板，或者将它们替换为自己的设计。制作好的灯具“可以在家里使用，也可以在办公室使用。”该公司负责人说。

微型USB接口为6个LED灯提供电源。

The kit comes with paper templates, but users can customise these, or substitute them for their own designs. This means the lamp can be suitable "for use in the home, office or workshop," said Bare Conductive.
The micro USB plug provides all the power necessary for the six LEDS.

Bare Conductive在Kickstarter上发布了电子灯套装，主要用于回收资金。公司的预期是16511英镑，而到目前为止，该套装营业额已达到了预期目标的三倍，而还有两个星期，该套装便无法购买。

该公司是众多用纸制作电子产品的设计师和设计公司中的一员，他们主要的工作是探索运用纸张来制作电子产品的更多可能。

其他类似的公司包括Nendo，最近推出了一款纸手电筒，除此之外，法国设计师Marion Pinaffo和Raphaël Pluvinage，这二位设计师曾经设计过一套13个的电子纸玩具。

Bare Conductive launched the Electric Paint Lamp Kit on Kickstarter, in a bid to secure funding. So far it has tripled its target of ￡16,511, and still has two weeks before the campaign is over.
The company is among a number of designers and companies exploring the potential for making electronically conductive products using paper.
Others include Nendo, which recently launched a flashlight made from paper, and French designers Marion Pinaffo and Raphaël Pluvinage, who have designed a set of 13 paper electronic toys.
