Unlimited lighting arrangements with conducting wallpaper
Phillips has designed wallpaper embedded with conducting strips, potentially allowing future homeowners the ability to rearrange their room lighting at a moment’s notice.
Currently, adding a wall light to a room is a difficult process, since the wiring has to be embedded beneath the surface of the wall and the wall has to be re-plastered and painted. A change of mind about where the light should go is a costly affair.
The conducting wallpaper will change all that. Phillips said that appliances such as lights and displays with the right kind of conducting pins could be powered simply by sticking them into the wall, making sure that the pins made contact with the conducting strips.
