Lite-Brite allows the artist to create a glowing picture by punching multi-colored translucent plastic pegs through opaque black paper. Using a standard light bulb, the light is blocked by the black paper except where the pegs conduct the light. When lit, the pegs have an appearance similar to that of LEDs.

How many holes are in a Lite Brite?

The original Lite-Brite design used a pair of matching black panels punctured with a series of evenly spaced holes arranged in a grid of 39 rows, which alternated between 44 and 45 holes per row, resulting in a hexagonal (“honeycomb”) layout containing 1735 holes.

Do they still make Lite Brite?

The Lite-Brite LED Flat Screen currently sells at MSRP $10, comes in several colors, is LED lit, and is portable, running on three AA batteries. The Lite-Brite 3D cube (called the Four-Share Cube) is a LED-lit four-sided cube that allowed children to play with friends or save three of their designs.
