About Light the Lamp
Light the Lamp is a drawing puzzle about completing a circuit of energy. A lamp waits unlit, and you draw shapes and paths that channel power from a source to the bulb. Connect the flow correctly and the lamp glows, finishing the level.
It rewards a steady eye for paths. Power has to travel an unbroken route, so a single gap or a line drawn in the wrong place leaves the lamp dark. Later levels add switches, obstacles and limited ink that turn a simple connection into a real little puzzle.
This browser version is calm, timer-free and saves your progress. It is a forgiving game where you can draw, test, and redraw until the light comes on, which makes that final glow all the more satisfying.
How to play Light the Lamp
Draw lines and shapes to connect the power source to the lamp in an unbroken path. When the energy reaches the bulb, the lamp lights and the level is complete. Your ink is limited and obstacles block the way, so the puzzle is finding an efficient route for the power to travel.

Tips & strategy
- Plan the whole route before you draw, so you do not waste limited ink on a dead end.
- Keep the path unbroken. Even a small gap stops the power reaching the lamp.
- Route around obstacles early rather than redrawing after the power stalls.
- Use the shortest path that works, since less ink leaves room for mistakes.
- Test, watch where the flow stops, and patch that exact spot.
