The Light Concept by Owen Song is a 2-in-1 map that also works as a [flashlight](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arkpro-series).

The maps are made up of two papers with a battery in between that allows [LED lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bullet2) to be turned on when electrodes on the paper cover are exposed.

Basically, just roll the map up into a cone and it will light up. This is perfect for [long road trips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wuben-x2pro) and people who are prone to getting lost in the dark.
