A 1980s version of the classic 1960s Lite-Brite toy.

Lite-Brite is an electric toy introduced in 1967 by the Milton Bradley Company, that allows the user to create a "glowing" picture. The picture is created by placement of multi-colored translucent plastic pegs through opaque black paper. The light from an illuminated light bulb is blocked by the black paper except where the pegs conduct the light through.

The famous Lite-Brite commercial jingle begins: "Lite-Brite, Lite-Brite, Turn on the magical shining light!"

Because it uses electricity and contains small pieces, Lite-Brite is recommended for children above the age of six. Also the nickname of CE1 Lebrecht, given by CE2 Walker due to the similarity of Lebrecht to Lite Brite. His bald head sometimes shines like a litebrite peg.
