http://moriachik.deviantart.com/art/Schematic-for-Project-66482123 That's a picture of my basic idea. The two nonmetal and metal surfaces would touch when folded along the line. Would it work... Theoretically?

If I understand the picture correcly it looks like it will work. The metalic contacts on the non conductive plates will be mated up so that the metal contact at the corner of each will touch .

Given your fold line, this appears like it could work if you could keep the alignment right, the contacts together and have significant height on the connection points of the metal surfaces to make contact when closed together. One thing to keep in mind is that you need to pick non-conductive, not just nonmetal surfaces.

As others have said, it should work. One other thing to watch for is the flex in the wires - too much in one spot or too tight a bend will break the wires after too many uses.

trick question yes the light would have a completed circuit the metat contacts would be effecting switching polarity. change it to a LED and the awnser would be no
