Abstract
A light module includes a light-transmitting surface, a light source supported relative to the light-transmitting surface to direct to the light-transmitting surface when the light source is powered, an electrical circuit in electrical communication with the light source to direct current to the light source, and a wireless power receiving coil in electrical communication with the electrical circuit, the wireless power receiving coil for receiving wireless power from a wireless power transmitting coil supported remotely from the electrical circuit wherein when the wireless power receiving coil or loop is in close proximity to the wireless power transmitting coil or loop the electrical circuit will direct current to the light source.
Claims28
A light module comprising:
- a light-transmitting surface;
- a light source supported relative to said light-transmitting surface to direct to said light-transmitting surface when said light source is powered;
- an electrical circuit in electrical communication with said light source to direct current to said light source;
- and
- a wireless power receiving coil in electrical communication with said electrical circuit, said wireless power receiving coil for receiving wireless power from a wireless power transmitting coil supported remotely from said electrical circuit wherein when said wireless power receiving coil or loop is in close proximity to the wireless power transmitting coil or loop said electrical circuit will direct current to said light source.
A light module comprising:
- a housing, said housing having a light emitting surface;
- a light source supported and sealed in said housing for directing light through said light emitting when said light source is powered;
- an electrical circuit electrically coupled to said light source for directing current to said light source, said circuit sealed in said housing;
- and
- a wireless power receiving coil electrically coupled to said electrical circuit, said wireless power receiving coil supported and sealed in said housing for receiving wireless power from a wireless power transmitting coil supported exteriorly of said housing wherein when said wireless power receiving coil is in close proximity to the wireless power transmitting coil said electrical circuit will direct current to said light source.
A light assembly comprising:
- a light module comprising:
- a light-transmitting surface;
- a light source supported relative to said light-transmitting surface to direct to said light-transmitting surface when said light source is powered;
- an electrical circuit in electrical communication with said light source to direct current to said light source;
- a wireless power receiving coil in electrical communication with said electrical circuit, said wireless power receiving coil for receiving wireless power from a wireless power transmitting coil supported remotely from said electrical circuit wherein when said wireless power receiving coil or loop is in close proximity to the wireless power transmitting coil or loop said electrical circuit will direct current to said light source;
- and
- a transmitter apparatus having a driver circuit for electrically coupling to a power source, and said transmitter apparatus further having a wireless power transmitting coil electrically coupled to said driver circuit, and when said wireless power receiving coil is in close proximity to said wireless power transmitting coil and said driver circuit of said transmitter apparatus is coupled to a power source, said electrical circuit of said light module will direct current to said light source.
