Illuminating display systems

A system for illuminating a display object, the system comprising:

• an emitting apparatus comprising an illumination source and a first secondary inductor coupled to the illumination source, the illumination source comprising at least one light emitting diode;
• and
• a power regulator magnetically couplable to the emitting apparatus, the power regulator having a circuit configuration selected from the group consisting of:
• a flyback configuration;
• a boost configuration;
• a buck configuration;
• a buck-boost configuration;
• a quadratic configuration;
• a cascaded configuration;
• a two-stage configuration;
• a forward configuration;
• a resonant configuration;
• and combinations thereof;
• the power regulator comprising:
• a primary inductor;
• a second, feedback secondary inductor;
• and
• a controller coupled to the primary inductor and to the second, feedback secondary inductor, the controller adapted to control a voltage or current provided to the primary inductor to generate a primary inductor voltage.
