Abstract: A non-metallic contactless electrical wall outlet has a housing including a mounting interface and a panel. The mounting interface is configured to enable attachment of the housing to a wall. The panel forms an electrically contactless receptacle that is free of metallic material. A power supply is disposed within the housing and includes a supply input configured to electrically connect to an in-wall power source. A contactless electrical power transmitter is disposed within the housing and adjacent to the receptacle. The contactless electrical power transmitter is configured for electrical connection to the power supply and to contactlessly transmit electrical power to a plug received in the receptacle.

Abstract: A light bulb includes one or more LEDs and a housing containing the one or more LEDs. At least a portion of the housing is at least partially transparent to one or more wavelengths of light emitted by the one or more LEDs. A driver is disposed within the housing and electrically connected to the one or more LEDs for driving the one or more LEDs. A non-metallic base is formed at an end of the housing. A contactless electrical power receiver is disposed within the non-metallic base and electrically connected to the driver. The contactless electrical power receiver is configured to contactlessly receive electrical power from an external power source and provide the received electrical power to the driver. A light bulb socket configured for contactless power transfer to the light bulb is also provided herein.

Abstract: A supply-side non-metallic contactless electrical power connector includes a housing with a metal-free coupling interface for coupling to a non-metallic load connector. A power supply electrically connects to an external power supply. A contactless electrical power transmitter is disposed within the housing and adjacent to the coupling interface. A reed switch is disposed within the housing and enters an activated state when in proximity to a magnetic field generated by the load connector. The reed switch is in electrical communication with the power supply and the contactless electrical power transmitter such that when the reed switch is activated, the contactless electrical power transmitter is electrically connected to the power supply and is enabled to contactlessly transmit electrical power to the load connector, and when the reed switch is inactivated, the reed switch prevents electrical connection between the power supply and the contactless electrical power transmitter.
