  • Patent number: 11296551
    Abstract: An induction luminaire system for use in high-moisture environments includes a transmitter coupling structure housing an induction transmitter having a first planar coil. The transmitter coupling structure is received with a wall fitting or a lighting niche. An induction receiver has a second planar coil to receive an induction signal from the first planar coil, wherein the induction receiver is in electrical communication with the light module, and wherein the induction receiver provides power from the received induction signal to a light module. A receiver coupling structure houses the induction receiver. The first planar coil of the induction transmitter is positioned substantially parallel and co-axial with the second planar coil of the induction receiver, and both the first and second planar coils are positioned at least partially within the interior of the underwater wall fitting or the interior of the underwater lighting niche.

  • Patent number: 10938245
    Abstract: An induction luminaire system for use in high-moisture environments includes a transmitter coupling structure housing an induction transmitter having a first planar coil. An exterior of the transmitter coupling structure is engageable with a wall fitting or a lighting niche. The transmitter coupling structure has a rear surface which extends into the wall fitting or the lighting niche not more than a predetermined distance. An induction receiver has a second planar coil to receive an induction signal from the first planar coil, wherein the induction receiver is in electrical communication with the light module, and wherein the induction receiver provides power from the received induction signal to a light module. A receiver coupling structure houses the induction receiver and having an interior recess, wherein a portion of the transmitter coupling structure housing the first planar coil is removably positionable within the interior recess.
