Abstract
A lighting device () is provided comprising optically transmissive emitters and receivers. The receivers are configured to receive power via an optical signal transmitted from a light source (). Furthermore, the receiver is provided with functionality for converting the optical signal to electrical power and supply an emitter with the electrical power. The optical signal may further comprise an address such that a receiver-emitter pair of the device may be wirelessly individually addressed and controlled. The optical signals of the device are not guided but are free to propagate through optically transmissive receivers, optically transmissive emitters or other optically transmissive materials of the lighting device. This enables a lighting device which provides new light effects in a simple manner.
