Abstract

A powering surface assembly includes an electric power transfer arrangement connected to a power source, and having at least one of a conductive fabric, a conductive foam, or an inductive transmitter coil. A light assembly includes an electric power receiving arrangement, which electrically couples with the electric power transfer arrangement when the light assembly is attached to the surface assembly, such that power is transferred from the power source to the light assembly. The electric power receiving arrangement includes at least one of electrical contacts which contact the conductive fabric or the conductive foam, or an inductive receiver coil that inductively couples with the inductive transmitter coil.
