Abstract
A resonant inductive coupling extension cord and light emitting diode system having a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDS) connected to a receiver coil designed to receive a pulsed DC current from a power supply by means of resonant inductive coupling. The power supply generates a pulsed DC current at a frequency of 0.8 KHz or greater, wherein the pulsed DC current is positive relative to ground. The power supply provides the pulsed DC current through a power coil and through the extension cords to the receiver coil. The (LEDs) are powered through resonant inductive coupling up to 160 volts. The light emitting diodes are self-limiting with respect to current. There is no potential for a spark or shock hazard when the extension cords are connected to the power supply, to the LED system or each other or whether the extension cords or LED are cut or broken.
