1. A method for supplying power to a light emitter affixed to non-ferrous material, comprising:
- non-ferrous material;
a primary assembly affixed to one side of non-ferrous material, comprising;
a power supply with means to convert direct current to alternating current, and coupling means to convert said alternating current into a varying magnetic field; and
a secondary assembly affixed to the opposing side of said non-ferrous material, comprising;
means to convert a varying magnetic field into electric current, coupling means to apply said current to an optical emitter, and one or a plurality of optical emitters.

Abstract
A method of inductively powering light fixtures through glass or other non-ferrous material is disclosed that results in the light fixture itself not needing wires for operation, thereby simplifying and lowering the cost of the installation process, and allowing for the fixture to be completely sealed and protected. Such light fixtures are useful for automotive and household or business decorative or advertising use.
