Abstract

An illuminator may include at least one receiver configured to wirelessly tapping off power from an alternating field; and at least one light source which is connected to the receiver, wherein the illuminator has a flat adhesive surface which is magnetic or can be magnetized.

Claims

1. An illuminator comprising:

at least one receiver configured to wirelessly tapping off power from an alternating field; and

at least one light source which is connected to the receiver,

wherein the illuminator has a flat adhesive surface which is magnetic or can be magnetized.

2. The illuminator as claimed in claim 1, wherein the at least one light source is configured to tap off the electrical power via at least one coil.

3. The illuminator as claimed in claim 1,

wherein the receiver comprises at least one resonant circuit.

4. The illuminator as claimed in claim 1,

wherein the at least one light source has at least one light-emitting diode which is configured to emit white or colored light.

5. The illuminator as claimed in claim 1,

which is configured to be operated at at least one frequency in a frequency range between 100 KHz and 100 MHz.

6. The illuminator as claimed in claim 1,

wherein the receiver is sensitive to one direction of a field which is applied to it and is at least magnetic.

16. The illuminator as claimed in claim 5,

which is configured to be operated at at least one frequency in a frequency range between 100 KHz and 5 MHz.

7. An illuminator mount comprising an attachment surface for attachment of an illuminator, the illuminator comprising at least one receiver configured to wirelessly tapping off power from an alternating field;

and at least one light source which is connected to the receiver, wherein the illuminator has a flat adhesive surface which is magnetic or can be magnetized,

wherein the illuminator has at least one transmitter configured to emit an alternating field through the attachment surface, and has at least one magnetic film, whose magnetic surface represents the attachment surface.

8. The illuminator mount as claimed in claim 7, further comprising:

a plurality of transmitters which are distributed over a flat area.

9. The illuminator mount as claimed in claim 7,

whose attachment surface has at least one area which is fed by the at least one transmitter, and at least one area which is not fed.

10. The illuminator mount as claimed in claim 8,

wherein the frequency of the at least one transmitter is tunable.

11. The illuminator mount as claimed in claim 7,

wherein the at least one transmitter is configured to emit a directed alternating field.

12. The illuminator mount as claimed in claim 7,

wherein the at least one transmitter comprises has a resonant circuit.

13. The illuminator mount as claimed in claim 7,

wherein the transmitter is configured to be operated in a frequency range between 100 KHz and 100 MHz.

14. The illuminator mount as claimed in claim 7,

wherein the illuminator is supplied with power only up to a distance of 5 cm from the attachment surface.

17. The illuminator mount as claimed in claim 7,

wherein the magnetic film is flexible.

20. The illuminator mount as claimed in claim 8,

wherein the plurality of transmitters are arranged substantially parallel to the attachment surface.

15. A system, comprising:

at least one illuminator mount comprising an attachment surface for attachment of an illuminator, wherein the illuminator mount comprises

at least one transmitter configured to emit an alternating field through the attachment surface, and

at least one magnetic film, whose magnetic surface represents the attachment surface;

,

and at least one illuminator at least one receiver configured to wirelessly tapping off power from an alternating field; and

at least one light source which is connected to the receiver, wherein the illuminator has a flat adhesive surface which is magnetic or can be magnetized.

18. An illuminator mount comprising an attachment surface for attachment of an illuminator, wherein the illuminator mount comprises

at least one transmitter configured to emit an alternating field through the attachment surface, and

at least one magnetic film, whose magnetic surface represents the attachment surface.

19. The illuminator mount as claimed in claim 18,

wherein the magnetic film is flexible.
