I want to put some LED lights on my sliding gate. I wondered if I could power them inductively, with a power 'transmitter' fixed to the gatepost and a power 'receiver' on the gate, positioned so when the gate's shut they are close together and the LEDs come on. The power requirement of the lights is 24W at 12VDC. The positional accuracy of the gate is good.Bill

inductive?

dbm or dbmV?

15dbV ~5.6mV => 0.4uW in 75R

15dbm ~31mW

I shouldn't bother!

Yes, that would work. Design and build a tracking device so it follows the sun!
