1. A wireless power transfer system for coupling to an external surface, the wireless power transfer system comprising:
a first device comprising a power supply and configured to wirelessly transmit electric power from the power supply, the first device further comprising a first alignment module configured to activate a first indicator based on determining that a measured level of the transmitted electric power is greater than a threshold level; and
a second device comprising one or more electrical components, the second device configured to wirelessly receive the electric power transmitted by the first device and provide the received electric power to the one or more electrical components for consumption, the second device further comprising a second alignment module configured to activate a second indicator based on determining that a measured level of the received electric power is greater than the threshold level,
wherein the second device is further configured for placement on a user-facing side of the external surface such that the second indicator is visible on the user-facing side, and the first device is further configured for attachment to an opposite side of the external surface such that the first indicator is visible on the opposite side.
