1. A mounting assembly for an inductively powered device having an inductive power receiver and at least a magnetically receptive portion, the mounting assembly comprising:
a mounting housing comprising a face plate, a back plate, and a mounting plate between the face plate and the back plate;
a mounting support member attached to the back plate of the mounting housing, the mounting support member having an adjustable joint for adjusting the orientation of the mounting housing;
a plurality of magnets attached to the mounting plate for magnetically attracting at least the magnetically receptive portion of the inductively powered device and retaining the inductively powered device against the face plate with the mounting housing being in any orientation relative to the mounting support member; and
an inductive coil assembly attached to the mounting plate and electrically connectable to a power supply, the inductive coil assembly being operative to inductively couple with the inductive power receiver of the inductively powered device and transmit power thereto when the inductively powered device is retained against the face plate by the plurality of magnets in an axially shifted relationship to the inductive coil assembly.
