Powering LED lights with a cell phone wireless charger

I want to power LEDs using a standard cell phone charging pad. Can I buy a simple 5v induction receiver and connect it directly to my LEDs?

Thanks, Albert

@Albertrshilton Good question. Not many hacks regarding Qi chargers to know what to consider. From what we can see:
The Qi 1.2 standard supports charging speeds of up to 15 watts (9 volts/1.67 amps), but 5 W, 7.5 W, and 10 W chargers are more common right now. iPhones support up to 7.5 watts, and many Android phones can do up to 10 watts

The Qi system is still very inefficient, so using a third party device may result in added coil temperature, or worse. Hard to know without really understanding the technology. Perhaps someone else in the community can offer additional insight.

You’d likelt save a lot of trouble and effort simply purchasing a normal (non-Qi) pair:
