I still think sliding contacts would be allot more efficient and less of a

You might be right, but that's not what bill asked for.

That doesn't mean it's not the best/simplest solution, though.

24W is a lot more poweer tha of the other LED ideas mentioned
and I would imagine that losses would increase rapidly if the
Rx/Tx spacing varied (and there has to be some play in the
sliding arrangement, no matter how good it is).

Carbon brushes would be ideal for one half of the sliding
contact arrangement.
