Take a look at the papers by Tesla in:
http://tfcbooks-dot-com/mainpage/site_map.htm
There is a text with several ideas about lighting without wires.
The problem is that anyone entering the field will be subject to
shocks, RF burns, and other potential problems. Any electronic
equipment entering the area is at risk of destruction too.

Yes, but sparks produce more intense fields. I can trigger a coherer
with a spark, but without sparks I can't.

Surely increased irradiation from the primary circuit, as little energy
ends in the secondary. Intense local magnetic field. If this is really
true.

I haven't seen a demonstration that a secondary coil is required for
the lighting of fluorescent lamps at distance, although this makes
sense. I think that the best would be to have a ground plane and an
insulated plane above serving as terminal for a conventional coil,
correctly tuned.
The lamps would be lighted by the intense local electric field between
the planes, and around them.
