POE LED

PoE LED Lighting

PoE (Power over Ethernet) is the use of one Ethernet cable providing data and power to a device. PoE Lighting uses a cat5/6 cable to provide low voltage power to fixtures, but more importantly, transmit and receive data. The reduction in power requirements for LEDs has enabled PoE lighting to become possible, with the average circuit power requirements being well within that of a compliant PoE port. With more and more technologically connected to POE devices (cameras, WIFI access points, HVAC, etc), PoE lighting makes complete sense as the next evolution of lighting. POE Lighting is now a viable alternative to traditional main voltage lighting systems.

 

 

Energy Management

LEDs are much more efficient than other types of lighting, which reduces your energy costs from the very start. But PoE LED lighting minimizing the inefficient power-conversion stages that occur in a traditional AC-powered environment for LED lights, improving energy efficiency. To better understand how space is being used, energy consumption per fixture can be monitored, along with lighting energy usage on specific floors or certain areas of a building. Integrated sensors can further control lighting expenses by dimming lamps during certain times of day, or turning them on and off according to occupancy levels.
