System, method, and apparatus for powering intelligent lighting networks

This system powers and controls LED lighting networks using Power-over-Ethernet (PoE). It features a specialized dimmer that precisely adjusts power for individual LED fixtures and a power station that combines power from multiple PoE connections. The claims narrow the invention to this specific setup, allowing many LED lights to operate efficiently from a single output port.

Why it matters: Since 2016, Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) standards have evolved to deliver significantly higher power, directly benefiting a system designed to aggregate and distribute power to extensive LED networks. The broader smart building and IoT ecosystem has also matured, making the integration of sensor networks and other devices more robust.
