System, method, and apparatus for powering intelligent lighting networks

This invention describes a system for powering and controlling LED lights. It uses a specialized circuit board, called a line card, that connects to a network router. This line card contains a power conditioning module to deliver the right power to the LED lights and a controller to manage them. The design allows this circuit board to fit directly into standard LED light fixtures.

Why it matters: Filed before widespread adoption of higher-power PoE standards. The increased power delivery capabilities of modern PoE++ (802.3bt) could make this system more robust and scalable for larger intelligent lighting networks.
