A mobile power, data and lighting system

A power and lighting distribution system comprising:

• a high power weatherproof POE station comprising at least one weatherproof enclosure containing:
• (a) a low voltage power over Ethernet power source, and
• (b) a patch panel of weatherproof RJ-45 jacks, wherein at least a subset of the weatherproof RJ-45 jacks provides at least 100 W of available low voltage DC power via POE connections;
• and
• a plurality of Ethernet LED light fixtures, each comprising a LED module and at least one RJ-45 jack for connecting the light fixture to the POE station via Cat cables, wherein the LED modules are powered directly by DC power extracted from the POE connection.

A power and lighting distribution system comprising:

• a high power weatherproof POE station comprising at least one weatherproof enclosure containing:
• (a) a low voltage power over Ethernet power source, and
• (b) a patch panel of weatherproof RJ-45 jacks, wherein at least a subset of the weatherproof RJ-45 jacks provides at least 100 W of available low voltage DC power;
• and
• at least one charging station for outputting, at least, high voltage AC power wherein the high voltage AC power is derived from a plurality of high powered low voltage POE connections over Cat cables that connect the RJ-45 jacks of the POE station with RJ-45 input jacks of the charging station.

A method of providing temporary lighting and/or high voltage power to a construction site, the method comprising:

• mounting or installing a high power weatherproof POE station at the construction site, wherein the POE station is comprised of at least one weatherproof enclosure containing:
• (a) a low voltage power over Ethernet power source, and
• (b) a patch panel of weatherproof RJ-45 jacks, wherein at least a subset of the weatherproof RJ-45 jacks provides at least 100 W of available low voltage DC power via POE connections;
• connecting via a plurality of cat networking cables to either or both:
• (a) a plurality of LED light fixtures comprising a LED modules and at least one RJ-45 jack for deriving a DC power source for the LED modules;
• or
• (b) at least one charging station for outputting, at least, high voltage AC power wherein the high voltage AC power is derived from a plurality of high powered low voltage POE connections;
• and
• connecting the station to a source of high voltage AC power and powering up the POE connections to energise the connected lights and/or charging station.
