An network addressable lighting device that receives the input power from a power source (PSE), such as a network Power Over Ethernet (PoE) source, at a physical interface and data assembly PIDA and passes the signal directly to a second power assembly (PA) while the AC coupled high-speed data lines stay exclusively on the PIDA that contains the input and output physical interfaces, such as RJ interfaces. All power rails required to run the PIDA are converted on the PA and can then be sent back to the PIDA via low-cost conventional board stacker connectors. Movement of the high-current is done on the power assembly and not the data assembly where the sensitive communications primarily occur. The implementations thus provide an ideal separation of power and data structures to reduce EMI/EMC issues in a low cost and compact device.
A network addressable lighting device having a logical network address based on a network addressing scheme and being configured for connection to a computer network through a cable that transmits electric power for powering one or more lighting elements of the lighting device and control data for addressing and controlling the lighting device, the lighting device comprising;
