Abstract
An LED lighting system includes a power supply module, a data input line routed through the power supply module, an AC power input, and an LED fixture. The power supply module includes a power supply unit and an AC power cable. The AC power input is electrically connected to the power supply unit and the AC power cable. The LED fixture is electrically connected to an output of the power supply unit and the data input cable, and includes one or more LED assemblies disposed on a circuit board, a data signal output, and a power output. The AC power cable may be routed through the LED fixture.
Claims40
A method of transmitting data and power within an LED lighting system comprising:
- receiving an AC power input and a data input signal at a power supply module;
- splitting the AC power input into an AC power cable and an AC power signal;
