Abstract
The disclosure is directed at a method and apparatus for configuring and powering light fixture loads for a LED low voltage distribution system. The method and apparatus include converting power being supplied for powering the set of light fixture loads and then limiting this converted power to a set of multiple current outputs supplied to the light fixture loads. The multiple current outputs are then split or regrouped prior to being delivered to the light fixture loads.

A method of configuring and powering a set of light fixture loads in a light emitting diode (LED) low voltage distribution system comprising:
- converting power for powering the set of light fixture loads;
- limiting converted power to multiple current outputs supplied to the set of light fixture loads;
- splitting or regrouping the multiple current outputs prior to delivery of the multiple current outputs to the set of light fixture loads;
- receiving a protocol from an external transmitter;
- converting the protocol into a data stream;
- and
- translating the data stream to LED control information;
- wherein the LED control information is used for controlling the limited power.
