PoE LED Lighting Installation in Seattle
Power over Ethernet LED systems — one Cat6 cable delivers power and full digital control to every fixture.
Powered by PoEWit Technology — One Cable. Power & Data.
LLUMINET is a certified PoEWit dealer and installer — one of the few in the Puget Sound region bringing next-generation Power over Ethernet LED lighting to homes and businesses. PoE lighting eliminates high-voltage wiring entirely: each fixture is powered and controlled through a single standard Cat6 Ethernet cable. No Romex. No conduit. No 120V circuits. The result is safer, more efficient, and infinitely more flexible than traditional lighting — and because it runs on low-voltage DC (48V), no electrical permit is needed for the fixture runs themselves. Individual fixture control, scenes, schedules, color tuning, and dimming — all from a mobile app or integrated into Control4, Crestron, or URC.
FAQ
Answers To The Frequently Asked Questions.
PoE lighting uses standard Ethernet cable to deliver both power and data to hardwired fixtures — it's not a consumer smart bulb. The intelligence lives in the network switch and controller, making it far more reliable and scalable than bulb-based systems.
PoEWit integrates with Control4, Crestron, and URC. For Lutron or other platforms, compatibility can be discussed during consultation.
PoE cabling runs are low-voltage data cabling — no licensed electrician is required for the fixture wiring in most jurisdictions. A licensed electrician is required for the PoE switch's power source, which LLUMINET can also handle.
PoE LED fixtures typically consume 7–18W per fixture, compared to 60–100W for incandescent equivalents — up to 90% reduction in lighting energy use.
The lighting layout, PoEWit fixtures, a Cat6 run from each fixture to the PoE switches, the controller, and the dedicated power source for the switches, which our licensed electricians install. We then program scenes, schedules, dimming and color tuning, and connect the system to Control4, Crestron or URC if you use one.
PoE lighting is easiest to plan in new construction or a major remodel, when cable can go into open walls and ceilings. We design the fixture layout with you, run Cat6 to every fixture location during rough-in, then come back to install fixtures, switches and controllers and program the system. Retrofits are possible, but depend on attic and ceiling access.
Fixture count and type, the number of PoE switches needed to power them, cable run lengths, whether walls and ceilings are open, and integration with other systems. Because the fixtures themselves don't need 120V circuits, part of the usual electrical cost shifts to cabling and network hardware. You get a written estimate from the lighting layout.
Every fixture is powered from the PoE switches, so putting those switches on a battery backup (UPS) can keep the lights running through a short outage. That's much harder to do with conventional 120V lighting circuits.
It runs on low-voltage DC over standard Ethernet cable, so the fixture runs don't carry line voltage. The switches that power the fixtures are on a normal circuit, installed by a licensed electrician.
