1. A method of transmitting data and power within an LED lighting system, the method comprising:
- receiving an AC power input and a data input signal at a power supply module;
within the power supply module, splitting the AC power input into an AC power cable and an AC power signal;
connecting the AC power signal to a power supply unit disposed within the power supply module;
generating a low voltage power signal from the AC power signal with the power supply unit;
connecting the AC power cable, the low voltage power signal, and the data input signal to an LED fixture;
receiving the low voltage power signal and the data input signal at a circuit board disposed within the LED fixture, wherein the circuit board comprises an LED assembly disposed thereon;
powering and controlling the LED assembly with the low voltage power signal and the data signal; and
connecting the power supply module with the LED light assembly, wherein after being connected, there is no visible cabling between the power supply module and the LED light assembly.
