16. A method of installing a low-voltage LED lighting system comprising:
-
providing at least one LED lighting fixture, each fixture having; at least one LED; a standard network input connector having plural contact pairs; at least one standard output connector having the same number of contact pairs as the input connector; and an interconnection network configured to flexibly change the interconnections between the input connector and the at least one output connector; providing at least one power driver; installing the driver(s) at positions remote from the fixture(s); and interconnecting the fixture(s) and the driver(s) using communication network cabling and standard network connectors, thereby facilitating efficient lighting system installation with low man-hour requirements and low installer skill levels. - View Dependent Claims (17)
