You can buy that legally now.  ;-)

I'm trying to make up for a mis-dieted youth. Apparently fresh herbs are anti-oxident rich. Although I could grow pot in the herb nook, I thought I'd try something simple first. 


Well, LEDs certainly can fall under the low voltage regulations that
have been in place since long before PoE.  Low voltage lighting has been
around for a long time.

BTW, if the existing fixtures are failing, they should be replaced.

It's not the fixtures. I can still get incandescents which last much longer than CF's. They are more voltage sag and spike friendly. 

Im more interested in IoT possibilities. Station monotoring for humidity and soil moisture and automatically programming light intensity for seasonal variation replication.
