The Ontario Electrical Safety Authority has recently ratified Power over Ethernet for domestic residential LED lighting and associated home control systems. I was just wondering if anybody on the list is using PoE for lighting and has any recommendations on which types of LED's are best for general use. I have a 45w grow light for an African violet but the light it casts gives a kind of institutional feeling. I'm not sure I'd want it everywhere. I live in apartment with older ceiling fixtures and currently screw-in compact fluorescent bulbs last a year or so before the transformer dies from voltage spikes. Ostensibly this is from being on the same sub-panel as switched loads, fans, ac and the fridge being the main culprits. Any suggestions and anecdotes are appreciated. TIA Russell
