Abstract
The invention relates to a power distribution system (), especially a Power-over-Ethernet system, comprising at least one dominant sensor, which may be located within a powered device () like a lighting device, and at least one non-dominant sensor, which may be located within another powered device (), wherein the power distribution system is adapted such that in a system low power mode the at least one dominant sensor () consumes power provided by a power providing unit () and the at least one non-dominant sensor () does not consume the provided power and that the power distribution system () switches from the system low powermode to a system high power mode, if the at least one dominant sensor () has sensed an event. Since in the system low power mode the at least one non-dominant sensor does not consume power, the power consumption can be reduced.
