Abstract
A modular lighting system includes a number of LEDs, a communication module, a driver module, an auxiliary module, and a communication bus. The communication module includes a first port. The driver module includes a second port, rectifying circuitry, and conversion circuitry. The driver module drives the LEDs at the second port in response to information received at the second port. The rectifying circuitry and conversion circuitry convert an AC input signal into a DC power signal that is provided at the second port. The auxiliary module has a third port. The communication module, the driver module, and the auxiliary module are associated with the communication bus such that the driver module supplies DC power over the communication bus and the communication bus provides bi-directional communication.
