EmpowerED Lighting
is on a mission to MODERNIZE the lighting industry
WITH LOW-VOLTAGE, DC POWER.
verb
to give someone authority or power to do something. to make stronger, more confident, especially in controlling their domain and claiming their rights.
Since 2020, Empowered Lighting has been ushering the inevitable future of the lighting industry; low voltage, direct current power. Our value proposition centers on using low voltage 48V DC power for all interior lighting, in lieu of 120V (or higher) Alternating Current.

EOE’s unified low voltage system, EOE Connect™ makes installation a snap – literally. Unlike traditional systems, with EOE Connect™, installers do not have to make-up device connections in the field. The devices on EOE Connect™ plug-in using a standard ethernet cable. Devices that appear to be ‘hard-wired’ hide the plug-and-play connection from view. This element of EOE Connect™, combined with its low voltage nature – which prevents fires and electrocution – empowers EOE with labor options which are far less expensive than traditional electricians. Additionally, cable and devices are installed more quickly than traditional high-voltage systems. EOE further optimizes installation time by pre-programming, organizing, pre-packaging, and pre-labels lights and devices prior to jobsite shipment. For these reasons, ‘plug-and-play’ is an inherent value of EOE Connect™.
Savings Upfront
As described in Our Inherent Value, EOE Connect™ requires less labor and less material than traditional high voltage systems. Because of this inherent feature, and excellent management, EOE costs less right out of the gate, empowering clients with more system features, control, reliability, all for less. EOE Connect™ is truly a 'no-brainer’, turn-key solution.

FASTER INSTALL
quicker, safer installation
EOE Connect™ uses traditional ethernet cables as its means to distribute both low voltage electricity and data. Ethernet cable contains significantly less copper than traditional, high voltage electrical wiring. Ethernet cable also weighs less, is easier to manage, and is much safer to work with. For these reasons, the EOE Connect™ wire itself is less costly to procure and to install. Additionally, traditional high voltage systems require expensive circuit breaker panels throughout the building. These panels connect to larger main panels and gear, which then connects to the power company’s transformer. With EOE Connect™ many of the panels associated with lighting are eliminated, and others are reduced. This has a trickle effect which reduces the size of main panels, and ultimately the size of service (transformer) from the power company. This material savings, combined with the labor savings of using safer and easier-to-manage materials in a ‘plug-and-play’ manner results in less infrastructure cost. This is the key which allows EOE Connect™ to empower you with the system’s premium equipment without it being an overall premium when compared to traditional systems.
Increased Safety
High voltage electricity is needed to start a fire or electrocute someone. Because EOE Connect™ does not contain high voltage electricity, it impossible for its devices or lighting components to start a fire or cause electrocution. This is not only safer for clients and their users, but may help clients save money on insurance. Additionally, this increased safety makes installing and servicing our systems less expensive, as workers do not need certain equipment, or high voltage licensing. EOE Connect™ provides peace of mind.
Worry Free
We created The EOE Promise™, our signature customer support program, to take any uncertainty out of Low Voltage LED Lighting. With The EOE Promise™, clients receive free replacement of lighting equipment when necessary, as well as unlimited 24/7 technical support via chat and phone for all EOE systems (lighting, data, voice, security, A/V, and wireless). The EOE Promise™ is very low cost, and is typically made-up-for with the energy savings the system provides.

Limitless Control
All devices on EOE Connect™ are controlled by software. When it comes to lighting, this means every light in the building can be controlled individually. This is revolutionary, as traditional lighting systems (both high and low voltage) control lights in ‘zones’. When each light in the building can be programmed and controlled in any way by any switch, as well as respond to ambient conditions on its own, the limits of customization and automation disappear.
More Back-Up Power
Because EOE Connect™ uses dramatically less energy per light / device, far more lights and devices can be powered by back up batteries or generators. With EOE Connect™, up to 700 low voltage LED lights can be powered with a back-up system sized for a single traditional high voltage wall outlet. This makes traditionally sized generators or UPS batteries capable of handling several times the traditional amount of lights and devices, or for those systems to be reduced in size several-fold. With EOE Connect™, when the power goes out, it really doesn’t

Doing Good for the World
Worldwide, nearly one billion people (one in seven) do not have access to reliable electricity. Through its non-profit subsidiary, The EOE Foundation™, EOE is on a mission to empower these individuals and their communities. We use profits to build and deploy self-sufficient, prepackaged EOE systems. Each ‘Empowered Crate™’ contains solar panels, lights, switches, wireless router, and tablets – all ‘plug-and-play’. EOE and it’s partners aid in installing and maintaining these systems. Learn More…
