That's ten 10W LEDs which is enough for most moderately sized rooms, and you can just run another cable if need be.

I gotta imagine 100W PoE requires some bigger cables than plain-jane Cat5E or even Cat6, though...?

The main design goal is to use normal cables. It's half an amp per wire max, which works out fine.

The higher power levels require that you take into account how each cable is going to safely dissipate a couple watts, which is easy if you're not running big bundles.
