If you need to run 15A across the room anyway, might as well use it for everything. 120v can carry more power with less copper.

We have separate lighting circuit that we could switch, but that's about it. And at that point it would be easier just to allow for thimmer 22AWG 120v 0.8A lines or something.

But electric codes assume people might want incandescents, that's not possible with just PoE.

I'd love it if we had wall outlets for USB that look like network adapters to the PC though. Why do we still use RJ45 when consumer stuff doesn't get past 1gbps?
