You placed one in each room right? Each room has at least one light fixture. AP becomes invisible, saves space.



Space on the ceiling where I have essentially unlimited space?

I'm not saying there aren't advantages to this idea. Eg powering the APs with 120V from the light fixture would mean they can use fiber instead of PoE 2.5G ethernet. That would save me the cost of an extra switch and also reduce power consumption on both sides of the cable. But I'm sure a combined light+AP unit would be expensive enough to make that a moot point. If anything, I'd prefer to sacrifice even more aesthetics and use a bare PCB to save money if I could.
