Looking for recommendation for 8 port POE switch for lighting network...unmanaged?....managed?

How do you feel about it now having EtherCON?

I, for one, welcome our Lichtensteinian over-shells!

And on point: I've rarely if ever had a bad experience with Netgear metal-box switches; the production core switch in my main house is an [edit:]FS728TLP PoE. Only one time in 5 years have I even had to reboot it, or even log into it.

Might be time for a firmware update there Chief!

Maybe.
I dunno; I'm not into gratuitous firmware upgrades...
