Hello,

we want to build a patio roof. Which LED spotlights would you recommend?

Should we use 12V/24V or connect directly to 230V and save the transformer?

What would you recommend?

Ok, good to know that Luxvenum is reliable (company in general).

Do you think I can install 14 LED spotlights evenly distributed in a 6x4.5m (20x15 feet) patio roof and have them all shine with the same brightness? Or will the ones closer to the transformer be brighter?

We installed these mini LEDs. Phew, but I would have to check if I still have any documentation to find out which manufacturer it was.

@schubert79 Yes, that’s exactly the kind of LED spots I’m looking for.

It would be great if you could check which manufacturer they are.
Did you get them yourself or did the supplier who installed the canopy provide them?

We need LED spots that can be controlled by a wall dimmer, which those from the suppliers cannot do.

I would look for one or two 24V power supplies with DALI control (assuming the desired lights are 24V, of course). The higher voltage is more stable in series connection. That should work reliably.

Why DALI? I don’t have DALI installed in my home.

What exactly is DALI?

Don’t I need a 24V transformer that can be dimmed by a wall dimmer, like a leading-edge or trailing-edge dimmer?

For example, Luxvenum also has 24V lights that can be dimmed either with Zigbee, DALI, or another transformer that works with the wall dimmer.

Take a look at Hamulight Cree LED, it should be the model, and we have also installed them.
