Hello,
As I understand it, the recessed LED light supplied by the BUS system will only receive 24 volts. Is that correct?
Does it then make sense to buy only 24-volt LED spotlights, or is it better to use a transformer?

frank_gayer12 Jun 2017 08:14OK, but that means if the builder installs, for example, three ceiling outlets in the living area, then a transformer must be used. Correct?
If I then use these three ceiling outlets to connect additional spotlights, do I need more transformers? I have read somewhere that you can connect 5-6 spotlights to one cable, but I don’t know what preparations were made for that.

Sascha_aus_H12 Jun 2017 08:56May I ask a question? You obviously lack basic knowledge in electrical engineering / electronics. That's not a problem, but why do you want to handle the lighting yourself then? Your electrician should know what components to install and which spotlights to use if you order them from him.

frank_gayer12 Jun 2017 09:23I did not hire an electrician but get everything from the builder and pay extra for each ceiling outlet, and it’s not cheap. That’s why I am doing it myself. And connecting a spotlight, whether with or without a transformer, is not expert work. It’s not about whether I can do it or not, but that I can start taking care of it now.
You can’t do it because you lack the basics. It takes much more than just buying a handful of spotlights at a hardware store and randomly clipping them somewhere.
Since you also ordered a “smart home,” these lights should somehow be connected and controllable. Or is it just meant to be decoration?
Actually, I see three options:
1. You provide all the necessary information (number of spotlights ordered, number of spotlights desired, wiring ordered, wiring desired, type of spotlights ordered, control system ordered, and everything—really everything—related to the spotlights).
2. You hire a professional electrician to implement your requirements.
3. You order everything as needed through your prefabricated house provider.
Only this way and no other... anything else will just lead to poor workmanship, problems, additional costs, and possibly a non-functioning system or, in the worst case, a fire.
