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?

Just to start: I’m not familiar with the MyGekko system; I only looked into it briefly because it annoyed me that no one here seemed to seriously try to answer a question. If you take a look at this diagram illustrating how MyGekko works:

It becomes clear that the MyGekko system is basically just the control center or user interface for a custom-built system. Apparently, different protocols and various manufacturers’ components can be mixed. Which lamps you actually need does not depend on the MyGekko base system itself, but on the type of controllers or switches you use at the respective light fixture. For example, whether you use a simple on/off switch for a light bulb, a dimmer for a resistive load, or an LED controller should actually be clarified in advance with the construction company. Just to remind you again from the beginning: I really don’t know much about this, so if I said something completely wrong, please feel free to correct me.

The key point is what is listed as "flexible Modules" in this image. Which module is used to control the lamps? MyGEKKO is only responsible for communication with the module and does not switch the lamps itself.
