Light and electrical calculator for the smart home
With the lighting and electrical calculator for the smart home, we provide a simple but powerful tool precisely for the needs of electrical planning! The tool is the ultimate support for the wiring of LED spots and everything that goes with it!
You can easily calculate the number of LED spots, calculate the voltage drop of the cables and get a suggestion for the cable cross-section!
A 24V power supply for the lighting has many advantages over the “classic” 230V. If you pay attention to the important features of this low system voltage, nothing stands in the way of a successful and permanently functioning implementation in the smart home! We will go into these features in more detail below.
If you would like to learn more about LEDs, we recommend the LED tutorial and if you are unsure about all the terms & units (lumen, lux, CRI, …), a quick look and our lighting lexicon will help
The light and electricity calculator supports you with the following calculation tools
Spot calculator:
Calculate number of LED spots
How many spots do I need per room? Simply enter the room usage (e.g. kitchen), the room size and the spot used. The tool then calculates the number of spots!
Cable cross-section:
Which cable should I use?
Which cable cross-section is the right one or will my installation also work with the existing cable cross-section (+ tips)? Perfect for cabling LED spots!
Lighting circuits: Documentation & calculation:
The planning tool for lighting
How many separate lighting circuits do I have and how many PWM dimmers do I need?
Calculate voltage drop
and define cable
The voltage drop across the cable must be calculated in order to select the appropriate cable cross-section at an early stage!
Voltage drop calculator
especially for spot cabling
This allows the voltage to be perfectly adjusted from the first to the last LED spot
Power supply calculator
How many and, above all, which power supply units for LED lighting are needed for my smart home?
Calculation and documentation at the same time!
The lighting and electrical calculator for the smart home is not only used for calculations, but is also extremely popular for project documentation.
The lighting circuits tab, for example, not only calculates the number of LED controllers required, but is also the best example of simple and clear documentation. By selecting the LED products and specifying the number of units per individually labeled lighting circuit, the basis for a clear overview is laid. In addition, the electrical power (so that the voltage drop over a cable length can now be calculated) of this lighting circuit and the necessary dimmer outputs are calculated and documented at the same time.
Finally, save the data in the online tool for light in the smart home (Excel download), print it out and attach it to the documentation in the control cabinet.

Gone are the days when an LED spotlight simply emitted light. Thanks to technical sophistication, our products have several features on request and adjust the lighting mood just as you want it. Quality was the top priority here, because the days of having to deal with replacing light sources are also over. For this high quality, we also offer our LED spotlights at a fair price, we promise! See for yourself here:
LED strips are the “Swiss army knife” of lighting. Whether for indirect lighting, under-cabinet lighting in the kitchen (pay particular attention to a high colour rendering index: CRI), effect lighting or for retrofitting and optimizing existing lighting – thanks to our many years of industry expertise in component selection, we can proudly offer you TOP products at an outstanding price.
In addition to decorative luminaires, do you also want to dim LED spots and LED strips and generate brilliant light? It makes no difference whether monochrome, ColorControl (from warm to cool white) or full color (RGBW). You will find the necessary know-how and the right products here. You can find more information on this topic and also on the important short-circuit detection (no back-up fuse required) here:
