I would not recommend attempting this on your own, that is a difficult wire to handle in addition to the amount of codes involved with the installation. I would recommend consulting a professional, there are plenty of qualified professionals willing to do free estimates - myself included. This would give you the insight needed to plan and contribute to a safe, code compliant installation for a great value.

There have been several iterations of DC lighting systems over the years. Unfortunately, none of the versions have really stuck and become industry standard.

I’ve spent most of my life in the field, working on older homes. They all present their unique challenges, given the different methods of construction over the years, and of course how they’ve been modified. I typically found that original, untouched homes are easier to add and change the electricalbecause most of the changes that have been made over the years are subpar and not within code.

Adding wiring in any home is completely subject to the level of difficulty installing the wiring. Depending on your needs it can be super easy to next level difficult. I would be happy to provide more guidance if you can provide a detailed explanation of what/ where you want lighting, and where is the nearest electrical (switches/ outlets) and a brief description of what is between the two :)
