The problem does not occur with BUS because the sockets are not connected to the light switches like they are with you.

Yes, I can disconnect it too, but I don’t want to just because of a floor lamp.

But if I want to dim a floor lamp, I have to connect the socket to the dimmer actuator, and it usually doesn’t have 16A or can’t handle LED?

No, you don’t have to disconnect anything. It is not connected together in the first place.

With the dimmer actuator, you simply use a suitable one that meets the requirements, for example, can also handle LEDs.

And in case of overload, meaning if something wrong is plugged in, the actuator simply switches off the power to the socket automatically.

That was a good tip, I took another look at the data of the dimmer at Busch Jäger and it is declared as short-circuit proof and overload safe (electronic fuse). That means I basically don’t have a problem, in case of doubt it switches off.

I will still leave the socket colored, it doesn’t hurt. I guess I am by now too much influenced by my profession, always looking for a safe solution for unlikely events. Thanks

Yes, that is probably best.

Well, I strongly doubt that was cheaper than going with a BUS system right away. I think you were just badly advised..
