Okay thank you. But what am I misunderstanding, with the Philips Hue the operating voltage is specified as 230 V. And I understood it that I can control up to 10 lamps without a bridge or anything else (ZigBee) only with the Bluetooth app. I would have now screwed it into a self-made GU10-230 Volt socket to test the bulb, plugged it into the outlet, and then expected the bulb to appear in my Philips Hue BT app.

You do not misunderstand anything. They are simply apples and oranges.

230V dimmers and 12-24V dimmers are completely different things. However, manufacturers build a bridge between the two worlds with products like [Hue]. Sometimes more successfully, sometimes less.

Good, I already thought I’d ruin the Hue if I plugged it into a 230V socket. I will see for myself how I like the bulb for the price. The advantage is definitely the significantly slimmer electrical installation effort, only one power cable for 230 volts (no dimmers to install, etc.).

The disadvantage is of course the significantly slimmer electrical installation effort, only one power cable for 230 volts. You have to buy new dimmers with every light bulb. Well, of course you have to see what you buy there. Not necessarily Hues, but there are other colorful lamps also for 12V.

Every LED light in the house consists of at least the following essential components
Light source: LED semiconductor chip
Driver: LED control
AC DC converter: generally called a transformer.

If you lay the 230V supply up to the installation location of the spot, you also install a transformer along with a driver for the spot there.

If the transformer/driver combination is 230V dimmable, you can dim your spots with a suitable dimmer (there are also differences here).

I have a question: How do I dim 12V/24V LEDs (each with their own transformer) within a 230V circuit (series connection of several spots)? Can I install a 230V dimmer as a flush-mounted actuator behind the light switch? What must be considered with the low voltage spots so that they can be dimmed by the 230V dimmer?
The dimming actuator recommended to me is the eltako wireless actuator universal dimmer switch FUD61NPN-230V.
Thank you.
