Rectangular PVC ducting has removable lids for easy installation. Going from candles to smart lights seems a big jump. having to have the house connected to the internet for the lights to work seems pretty out there. I don't know why you want isolation between the batteries and the lights. A fuse at the batteries to cover any cable damage or major shorts, then circuit breakers for the lighting circuit would be sufficient I haven't seen any new regulations but any search i have done, the wiring rules still list Extra Low voltage as 120 volts ripple free DC and 50 volts AC. As far a voltage drop goes it depend on the current draw of each light. It is best on low voltage to keep the number of lights per circuit to a minimum, but on 24 volts generally you should not have any problem putting 3 or 4 on the same breaker. Are you planning on using an inverter to run 240 volt stuff? like kitchen appliances etc. Pete
