There are people that wire up their entire homes with Anderson Powerpoles for DC everywhere. There's also PoE. The non-nerd's option is 12V cigarette lighter plugs, 5V USB-A plugs or USB-C. Hackaday had an article on this topic a while back: https://hackaday.com/2016/12/21/so-wheres-my-low-voltage-dc-... You can even get Anderson Powerpole wall sockets: https://powerwerx.com/powerpole-connector-outlet-box-coverpl... I lived on a boat for a while and I used almost exclusively DC - it worked out pretty well. I used hard wiring and cigarette lighter plugs and that worked fine. The problem with wiring a house is that DC losses start to be huge over decent distances (100+ feet starts to be really tough.) I feel like that's one reason why DC is only really standard on cars/boats/motorhomes. |
