Note that electrical code isn't an issue, because this is low voltage wiring.

In my house I have a single 12-volt power supply in the basement. I distribute the 12-volts throughout the house. It powers LED illuminators for CCTV, PWM for LED strips and where I need 5-volts for a few multi-sensors I use DC-DC converters. Everything from the basement to the attic, indoors and out is powered by the one supply, except Arduinos which are powered by POE from the network switch. Even the attic lighting is LED, so I don't need any house current outlets or lights up there.
The 12-volt supply is current limited at 10 amps, but there are a few 5-amp PTCs on the runs for good measure. With everything connected and the LED strips at full brightness it runs as much as 7 amps. The attic lighting is about 3.5 amps. Nominally the power supply runs at about 2-3 amps.HS4 Pro, 4.2.19.16 Windows 10 pro, Supermicro LP Xeon
