Does anyone know what is required to do this sort of work for others legally?



Not specifically, but this is a rapidly growing segment of new construction and remodeling business of the "low voltage" guy - the guy who does the cameras, alarms, smart devices, wired ethernet (<-although this is shrinking, I, for one, like wires - wires are more trustworthy than Wifi), whole house sound, etc.

The problem with lighting is that it can get "high" voltage pretty quickly, and the electricians want (and probably need to) control over all internal/external lighting solutions, even if decorative.

Yeah, I'm in the process of getting licensed for all that, and I was going to go ahead and get this one too. I'm just unsure of where the cutoff for an electrician is. Like if I put the lighting controller and power supply in a nema box, do I need an electrician to put the power cord in it?

Not sure what you mean the voltage can get high, and I'm also not sure many electricians want to get into the config and programming of automated lights and other "smart" stuff.
