Q: What are the advantages of using a Square D Lighting Control System?
The Square D Clipsal Lighting Control System is a distributed control system.

Q: How is a distributed control system different than a centralized control system?
A: Centralized lighting control systems require home-runs from the lighting fixtures back to a centralized location where component dimmers and relays are located, creating additional wiring costs.  Alternatively, with a distributed system, dimmers and relays can be located throughout the building making for shorter runs and lowering the wiring system cost.

Additionally, with a centralized system, if one component fails, the entire system goes down.  In a distributed system, each device works independently of the others, providing a more reliable lighting control network throughout.
