A lighting control panel is a centralized cabinet of relays or dimmers that switches branch lighting circuits — the traditional backbone of code-required shutoff, scheduling, and emergency override. Networked lighting controls move the same functions to software-defined zones and per-fixture intelligence, while UL 924-listed devices still provide fail-safe egress lighting.
Panels remain the UL 924/NFPA 101 compliance backbone: UL 924 load control relays force full brightness on power loss regardless of control state, supporting the 90-minute egress requirement.
This page captures the legacy-building audience the other terms miss, and converts through migration paths, not replacement rhetoric.
