System comparison
ATX requires fewer power supplies, lower costs, upgrade options
Good news - home run wiring for CL is essentially the same as ATX
CL lights waste 30% of the energy in ballast resistors
ATX LEDs have no ballast resistors
CL 9 watts - 30% = ATX 6 watts
DL-120 Very High Output @ 6 watts
CL copper loss is 4x higher than ATX ( physics )
CL voltage drop is 4x higher by percentage than ATX ( and noticeable )

Notes:
- CRI 90+ vs 80+ is the quality of the light,
- Efficacy of 90 lm/W vs 70-60 lm/W saves the # of power supplies needed
- Light Fixture to Power supply ratio per Class 2 power supply reduces the size of the LV panel
- PWM dimming vs constant current - CC is higher quality
- CL Photos look like Carro ceiling fans
- CL Photos look like ReVent RVL80
- ATX upgrades include Motion sensing lights and switches
- ATX upgrades include a Gimbal Spot,
