Whether it's called a dimmer room or a distribution room, you're still 
going to need somewhere to hold the relay racks and data distribution. 
I don't see the move to LEDs making any more floor space in a new 
facility because there's no "dimmer room."

An interesting issue that just occurred to me.  Sure, you can run an 
entire position of LED fixtures off of 2-3 20A circuits, but is it 
really wise to gang that many fixtures together?  Say you need to cycle 
power during a rehearsal or show, do you want the entire system to shut 
down, or just the troublesome fixtures?  G-d forbid a rat chews the 
wrong wire in the wall -- how much of the position do you want to lose?

Consultants on the list?  How many circuits do you spec for a position 
in an all-LED facility?
