Introduction You have decided on touch panel switches. You have chosen Primezen. Now comes the practical question that every homeowner, interior designer, and electrician faces: how many modules do you need for each room? Get it wrong and you either end up with multiple panels on one wall (cluttered), or a single panel without enough switching points for all your loads (inconvenient). Get it right and every room has a clean, perfectly functional touch panel that controls everything it needs to — elegantly. This is Primezen’s complete room-by-room module selection guide for Indian homes. Understanding Modules: What Each Module Controls A “module” in a touch panel switch is one switching point — one on/off (or dimmer) control for one electrical circuit. Examples: 1 module = controls 1 light circuit OR 1 fan OR 1 socket A 4-module panel = 4 individual switching points on one glass panel An 8-module panel = 8 switching points — controls a full room’s electrical circuits from one panel Common module types available in Primezen’s Zen Touch Panel range: Standard on/off switch module Fan regulator module (speed control) Dimmer module (for dimmable lights) 2-way/3-way switch module (for staircase/corridor) Bell/call module USB charging module 5A socket module Room-by-Room Module Selection Guide Living Room / Drawing Room Typical electrical loads: Main ceiling light or chandelier Cove/ambient lighting (1–2 circuits) Ceiling fan (1–2 fans) AC point (if separate switch) Wall light or reading light Power socket for entertainment system Recommended module count: 6–8 modules A living room is where you want the most control and the most impressive aesthetics. An 8-module Primezen Zen panel covering all lights, fans, and mood lighting gives the room a single, elegant control point. Suggested configuration (8-module): Main light | Cove lights 1 | Cove lights 2 | Reading light | Fan 1 | Fan 2 | AC | Entertainment socket Master Bedroom Typical loads: Main ceiling light Bedside ambient/reading light (1 or 2 circuits) Ceiling fan AC (if switched at panel) Dressing area light USB charging or socket Recommended module count: 4–6 modules The master bedroom benefits from a 4 or 6-module panel at the door, with a 2-module panel at each bedside for light and fan control without getting up. Suggested configuration (6-module door panel): Main light | Reading light | Fan | Dressing light | AC | Socket Bedside panel (2-module per side): Bedside light | Fan Children’s Bedroom Typical loads: Main ceiling light Study table light Fan Power socket Recommended module count: 4 modules Children’s rooms are simpler — a 4-module panel handles the typical requirements cleanly. Suggested configuration: Main light | Study light | Fan | Socket/USB Guest Bedroom Typical loads: Main ceiling light Bedside light Fan AC Kitchen Typical loads: Main kitchen light Under-cabinet task light Exhaust fan Geyser/water heater Chimney (if separate switch) Recommended module count: 4–6 modules Important note for kitchens: Avoid touch panels directly above cooking areas where steam, grease, and heat are concentrated. Place the panel on a side wall away from the hob. Flat glass surface makes kitchen panels easy to wipe clean — one of touch panels’ best practical features. Bathroom / Washroom Typical loads: Main light Exhaust fan Geyser / water heater Recommended module count: 2–4 modules A 2-module panel typically suffices for a standard bathroom (light + exhaust fan), with a 4-module panel for bathrooms with a geyser or additional circuits. Important: Ensure touch panels in or near wet areas comply with appropriate IP ratings for humidity resistance. Pooja Room / Prayer Room Typical loads: Main light Decorative lights (1–2 circuits) Bell Recommended module count: 2–4 modules Dining Room Typical loads: Main dining light Pendant / mood light (dimmer preferred) Fan Recommended module count: 4 modules (include a dimmer for ambient dining atmosphere) Home Office / Study Room Typical loads: Main ceiling light Task/desk lamp circuit Fan Computer/printer socket Recommended module count: 4 modules Garage / Utility Room Typical loads: Main light Power socket Recommended module count: 2 modules (Modular switches are also acceptable in utility/garage areas — touch panels may not add aesthetic value here) Corridor / Staircase Typical loads: Staircase lights (2-way switching — on from both levels) Night light (if separate) Recommended module count: 2-module panel at each level with 2-way switch configuration Summary Guide: Module Count by Room Room Minimum Modules Recommended Maximum (Full Feature) Living Room 4 6 8 Master Bedroom (door panel) 4 6 8 Bedside panels (per side) 1 2 2 Children’s Bedroom 2 4 4 Guest Bedroom 2 4 4 Kitchen 3 4 6 Bathroom 2 2 4 Dining Room 2 4 4 Home Office 2 4 4 Pooja Room 2 2 4 Corridor/Staircase 2 per level 2 per level 2 per level Planning Tips for Touch Panel Module Selection Tip 1: Think in Rooms, Not Switches Don’t think about individual switches — think about all the electrical circuits in the room and how you want to group them on a single panel or across multiple panels. Tip 2: Plan for Future Circuits Leave one or two extra modules on your panel for future additions — an extra light, a USB charging point, or smart home control. Adding a circuit later is much easier when the panel already has an empty slot. Tip 3: Use Primezen’s Smart Integration If you plan to add smart home control, each module in a Primezen Zen Touch Panel can be paired with an RF receiver — allowing phone app control, scene setting, and automation without replacing the panel. Tip 4: High-Load Circuits For high-load circuits (geysers above 2 kW, ACs, ovens), ensure your touch panel module and wiring are rated for the load. Primezen’s technical team can advise on appropriate module selection for high-load circuits. Tip 5: Consult During Construction The best time to plan your touch panel module layout is during the electrical rough-in phase of construction — when conduit and wiring positions are being finalised. Changing module counts post-construction is expensive. Frequently Asked Questions Q1.
