I'm creating a Lighting Fixture Family, and while placing the connector I can choose Power Unbalanced or Power Balanced. I have no clue what the difference is and when to use it.
What is the difference and when should I use one over the other?

since lighting will always be a single phase load, I chose balanced because it will allow you to put the entire load as one lump sum. This will split the load evenly over all the phases which the circuit is on (ie. 1).

Ok thanks...Balanced is what I chose to go with anyways, but I just didn't know what the difference was. Wanted to make sure there wasn't some huge difference where if I picked the wrong one something wouldn't work right.
