TL;DR
A lighting zone is a group of landscape or architectural fixtures wired or programmed to switch and dim together, such as path lights along a front walk or uplights on a facade. Zoning lets a transformer or smart controller run different areas on separate schedules and keeps voltage drop manageable by splitting the load across home-run cables.
