RE: A quite stunningly "newbie" question :)

A din rail module is basically the same as a plug in module, except instead
of it being at the socket, its at the other end of the cable. You still
need
1 din rail module for each device you want to control. For lighting, you
need to modify your wiring to use din rail modules for each light.
