I could understand if you had one on each quarter so you didn't have to connect the electrical system between them, but since they are all in one place it seems impractical.
All 4 switches are connected to the same power source. I would need 4 battery packs instead of 1 if I kept each quadrant independent. The reason for 4 switches is so any single, or combination of quadrants can be lit at one time. No need to light the entire board when the players are all in the same area.
The switches are all located in the same area so the DM can easily access them all when needed
I'll be crimping jst connectors so the quadrants can be easily unplugged from eachother for transport
