Default Is it better to power down the dcontrol at night or leave it on all the time?

Is it better to power down the d-control at night or leave it on all the time? I have no problems with the unit but do not want a problem in the future if I can help it.

Thanks,

The ICON I work on has been on for 4+ years straight.

I've always found that studios that remain constantly on, end up needing more maintenance than those that are powered down.

Every time I've heard about someone blowing the LED power supply on an ICON for example, it was during power up.
