Common Concerns Answered
I need a switch with a higher IP rating for extreme submersion.
While this switch features a robust IP66 rating, which is excellent for washdowns and general marine use, some competitors offer IP67. For applications requiring submersion, verify the specific environmental demands against the product's rating.
Are other LED color options available for this switch?
Currently, this model features dual amber LEDs. If a different LED color is a strict requirement, consider alternative models or brands that offer a wider selection of LED color options.
Is the ON/OFF/ON configuration always the best for my dual circuit needs?
The SPDT ON/OFF/ON functionality is ideal for controlling one of two circuits or for common switching applications like a dedicated anchor light or navigation light. If your dual-circuit requirement involves more complex logic or simultaneous control, a different switch configuration might be necessary.
