Common Concerns Answered
Will this switch handle my high-power LED light bars?
This Sea-Dog motion sensor switch is rated for a maximum of 2A. For lighting systems exceeding this current draw, you will need to use a relay to switch the higher amperage load, with this sensor controlling the relay coil.
Is the 15-foot detection range sufficient for my needs?
The 15-foot detection range is optimal for localized activation in areas like boat cabins, cockpits, or storage compartments. For very large open deck areas, consider multiple sensors or alternative lighting control methods.
Is this switch truly waterproof for marine use?
Yes, this switch features an IP67 waterproof rating, meaning it is protected against dust ingress and can withstand immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes, ensuring reliable operation in wet marine environments.
