The visible change between variants is the front colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVM16145: Color Gray. The darker face gives more contrast against lighter trim and keeps the switch easy to identify at a glance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVM16145.B: Color Ivory. This is the lighter finish in the range and suits installations built around light-coloured trim.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a built-in modular insert for Vimar IDEA installations rather than a surface-mount switch. The body is 24.8 mm wide and 43.6 mm deep, and the front includes a label space that helps when circuits need clear marking at the panel or switch position.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause it is a 2-pole device with six terminals, it suits switching points where both poles need to be handled through the same control. On a boat, that usually means protected interior locations such as cabins, passageways, saloons or enclosed helm spaces where IDEA devices are already specified.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis switch is a good match for refits and new interior installations that use the Vimar IDEA system and need a centre-off switching layout in a clean built-in format. For open deck positions, cockpit coamings or other areas that see direct weather, a higher-IP device is the better fit.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vimar","offers":[{"title":"Gray","offer_id":52371089752245,"sku":"QBP168580-V1","price":46.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ivory","offer_id":52371089785013,"sku":"QBP168580-V8","price":46.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1314339_qbp168580.jpg?v=1774059265","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp168580","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
