Overview
The Vimar Eikon is an axial 1-way 1-pole switch range for flush-mounted modular installations, rated at 16 AX and 250 V, with optional lighting and IP40 protection. Across the listed versions, the switching function stays the same, including a lightable, replaceable button and support for self-ballasted lamps up to 200 W.
For boat interiors, this style of switch works best in protected locations such as cabins, passageways, galleys, or enclosed service areas where a modular wall switch is needed and a locator light can help in low light. The body is halogen-free thermoplastic with a matt finish, and wiring is made through screw terminals.
Key features
- 1-pole axial 1-way switch rated 16 AX at 250 V
- Supports self-ballasted lamps up to 200 W
- Optional exchangeable LED lighting for control or orientation
- Flush-mounted snap-in device with screw terminal connections
- Halogen-free thermoplastic body with a matt finish and replaceable button
- IP40 protection for enclosed interior switch positions
Variants
This range varies by finish and module width. Available finishes are Grey, Silver, and White, and each finish is offered in both 1 Module and 2 Module formats.
The core switch specification remains the same across the listed variants: axial 1-way 1-pole switching, 16 AX, 250 V, optional illumination, and a replaceable button. The main fit decision is whether your panel layout uses a 1 Module or 2 Module device and which finish matches the rest of the installation.
Installation and fit
This is a flush-mounted snap-in device intended for the Vimar Eikon modular system. It suits refits and new interior builds where the vessel already uses Eikon-compatible mounting positions and matching trim. Because the protection rating is IP40, it belongs in dry, sheltered locations rather than exposed helm, cockpit, or deck positions.
Electrical use on board
The published rating here is 16 AX at 250 V, so it is best matched to AC lighting or switching duties within that specification. If your boat circuit is 12V or 24V DC, the available product data does not state a DC rating, so the circuit should be checked against the switch requirements before installation.
This range is a good match for interior lighting circuits and other protected onboard switching points where a clean Eikon finish matters and the basic switching function stays the same across different module sizes and colours.
