It uses an (ON)-OFF-(ON) momentary action, with BRIGHT and DIM legends that make the control easy to identify at the helm, cabin switch panel, cockpit, or other lighting control station.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe switch is rated for 20A at 12V and 15A at 24V, giving it coverage for common DC electrical systems found on many boats. It mounts in Blue Sea Systems waterproof panels and works with Contura switch mounting panels and accessories, making it a clean fit for panel upgrades, replacement switch banks, and dimmer control installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInternal and external gasket panel seals help protect the panel opening in wet marine locations, and the operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C suits exposed cabins, utility spaces, and seasonal storage conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSPDT rocker switch with (ON)-OFF-(ON) action for momentary bright and dim control.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBRIGHT and DIM legends help users identify the lighting adjustment function quickly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated for 20A at 12V and 15A at 24V for use with common marine DC systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounts in Blue Sea Systems waterproof panels for installations where spray and moisture are expected.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with Contura switch mounting panels and accessories for a consistent switch bank layout.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal and external gasket panel seals support a cleaner installation in water-resistant panels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating temperature range from -40°C to 85°C for use across a wide range of marine environments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade for use with Blue Sea Systems Deckhand Dimmer installations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eVariants\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis dimmer rocker switch is offered in two actuator color configurations for matching the look of an existing Blue Sea Systems panel or a new Contura switch layout.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe color changes between variants, while the core switch function remains the same across the range: SPDT operation, (ON)-OFF-(ON) action, BRIGHT and DIM legend, and compatibility with Blue Sea Systems waterproof panels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8291: Black actuator. The black finish works well in dark switch panels and helm layouts where a low-glare look is preferred.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8216: Gray actuator. The gray finish matches lighter Contura-style panel layouts and can help separate lighting controls from other switch functions by appearance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis switch is meant for panel-mounted use rather than loose inline switching. It fits Blue Sea Systems waterproof panels and can be used with Contura mounting panels, brackets, and related accessories when building or refreshing a switch bank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause the switch is a control for dimming rather than a complete lighting dimmer by itself, it should be matched with the proper dimmer module and wiring layout for the lighting circuit. For boat owners replacing an existing dimmer rocker, the most important checks are actuator color, switch action, pole and throw, panel style, and the voltage and current rating of the circuit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis switch suits cabin, cockpit, helm, and deck lighting circuits where quick brightness adjustment is useful without adding a digital display or separate control pad. It is a good match for boats using Blue Sea Systems Contura panels and Deckhand Dimmer components, especially when a consistent factory-style switch layout matters.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blue Sea Systems","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":52023101784245,"sku":"QBP440442-V7","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gray","offer_id":52023101817013,"sku":"QBP440442-V3","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1333262_qbp440442.jpg?v=1780191720","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp440442","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
