Overview

The Vimar Arké 19001 is a 1P 16 AX 250 V 1-way switch with a lightable, replaceable rocker button for protected interior electrical panels. It carries an IP40 rating and supports loads up to 200 W for self-ballasted lamps, so it fits the onboard AC side where you want a clean modular switch and not a weather-exposed control.

Within this family, the visible finish changes between gray, metal, and white, and selected versions use antibacterial material on the button surface. For boat refits and new interior fit-outs, it makes sense in cabins, passageways, galleys, or other enclosed areas where the switch is sheltered from spray and washdowns.

Key features

• 1P 16 AX, 250 V switch format for single-location control of compatible AC circuits.
• IP40 protection level for enclosed interior spaces rather than exposed deck or washdown areas.
• Lightable button format helps the switch stay easier to find in dim cabins or on night passages.
• Replaceable rocker button makes cosmetic replacement simpler if the visible piece gets marked or worn.
• Range includes gray, metal, and white finishes, plus selected antibacterial versions for frequent-touch locations.

Variants

This switch family is offered in multiple finish and material combinations within the same Arké 19001 format.

Across the range, the switching format remains 1P 16 AX at 250 V with a lightable, replaceable button. What changes between variants is the visible color and whether the button uses standard or antibacterial material.

• VM19001: Gray finish, antibacterial No. This keeps the look neutral on darker cabin panels and other interior switch positions.
• VM19001.M: Metal finish, antibacterial No. The face has a more metallic look for interiors that use metal-toned trim.
• VM19001.B: White finish, antibacterial No. This is the lightest appearance in the range and suits bright bulkheads and white panel surrounds.
• VM19001.AB: Gray finish, antibacterial Yes. It keeps the gray appearance while adding the antibacterial button material for touchpoints that see repeated daily use.
• VM19001.AB.B: White finish, antibacterial Yes. This pairs the white appearance with the antibacterial button material for frequently used interior controls.

Compatibility and fit

This is a modular interior switch, not a sealed exterior deck switch. On a boat, the practical fit is inside the accommodation or in another sheltered location where the switch is protected from direct spray, saltwater washdown, and standing moisture.

It is a good match when the project already uses the Vimar Arké range and you need a 1-way control point for an onboard AC lighting circuit or another compatible single-pole load.
