Overview

The Vimar VM20381.012 is a 1-module LED pilot lamp insert used with Vimar Eikon panels and devices to add a small status or locator light to a low-voltage circuit.

It supports 12 V AC (50-60 Hz) or 12 V DC (SELV) and snap-mounts into a flush-mounted module position behind the cover plate, so you can keep switch indication clean and consistent at the helm, nav station, or an interior electrical panel.

With an IP40 rating, it is meant for protected, dry locations. Keep it away from spray, washdowns, and any spot where water can reach the device box.

Key features

• Supply: 12 V AC 50-60 Hz or 12 V DC (SELV) for common low-voltage onboard systems.
• 1-module format for Vimar Eikon device grids and panel layouts.
• Engage (snap-in) fastening for flush-mounted installations.
• Non-replaceable LED light source to avoid bulb changes inside the panel.
• No flashing function and no fixed symbol or imprint, keeping labeling up to the panel design.
• Thermoplastic construction with an untreated, matte grey finish (RAL 7024 similar).
• IP40 rating for sheltered interior mounting locations.

Compatibility and fit

This is an Eikon 1-module insert, so it needs to be paired with compatible Eikon mounting hardware and a matching cover plate. It is intended to sit in a standard flush-mounted device box or panel cutout used for modular switchgear.

If you are mixing series or finishes on board, match the module family and faceplate style so the lamp lines up correctly with the rest of the panel.

Electrical and system integration

Wire it on a protected 12 V circuit and treat it as a low-voltage indicator load. On DC systems, keep the feed within SELV practice and use appropriate overcurrent protection for the circuit in line with your vessel’s wiring standards.

If your boat uses a 12 V AC control feed from a transformer, the same module can be used on that 50-60 Hz supply.

Installation and setup

Install the device box or panel frame first, make up the connections with enough slack for service, then snap the lamp insert into the 1-module position before fitting the cover plate. Confirm illumination and correct circuit behavior before final assembly.

In high-vibration areas, take care with wire routing and strain relief inside the box so the module is not carrying cable load.

Use cases on board

This module is commonly used as a status indicator for switched circuits such as nav light controls, pump controls, or equipment enable switches where you want a quick visual check without adding a separate panel lamp.

It suits boats already using Vimar Eikon panels and owners who want consistent, low-voltage indication in interior spaces that stay dry.

Maintenance and care

Wipe the front gently with a soft cloth and keep the device area dry. If the LED stops lighting, the module is replaced as a complete insert rather than servicing a bulb.
