Vimar 8000 Series 1P 1-Way Rocker Switch, 10AX 250V, IP40, Flush-Mount

Overview

The Vimar VM08000 is a 1P, 1-way rocker switch module for flush-mounted panels, rated 10AX at 250 V AC with support for self-ballasted lamps up to 100 W. It is built for compact switch banks where you want clean, consistent control of a single circuit from one location.

It fits a 1-module opening (22.0 mm wide) and keeps depth requirements reasonable for bulkheads and furniture panels, with a 35.5 mm overall device depth and a 24.0 mm built-in depth. With an IP40 rating, it belongs in protected interior locations such as cabins, saloon panels, or sheltered helm consoles rather than areas exposed to spray or washdowns.

Key features

• 1P, 1-way switching for controlling one circuit from a single location
• 10AX, 250 V AC rating, including self-ballasted lamp loads up to 100 W
• 1-module format (22.0 mm device width) for tight multi-switch layouts
• Compact body: 50.1 mm height, 35.5 mm depth, 24.0 mm built-in depth
• Screwed terminal connections for secure wiring in installations that see vibration
• Halogen-free thermoplastic construction with untreated matte finish
• Beige color (similar to RAL 9001) with a label area for clear circuit identification

Compatibility and fit

This is a modular insert intended for the Vimar 8000 system, snapping into a compatible 1-module support and finishing with the matching cover plate and frame. If you are matching an existing panel, confirm the series and module system before ordering so the device geometry and color line up with what is already installed.

Installation and wiring

The switch uses screw terminals, which makes it straightforward to terminate solid or stranded conductors when the correct ferrules and strip lengths are used. As with any onboard AC switching, isolate the circuit, verify zero voltage, and follow marine electrical best practices for conductor sizing, protection, and routing.

This device is rated for 250 V AC and 10AX loads, so it should be matched to the circuit voltage and the connected load type. After commissioning, it is worth re-checking terminal tightness during routine panel inspections, especially on boats that see frequent pounding.

Use on board

VM08000 suits dry interior switching points such as cabin lighting zones, head or utility area lights, and equipment enable circuits located inside a protected panel. It is also a good match for refits where you are standardizing multiple control points around the boat on a consistent 1-module switch format.

Maintenance and care

Clean the face with a soft cloth and mild cleaner, and avoid solvents that can haze or soften thermoplastic surfaces. If a switch starts to feel loose in the panel, remove power and check the snap-in seating and the condition of the surrounding support and cover plate.

Many products sold by Apollo Lighting include a manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials or workmanship. Warranty terms vary by brand, product category, and model, so eligibility, coverage duration, exclusions, and available remedies are determined by the applicable manufacturer. We recommend reviewing the warranty information provided with your product before installation or use, especially for marine electronics, navigation equipment, lighting, electrical systems, pumps, safety equipment, and other specialized marine products.

If you need warranty service, the claim must follow the process established by the manufacturer, authorized service center, or designated warranty provider. You may be asked for proof of purchase, a serial number, product registration, photos, maintenance or installation records, or other documentation. Apollo Lighting does not determine or modify a manufacturer's warranty coverage or final claim decision, but we are happy to help provide purchase information and direct you to the appropriate manufacturer or warranty resource.

Keep your receipt, product documentation, serial number information, and original packaging when practical. Damage caused by normal wear, misuse, improper installation, insufficient maintenance, corrosion, impact, unauthorized modifications, electrical issues, or operation outside the manufacturer's specifications may not be covered. Warranty claims are separate from standard returns, so a product that has been installed, used, or exposed to marine conditions may no longer qualify for return while still remaining eligible for evaluation under the manufacturer's applicable warranty.
