Vimar Plana 1P 16AX 1-Way Switch, 250V, IP40, Flush Mount

Overview

The Vimar Plana Series is a modular 1P 16AX 1-way switch range for flush-mounted AC switching points in protected interior spaces. Across the range, the switch is rated at 16AX 250 V~, supports optional exchangeable LED lighting for control or orientation, and is suitable for IP40 installations. The 1-module versions are 22.3 mm wide, while the 2-module versions are 44.8 mm wide. All versions are 49 mm high, 38.4 mm deep, and require 24 mm built-in depth.

This is a practical fit for cabin switch panels, galley joinery, heads, and other interior bulkheads where the switch stays out of direct spray. The body is halogen-free thermoplastic, the connection is by screw terminal, and the unit snaps into the Plana modular system with a replaceable button.

Key features

• 1P 16AX 250 V~ one-way switch for standard on and off control on AC circuits
• Optional exchangeable LED lighting for control or orientation
• Screw terminal connection with flush mounting and snap fastening
• IP40 rating for sheltered interior locations
• Halogen-free thermoplastic body with glossy white, glossy silver, or white finish with antibacterial treatment depending on variant
• Available in 1-module and 2-module formats to match the panel opening and plate layout already in place

Variants

This switch is offered in several configurations within the Plana range.

Across these variants, the switching function stays at 1P 16AX 250 V~ with optional lighting, screw terminals, flush mounting, and IP40 protection. What changes between versions is the visible finish, whether the white surface includes antibacterial treatment, and whether the switch occupies 1 module or 2 modules.

• VM14001.SL: Silver finish, 1 module. This version keeps the narrower 22.3 mm width and suits layouts built around a single-module switch position.
• VM14001: White finish, 1 module. This keeps the same narrower 22.3 mm format in standard white for Plana interior panels.
• VM14001.2.SL: Silver finish, 2 modules. This wider 44.8 mm body matches 2-module openings where the panel layout calls for a broader switch format.
• VM14001.2: White finish, 2 modules. This has the same 44.8 mm width in white for installations already arranged around a 2-module layout.
• VM14001.AB: White finish with antibacterial treatment, 1 module. This keeps the narrower 22.3 mm format and adds a treated surface for interior touchpoints that are handled often.

Installation and fit

The switch mounts flush and uses engage snap fastening, which helps when panel space is tight and a neat front finish matters. The 24 mm built-in depth is worth checking during refits, especially in furniture panels, liners, or service spaces with limited clearance behind the faceplate.

Because protection is IP40, this range makes more sense inside the cabin or in other covered areas than on open decks or washdown zones. It is a good match for boats and yachts already using Vimar Plana modules, and for refits where the finish or module width needs to stay consistent across the panel.

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.
