Vimar Eikon Classic Cover Plate, For British Standard, 5-Module

Overview

The Vimar Eikon 20649 is a 5-module Classic cover plate for British standard installations, with a 154.8 x 94.8 mm front size, 9.7 mm depth, and support for either horizontal or vertical mounting.

It is the visible finishing piece for a Vimar Eikon switch or outlet group, so it matters both functionally and visually. On board, this type of trim is usually chosen for cabins, galleys, passageways, and other interior areas where the electrical front plates stay in view and need to match the rest of the joinery and hardware.

This range is built for built-in installation and uses clamp mounting with a mounting grid. Because the plate is rated IP00, it is better suited to protected interior locations rather than exposed helm positions, open cockpit surfaces, or other areas that see spray and washdowns.

Key features

• 5-module Classic cover plate format for British standard Vimar Eikon installations
• Can be mounted horizontally or vertically to suit the layout of the switch position
• Front dimensions of 154.8 x 94.8 mm with a 9.7 mm profile
• Built for clamp mounting and supplied as a cover frame for built-in electrical devices
• Halogen-free construction
• Range includes multiple finish and material options, including lacquered metal, glass, wood, and specialty metallic looks

Variants

This range changes mainly in finish and outer material so the electrical layout can stay consistent while the visible trim matches the interior style of the vessel. Available options include bright lacquered metal finishes such as Metallic Anthracite, Metallic Silver, Antique White, Siena Brown, Metallic Titanium, Metallic Champagne, and Arctic White, along with Glass White Ice, Glass Black Ice, Glass Silver Mirror, Satin Gold, Brushed Silver, Africain Wengue, White Oak, and Italian Walnut.

Across the range, the product stays in the same 5-module British standard format and keeps the same general footprint. What changes from one version to another is the look of the face and frame, which is useful when the switch plate needs to tie into painted panels, metal hardware, glass accents, or wood cabinetry.

Compatibility and fit

This cover plate belongs to the Vimar Eikon family and matches 5-module British standard layouts. It is intended to pair with the corresponding 5M BS frame and built-in device arrangement, so the main fit check is the existing Eikon British standard format rather than vessel brand or electrical voltage.

For refits, it is worth checking the current frame, insert count, and orientation before ordering. The plate itself does not change the function of the switch or outlet behind it, but it does set the finished opening size and the visible trim around the installation.

Installation and use on board

On a boat, this cover plate is a neat choice for accommodation spaces where the electrical hardware is part of the interior finish rather than hidden utility gear. It works well around berth lighting controls, cabin power points, galley switch groups, and companionway lighting panels when those circuits are already using the Vimar British standard platform.

It suits owners, builders, and yard teams who want the electrical trim to sit cleanly alongside other interior materials. The wider finish range is especially useful when the surrounding panel work is painted, metallic, mirrored, or wood veneered and the switch plate needs to look intentional instead of generic.

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.
