Vimar ARKÉ 1P 20AX 1-Way Switch, 250V, IP40, Flush Mount

Overview

The Vimar ARKÉ Series is a modular 1P 1-way switch range for 250 V circuits with a 20AX rating, optional exchangeable LED lighting, and screw-terminal wiring. It is available in 1-module and 2-module formats, with flush-mounted installation, snap fastening, and IP40 protection.

For boat interiors and other protected onboard spaces, this style of switch works well when you need a clean modular layout that matches an ARKÉ installation already planned into the panel or bulkhead. The 1-module versions measure 22.3 mm wide, 49 mm high, and 36.9 mm deep, while the 2-module versions are 44.8 mm wide with the same height, depth, and 26 mm built-in depth. The body is halogen-free thermoplastic with a matt lacquered finish, and the switch is rated up to 250 W for self-ballasted lamps.

Key features

• 20AX, 250 V~ switching capacity for 1-way control points where a higher current rating matters.
• Available in 1-module and 2-module formats to match the panel layout already used on board.
• Optional exchangeable LED lighting for control or orientation in low-light cabins and passageways.
• Flush-mounted body with snap fastening and screw terminals for a straightforward wired installation.
• Halogen-free thermoplastic construction with a matt lacquered finish in grey, white, or metal.
• IP40 protection for protected interior locations rather than exposed weather areas.
• 26 mm built-in depth helps when checking clearance behind furniture panels, liners, and switch consoles.

Variants

This range is available in grey, white, and metal finishes, and in 1-module or 2-module formats. The main changes across the variants are the visible finish and the module width used in the ARKÉ layout.

Across the range, the switching function remains 1P 20AX at 250 V~ with the same flush-mounted format, screw-terminal connection, optional LED lighting, and IP40 protection. The 1-module versions are 22.3 mm wide, while the 2-module versions are 44.8 mm wide.

Compatibility and fit

This switch is meant for ARKÉ modular installations, so the fit check starts with the rest of the ARKÉ system already in the boat or specified for the build. Confirm the correct 1-module or 2-module opening, allow for the 36.9 mm body depth and wiring space behind the panel, and keep in mind that the device itself does not use an integral mounting plate.

Because protection is IP40, it makes more sense in cabins, saloons, heads, galleys, interior helm panels, and other covered areas. It is not the right choice for exposed deck locations, washdown zones, or places that stay wet with salt spray.

Installation and setup

Wire termination is by screw terminal, which suits tidy panel work and service access during refits. When space behind the mounting surface is limited, the built-in depth is one of the first measurements to check, especially in shallow joinery panels and helm console sections.

This is a good match for builders and owners who want the ARKÉ look to stay consistent across interior switching points while keeping the same 20AX, 250 V~ switch function in either a 1-module or 2-module footprint.

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.
