Vimar Idea Classica Cover Plate, 2-Module, Panel Mount, Technopolymer, IP00

Overview

The Vimar Idea 16787 Classica cover plate is a 2-module panel-mount cover plate in technopolymer for the IDEA wiring range. It measures 40 x 137 mm on the face, is 8.9 mm deep, and can be mounted horizontally or vertically depending on how the switch position is laid out.

On board, this plate works best in protected interior panels where you want a finished surround for switching points without adding bulk. Its IP00 rating means it belongs in dry locations such as cabins, enclosed helm panels, and service areas that are kept away from spray, washdowns, and open-weather exposure.

Key features

• 2-module Classica cover plate for panel mounting in the Vimar IDEA range
• Horizontal or vertical mounting, with 1 device insert horizontally or 2 vertically
• Technopolymer body with a glossy untreated finish and halogen-free thermoplastic construction
• Clamp mounting with mounting grid for a secure panel fit
• Integrated label area for circuit or switch identification
• Compact profile at 40 x 137 x 8.9 mm
• IP00 front protection, so it suits dry interior positions rather than exposed deck areas

Variants

This cover plate is offered in four color configurations, all built around the same 2-module Classica panel format.

The changing attribute across the range is the color. The panel size, mounting direction, clamp fixing, label area, halogen-free thermoplastic construction, and IP00 rating stay the same.

• VM16787.01, Color Bright White. Bright White gives a crisp match on white switch gear and light interior panels.
• VM16787.16, Color Black. Black keeps the surround subdued on dark dashboards, black panels, and electronics areas.
• VM16787.15, Color Graphite Grey. Graphite Grey sits between white and black finishes and works where a softer contrast is preferred.
• VM16787.04, Color Idea White. Idea White is the warmer white option in the range and suits panels that do not match a pure bright white tone.

Compatibility and fit

This is a 2-module cover plate for IDEA panel layouts, so the important checks before ordering are module count, panel orientation, and the matching device arrangement behind the plate. The format supports one insert in a horizontal layout or two inserts in a vertical layout, which matters when you are matching an existing switch station during a refit.

Installation and use on board

The clamp mounting format and mounting grid help when fitting the plate neatly around the device assembly on a flat panel surface. The label area is useful where switches need clear circuit identification, such as lighting zones, pumps, ventilation, or auxiliary services.

This product makes sense for builders, electricians, and owners standardizing interior switch panels around the Vimar IDEA range. It is a better fit for cabins, galleys, enclosed helms, and utility spaces than for any location exposed to rain, spray, or direct washdown.

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.
