Vimar Arké 2-Way Rocker Switch, 1P, 16AX, 250V, IP40, Lightable, Replaceable Button

Overview

The Vimar Arké 19005 is a 1-module 2-way rocker switch for flush-mounted installations, rated 16 AX at 250 V with IP40 protection and optional LED lighting. It uses a replaceable rocker, screw terminals, and a snap-in fixing system, so it suits clean panel layouts where you want a modular switch that can be serviced without replacing the whole device.

For marine use, this switch makes sense in protected interior locations such as cabins, enclosed helm panels, utility spaces, and other dry onboard areas where a flush-mounted control point is needed. The IP40 rating and flush format make it a better match for sheltered installations than for exposed deck or washdown zones.

The Arké 19005 range is offered in grey, white, and metal-look finishes, with antibacterial versions in grey and white. Across the range, the switching format, electrical rating, lightable function, and overall size stay consistent, which helps when matching replacement parts inside an existing Arké installation.

Key features

• 1P 16 AX, 250 V 2-way switch format for lighting and other compatible onboard AC control points
• IP40 protection for protected interior spaces rather than exposed weather areas
• Optional exchangeable LED for control or orientation lighting
• Replaceable rocker/button, useful when the visible actuator needs to be refreshed without changing the whole switch body
• 1-module flush-mounted body with snap fastening and screw terminals
• Halogen-free thermoplastic construction with a matt finish
• Supports up to 200 W for self-ballasted lamps

Variants

This product is offered in multiple configurations within the same Arké 19005 switch family.

Across these variants, the electrical format stays the same: 1P, 16 AX, 250 V, 2-way switching, lightable operation, replaceable rocker, and IP40 protection. What changes is the visible color and whether the rocker uses antibacterial material.

• VM19005.AB.B, White, Antibacterial Yes. This version keeps a clean white finish and adds antibacterial material for interior touchpoints that are handled often.
• VM19005, Gray, Antibacterial No. This is the standard grey version for matching existing grey Arké layouts in cabins, service spaces, or enclosed control panels.
• VM19005.M, Metal, Antibacterial No. This option gives the switch a metallic look for installations where the surrounding trim or panel hardware has a more technical finish.
• VM19005.B, White, Antibacterial No. This is the standard white version for bright interior panels and straightforward replacements in white Arké systems.
• VM19005.AB, Gray, Antibacterial Yes. This version combines the grey finish with antibacterial material for shared interior switch points.

Compatibility and fit

This is a 1-module Arké device with a body size of 22.3 x 49 x 36.8 mm and a built-in depth of 25 mm. Those dimensions are useful when you are replacing a single failed module in an existing panel or working within a tight back-box depth behind a cabin liner or console panel.

The switch body is flush-mounted, uses screw terminals, and fastens by snap engagement. It does not include a mounting plate, so it is important to check the rest of the Arké mounting arrangement in the vessel before ordering a replacement or building out a new multi-module panel.

Installation and onboard use

The 250 V rating makes this switch a fit for compatible onboard AC circuits rather than general low-voltage switching by default. On a boat, the key checks are circuit voltage, current, lamp load, available module space, and whether the location is protected enough for an IP40 device.

This range is a good match for boat owners, refitters, and electricians who want a modular interior switch with an optional locator light and a replaceable rocker. It fits best in dry accommodation spaces, enclosed helm areas, and interior service compartments where appearance and modular consistency matter as much as straightforward maintenance.

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.
