Vimar ARKÉ 1P 10AX 2-Way Switch, 250V, IP40, Replaceable Button

Overview

The Vimar ARKÉ is a modular 1P 10AX 2-way switch range for protected interior switching points on boats and other flush-mounted installations. It is rated at 250V~ with IP40 protection, and it controls one circuit from two locations, which is useful for cabin entries, companionways, berth lights, and other onboard spaces where switching is needed at both ends.

Across the range, the switch has a replaceable button and can be lighted for control or orientation. It is also rated for lamps with an integrated power unit up to 100 W, which matters when the circuit includes modern lighting loads rather than only basic resistive loads.

Key features

• 1P 10AX 250V~ two-way switch for one circuit controlled from two points.
• Available in 1-module and 2-module versions to match ARKÉ frame and panel layouts.
• Choice of screwed terminals or screwless push-in terminals, depending on variant.
• Flush-mounted modular body with snap-in fastening.
• Optional lighting for control or orientation, with a replaceable button.
• IP40 construction for protected interior locations, with a thermoplastic body and matte finish.
• Suitable for lamps with an integrated power unit up to 100 W.

Variants

This range is offered in grey, metal, and white finishes, with 1-module and 2-module front formats, and with either screwed terminals or screwless push-in terminals depending on the version.

The core switch function stays the same across the range: a 1P 10AX 2-way switch with optional lighting, a replaceable button, flush mounting, and ARKÉ modular styling. The variant choice mainly affects panel matching, wiring preference, and the look of the finished installation.

Installation and fit

This switch is made for flush-mounted installation and snap-in fastening within the ARKÉ modular system. On a refit or new build, the important checks are the module size that matches the frame layout, the finish that suits the surrounding panel, and whether the wiring job calls for screwed terminals or push-in screwless terminals.

Because the rating is IP40, it suits protected interior positions rather than exposed deck areas or any place that sees direct washdown. It fits best where the switch is sheltered from spray and the panel is part of the cabin, saloon, galley, passageway, or enclosed helm area.

Onboard use

This is a practical match for builders and refit crews working with Vimar ARKÉ interiors, and for owners replacing a worn switch without changing the look of the panel. It also works well where optional locator lighting helps find the switch at night without adding a separate illuminated control.

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.
