Vimar LED Switch Illumination Insert, 12-24V AC/DC, 0.1W, White Light

Overview

The Vimar 10490 is a white LED signalling unit for illuminable Vimar rocker switches and push buttons, powered from 12-24 V AC/DC and drawing 0.1 W.

It sits behind the switch to add a locator light you can see at night, or a simple status indication depending on how your switch module is wired. Because the draw is tiny, it works well on boats where the panel may stay energized for night running.

Key features

• Runs on 12V or 24V systems (12-24 V AC/DC)
• 0.1 W power draw for low overnight load
• White LED light that is easy to spot on a switch panel
• Compatible with Vimar illuminable rocker switches across the Plana, Arké, Linea, Eikon and Idea families
• Insert-style lamp that integrates into the switch mechanism rather than a standalone panel indicator
• Works as a switch locator in dark cockpits and cabins, or as an on and off indicator for a connected circuit

Compatibility and fit

This signalling unit is intended for Vimar modular wiring devices that accept a removable light insert. It is not a round indicator lamp that mounts through a drilled panel, so verify your switch or push button is the illuminable version with the dedicated light position.

In Vimar cataloging, the same white 12-24 V insert is commonly shown as code 00935.W, which can help when matching an older panel bill of materials.

Installation and setup

Power down the circuit at the breaker, then remove the rocker and the switch module from the frame to access the rear. Fit the signalling unit into the light seat on the module and land the two leads on the illumination terminals.

For a locator light, the insert is typically fed from the panel supply. For a status indication, it is commonly tied to the switched output so it lights only when the load is on. Confirm the behavior before you reinstall the faceplate and button up the panel.

Electrical and system integration

Because it accepts 12-24 V AC/DC, it can be used on most boat DC systems and on low-voltage control circuits. Keep the feed protected by the same fuse or breaker that protects the switch circuit, and use tinned marine wire where the run is exposed to moisture.

Use on board

This is a good match for helm or cabin panels built around Vimar modular switches where you want a small white reference point at night, or a quick visual that a circuit like deck lights, spreader lights, or a livewell pump is energized.

Maintenance and care

The insert lives behind the faceplate, so routine care is mostly about keeping the switch panel clean and dry. If you see moisture or corrosion at the terminals, correct the source and re-terminate with clean, protected connections.

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.
