Buying Guide
Key considerations for selecting marine rocker switch covers:
- Compatibility: Confirm the footprint (e.g., 49mm x 25mm or 49mm x 24mm) matches your existing Carling rocker switches.
- Lens color: Choose blue or red based on dashboard lighting and indicator conventions; blue often aids night readability, red is commonly associated with critical functions.
- Style: Decide between standard rounded covers and square covers to fit your panel’s layout.
- Material and durability: Look for ABS with flame-retardant properties for marine environments; ensure coverage is water-resistant and tear-resistant.
- Labels and tools: Some sets include sticker labels and removal tools—useful for organizing multi-switch panels.
- Installation impact: If your original switches have LED indicators, ensure the new lens supports backlighting to preserve readability at night.
