    Yeah, I wondered the same, so bought one to play with. Haven't fitted it yet, but seems well made, and a copy of the Carling/ARB ones looks wise. Will let you know when I have it installed, but will probably go and buy the rest of what I need.

    Didn't notice that, but to be honest if you're switching even 10A, you'd likely be using relays as you say....

    Also are US so no cheaper than buying Carling switches anyway.
    They look ok and I like the labelling options.

    I think that I'll be buying a couple of samples as well. They look good.

    We've got a row of these in our fire truck for all the auxillary lights, pump engagement, etc.

    They work great and it's very easy to see when they are 'on', however they are very touchy and a slight bump will lead to accidental actuation (we had a PTO disengagement on our pumper at a house fire last month due to a crewmember throwing their gloves onto the console )

    But they look and work great other than that, nice and bright in daylight too

    I bought some for my Incab winch operation and my auxiliary Air comp use..I will take pics when they get here







    pics as promised..seem comparable to the ARB air locker switches..They are made in Taiwan

    to stop accidental activation use a switch on the control box for separate grounding.
