I use the carling V series externally and internally I’ve used Chinese toggles. On my last
boat ones I replaced 14 years ago we’re still working great
Currently all my
cabin and reading lights are led types with touch sensitive some with dimming , I then use
battery based 433mhz “wall” switches in two places to allow selected lights to be switched on centrally this also facilities exterior courtesy lights so that when boarding the boat at night ( from
dock or dinghy) I can switch on the lights from a key fob
I’m just redoing my DC breaker panel over thde
winter. Currently
cabin lights are broken up over three breakers ( FWD, STB,PORT ) and nav lights are on separate breakers. I’m adding switches to allow me to select the correct nav switch combinations both below and at the
helm .
I don’t get het up about Chinese stuff as an long term EE I can evaluate what I’m looking at. In the main most major components companies are making low tech components off shore anyway.
Medium term I’m replacing all the dc circuit breakers with electronic e-fuses of my own design this will remove much of the actual physical breaker switches and free up some DC panel space. Major functional electrical consumers will have dedicated switches.
