This genuine Carling rocker switch labeled “Washdown” is manufactured by laser marking, NOT printing. Laser technology allows for a stunning backlight effect. It is a great upgrade to our popular Contura II style Washdown rocker switch.

This rocker switch will replace any Carling V-series or Contura style rocker switch. That includes Contura style switches sold by Carling, Sierra, Blue Sea Systems, Sea-Dog, etc. It uses an industry-standard 1.45″ x 0.83″ mounting hole.
This rocker switch has 4 terminals on the back:
A hard copy of the wiring diagram will be shipped with this switch. You can also find it in the product images above, or download a PDF wiring diagram here.
This Washdown illuminated rocker switch is a special Contura V style made to be laser engraved, as pictured above. It is a similar shape, but different texture and appearance than Contura V switches that are meant to be printed. As you can see in the images there is no lens… the etching actually becomes the lens. So generally folks do not mix and match these switches, even among printed Contura Vs.
We carry this switch with warm white incandescent lamps or red, blue, cool white LEDs. The illumination only affects the lighting, not the color of the engraving. Blue and cool white is our most bright color, followed by warm white, then red is the least bright.

I really like the quality of the switches but was disappointed they didn’t come with gaskets. Then I see that you sell the gaskets for $1.75 each & claims they are unnecessary. At $20 per switch, $50 for one of them, I would think you could include the gaskets. I don’t think its reasonable for me to spend over $300 on switches & panels to have to spend another 20 on gaskets.
