Panel cutout diagram

In order for etched switch covers to properly fit side by side, you will need to understand the diagram shown here. Basically, you will need a MINIMUM of 0.20" between the inner edges of the switch body cutouts.

So you can either measure from the inner edge of a cutout to the inner edge of the next cutout, or you can measure from the center of a cutout to the center of the next cutout. If you measure from center to center, the distance would need to be no less than 1.03"

Do I want one-bulb illumination or two-bulb illumination?

Whether you want one bulb or two depends on the switch's function and application. Nearly all of our switch covers are available in either one lens or two lenses; however, several of our switch covers are multi-function, meaning that they can only be used with two-bulb switches. The main thing to consider is whether the switch itself is on-off or if it is more complex. If it is simply on-off, then a single bulb switch cover may be what you are looking for. If the switch is more complex, you will likely want to consider using a two-bulb switch and a two-lens switch cover.

Where are these products implemented?

Laser-etched switch covers are implemented in applications where a switch's function needs to be quickly and easily identifiable. They are built to be used in new installations as well as when replacing parts. Let's say that you have faded switch covers or damaged switch covers; then our laser-etched switch covers are ideal for your needs. They are simple to install. All you will need are the correct switch bodies and the right switch cover removal tool. Now that we have covered the basics, let us look at what options are available.
