Purelux Multi-Switch Dashboard Controller, 8 Buttons, 10-30V

Eight added lights usually mean eight switches glued wherever there was room on the dash - and five seconds of hunting for the right one in the dark. The Purelux Multi-Switch gathers them into one panel the size of a phone, with backlit symbols and a master off in the middle.

Behind the panel sits its own fuse box with eight outputs and a 60 A residual current device, so you are not splicing into the factory loom. The cable between the panel and the box is 350 cm, so the panel stays in the cab and the box goes under the bonnet.

Key benefits

• Eight circuits, each fused - 2 x 30 A, 2 x 20 A, 2 x 10 A and 2 x 5 A, with a red LED next to each fuse showing which one has blown.
• Every button in three modes - latching, momentary (on while held) or strobe, with no separate flasher relay.
• Master off in the middle of the panel - one press kills everything behind it.
• Memory function - after the power is cut, the panel comes back in the mode it was working in.
• RGB backlight with an ambient light sensor - it does not dazzle at night and the symbol stays readable. 45 printed stickers and 5 blank black ones are included.
• A cable kit with stated lengths - 350 cm between the panel and the box, 100 cm control cable, 85 cm ground and a 40 + 60 cm positive lead with a circuit breaker. You know whether it reaches before you start.
• IP65 and -40 to +105 degrees C - built for a work machine cab, not just a passenger car.
• 12-month manufacturer warranty.

Technical data

Wiring and control

Power. Run the main cable (red) from the battery or another permanent power point to the residual current device, and from there to the fuse box terminal marked in red. Take the ground (black) to the frame or another solid ground point and to the terminal marked in black.

The panel. Connect it to the fuse box with the supplied 4-pole cable, into the marked socket on the box.

Trigger current. This decides whether the devices work with the vehicle off. Taken from the ignition switch or the lighter socket, they only work with the ignition on. Taken straight from the battery positive, they always work. The 2-pole plug goes into the fuse box.

Loads. Connect the lights to outputs 1-8, watching each circuit rating. If the load exceeds what the panel can pass, an output can drive a relay instead - the working current then runs through the relay harness and the panel only supplies the trigger.

Button mode. Two quick presses of the Mode button in the middle of the panel start programming - the LEDs above the buttons begin to flash. Then press the button whose function you want to change. A single press of Mode turns the backlight off.

Routing the loom and tying it into the vehicle wiring is workshop work - we can do that for you if you would rather not.

Who it is for

For expedition and off-road vehicles running several sets of lights, for trucks and machines where a work light and a beacon need separate switching, and for any cab that simply has no room for a bigger panel.

Why it is worth it

• One panel instead of eight switches and a separate flasher relay.
• Its own controller with fuses and a residual current device - no splicing into the factory loom.
• 350 cm between the panel and the box - panel in the cab, box by the battery.

Frequently asked questions

How many devices can I connect?

Eight - one per button. Circuits 1 and 2 take 30 A each, 3 and 4 take 20 A, 5 and 6 take 10 A, 7 and 8 take 5 A.

What if my lights draw more current than the panel can pass?

A panel output can drive a relay instead: the working current then runs through the relay harness and the panel only supplies the trigger. Total load switched directly through the panel is 600 W at 12 V and 1200 W at 24 V.

Will it work on a 24 V system?

Yes, the supply range is 10-30 V DC, so both 12 V and 24 V are within spec.

Will the devices work with the engine off?

That depends on where the trigger wire is fed from. Taken from the ignition switch or the lighter socket, the panel works only with the ignition on. Taken straight from the battery positive, it always works.

Does the set include a remote or phone control?

No. This version works from the panel only. The RF remote and the Bluetooth app come with the Multi-Switch Bluetooth/RF variant.

How far from the panel can the fuse box sit?

The factory cable between the panel and the box is 350 cm, which is usually enough to keep the panel in the cab and the box by the battery.
