This TEQStone switch panel is built with quality components.
The switches themselves are either Carling or Carling Clone switches which normally cost about $10 each.
The voltmeter reads within .1V of my Craftsman multimeter.
I tested the USB ports using a constant current load resistor and a USB multimeter. Both ports were capable of sustained output at 2.5amps without any voltage drop. Most USB devices like phones and tablets hardly ever draw more than an amp for a long period of time. Based on my tests, I would feel confident plugging 2 of my most power-hungry devices in at the same time.
The switches are already screen printed with icons and text. Most are light oriented which is why this switch panel would be particularly suited for a truck or jeep. You could easily remove the screen printed labels with some goof off, or cover them with electrical tape. Personally I will probably just leave them all as-is and remember that the "Zombie Lights" switch controls my flux capacitor.
Conclusion:
This switch panel is made with quality components. I have purchased and used each one of these 4 components in other projects and know first hand that they are pricey. Getting all of them in one package for this price is a good deal.

I have the same setup but with 8 switches. Haven't figured out a way to mount mine yet either. They should offer a box enclosure to mount it in for much easier installation...However, they're actually designed for Marine applications in a boat so it would be installed directly into a dash in a boat where in a car you most likely don't have space to cut out to install in a dash in a car.

no it really wouldnt... most "12v accessory outlets" which is what that is and not a cigarette lighter are rated 10 to 15 amps... i would tie the usb and accessory outlet and voltmeter to one 20 amp fuse and then find out what the switches are rated for.. usually 10 amps a piece... 10 amps x 6 = 60 amps what professionals do is find out what the max amperage of your "load" is and then add 25% for expansion. those large led off road bars draw around 7 amp and the smaller ones around 1 - 5 a piece... therefore you could lets say you use the switches for what they are "designed for" the led bar 7 amps and multiple 1 - 5 amp led spot or driving lights will go on the high end with 5 amp led lights.and 1 set per switch... 5 x2 x5 = 50 and thats without the 7 amp bar... bang there went that fuse... (that is of course that you have them all on...) now for the low side 1 x 2 x 5 = 10 so all 6 banks on thats 17 amps plus whatever miliamps the voltmeter and usb are using (plus the backlighting for the switches themselves)... so we will say 18 amps just to leave out tenths of an amp.... now you have a buffer zone of 12amps for the accessory outlet. plug in something something like an amber strobe or rotator bar for all your whackering needs and POP there goes a fuse...

I would have put the ignition onto a relay and then the contacts of the relay would come direct from the battery to the switch panel. By rights, each one of them should operate a relay as a relay has better current switching than a switch mechanism.

The buttons do have a slight illumination in the off position to help you find and identify them when off. Current draw is minimal, but if it is a boat or vehicle that is not used very often, I would have the panel turn on with ignition, or with one of the switches like I ended up doing.

As long as you have a fuse for the main power and use proper connectors, not household wiring lugs you should be fine. I would like to see the back a little better and see how it is wired as the power going in is for the lights on the switches but is everything controlled by the same input or is there a free lug to attach your trip wire. I wire everything through a relay as it takes all the load off the switch and you can control brighter lights with your high beam switch going into the relay (that is the law in my province), but then fog or rock lights can be on the park light circuit and when you shut your lights off with the factory switch all lights go off no matter if the new panel switch is on or not.

It is common to tie into On-with-ignition in custom car audio installations. All points of tie-in under the dash will generally be post-fuse box and will have their own fuse. Any high drain, or high amp device (such as an amp or lighting circuit) should tap directly on the battery though.

@coryderrickson7769 5 жыл бұрын
I disagree, any point in which you tie into the factory wiring could cause an unforeseen problem and catastrophic failure of the whole system given any simple issue with the new wiring. It's always best (unless doing a plug and play such as a stereo) to run your own wiring. If said wiring fails it is 1 easier to diagnose. 2 will not compromise the integrity of the vehicle or its ability to move down the road.
