Fire hazard but still great

Excellent quality and super handy as it comes pre assembled and color coded. The problem is two 40A fuses. You definitely don't want to draw 40 amps through these switch legs or through switches rated at 15 amps. Change the fuses to 20 amps (or even 15 amps). You do NOT want a shorted light strip to cause an electrical fire in the switch legs or in the 12 AWG wire that powers the 3 switches (12 AWG wire is rated at 25A per the DC Wire Capacity Charts). So basically you have 3 switches (x 2) that can only handle a total load of 20-25 amps. So basically that means using switches with relays for heavier loads. What I would like to see is the same switch pre-wired for 6 dedicated channels, all in 12AWG. You can then fuse each circuit separately from the fuse block according to the load on each block. All in all a great product, just pay attention and don't overload!

Pros
  • Easy to install
Cons
  • Faulty
