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 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 switches 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 two lens switch cover.
