Auxbeam AS-R60 6-Gang Slim RGB Switch Panel (Auto-Dimming, Memory, Waterproof)
Product description
If your off-road or marine setup has grown beyond one switch, the Auxbeam AS-R60 6-gang slim switch panel is built for that exact kind of chaos. On paper it’s a clean, multi-function control panel with RGB backlighting, three operation modes (toggle, momentary, pulsed), and an auto-dimming feature meant to keep the LEDs from blinding you at night.
That said, it’s not a “set it and forget it for any vehicle” accessory. It’s designed around 12–24V systems, and while the panel is meant to be protected for real-world use (including water exposure), the install details and what you plan to control matter a lot.
The essentials: what it is and what it solves
The Auxbeam AS-R60 is a 6-switch RGB switch panel intended for vehicle applications like truck, car, off-road, powersports, and marine use in 12–24V environments. The main idea is simple: you get one compact control hub for multiple circuits instead of reaching for separate switches.
The backlight is a big part of the appeal. Auto-dimming is there so the backlight brightens in daylight and dims when your surroundings are darker. If you’ve ever had overly bright dash lighting at night, you’ll recognize the problem immediately—this aims to reduce eye strain by adjusting brightness based on conditions.
There’s also a “memory function,” which is there to make your driving experience less annoying. When you turn the panel on/off, it can restore the light settings from before it was turned off.
Key features that actually affect daily use
Where this panel separates itself is not just “RGB colors.” It includes multiple functional behaviors for the switches and backlight.
- Three lighting/switch modes: TOGGLE (device stays on), MOMENTARY (press and hold to activate), and PULSED (strobe). That pulsed option can be useful when you want a strobe-style output rather than steady operation.
- Backlight OFF function: you can deactivate the backlight with a single click of the “MODE” button, so you’re not forced to keep it glowing.
- Auto-dimming backlight: it adjusts the brightness according to whether the environment is bright or dim, which is the whole point of reducing nighttime glare.
- Built-in solid-state relays in the control box, plus included circuit protection hardware (described as a resettable breaker).
One limitation to keep in mind: the product description says it does not support Bluetooth app control. So if you were hoping for phone-based customization, this isn’t that.
What stands out vs. what may feel limiting
This panel is more “middle of the road with useful extras” than a high-end, fully connected control system. The auto-dimming and memory function are the kind of features you appreciate after the first few drives—less fiddling, less distraction.
Still, it may feel limiting depending on your expectations:
- If you want Bluetooth app control or advanced software customization, you’ll be disappointed. The description clearly states it doesn’t support Bluetooth app control.
- If your installation plan depends on very specific mounting behavior, you’ll want to pay attention to how it’s meant to be installed. The bundle includes two mounting bracket types and double-sided tape, which helps, but it’s still an install you’ll need to plan carefully.
And yes—no product like this is perfect on every vehicle. It’s a 12–24V system accessory, so if your setup isn’t within that range, the match won’t be there.
Compatibility and installation considerations
The Auxbeam AS-R60 is described as compatible with all 12–24V vehicles. Examples listed include truck, boat, car, bus, off-road, powersports, marine, ATV/UTV, SUV, side-by-side, and heavy-duty machines.
On the mounting side, the kit includes two kinds of mounting brackets and double-sided tape. That flexibility is helpful if you’re choosing between a dash panel, center console, or even an overhead sunglasses holder-style location.
Practical example: imagine mounting the slim panel in your center console so you can reach it without stretching during off-road driving. During the day, the RGB backlight should be brighter, at night, it should dim automatically. And if you’re using certain lights in a horn-like momentary way, the momentary mode is there for that “press-and-hold” behavior.
Before you buy, it’s worth double-checking that your vehicle wiring plan is compatible with a switch panel that uses solid-state relays and includes a resettable circuit breaker for protection.
Tech summary
The description points to several built-in safety and control elements. Here are the practical tech takeaways that matter for buying:
- Solid-state relays built into the control box
- Included resettable circuit breaker described as protecting against reverse polarity, overcurrent, overvoltage, and overheating
- Silicone protective cover included to protect from water
- 12–24V vehicle compatibility
- No Bluetooth app control support
Is it worth it?
It’s worth buying the Auxbeam AS-R60 if you want a compact 6-switch RGB control panel for a 12–24V truck/off-road/powersports or marine setup, and you care about backlight comfort at night. The auto-dimming, backlight OFF option, and memory function are the features that make it feel less fiddly day-to-day.
You may want to skip it if Bluetooth app control is a must for your build, or if you’re not confident about installation locations and how you’ll secure the panel (even with brackets and double-sided tape included). Also, if your vehicle system isn’t 12–24V, it simply won’t fit your use case.
If you’re trying to replace a loose pile of switches with one cleaner hub, this panel is the type of accessory that can bring order—without requiring app-based setup.
