Plenty of other work to do
I have mostly finished with my wiring, waiting on the switches, I just hope the April date happens. Put it on hold waiting on the switches, back to fiberglass (Cowl & Pants). That should keep me busy until April. If they still don't come in, then I will go with the single LED's

Got the email from acs today saying that the expected date for delivery of "my" switches will be another 8 weeks.
But, she assured me i was first in line to get them, lol.
Bummer. Had they been upfront about the actual delivery i defiantly would have gone another route. I dont think they should still have them up as being for sale when they cant fulfill orders from nearly 6 months ago! Other builders might go down this same path. A person designs their electrical system with certain switches and cuts holes in various places and whatever other modifications are made to accommodate for what they have planned, something like this could and apparently has delayed projects for months and cost money to remake parts and redesign for something else. Im not very happy with acs right now.

Apem, Aveo, ACS RockRack, Kestrel-Air Rocker Switch
Hey Gang,
I was curious on the follow up to the switch debacle.
I spoke with APEM today regarding another control panel issue, but did bring up the dual LED switch. I came up with a part number as best I could, on the fly, using their online selection guide. They are indeed a manufacturer and only supply orders to large companies. ($1000 minimum order, 40 pcs minimum order, $10K per year min). Oh well... Mouser, Digikey, Newark, Allied Electronics will be able to quote and get what we want with a minimum order of 40 pcs and with a lead time of 10 weeks.
So, In short I ordered a few parts to play around with from Kestrel Air.
Stay tuned!
Chuck

RockRack dual LED's
Has anyone purchase the dual LED's rockrack switch? I'm at the point of purchasing everything I need for the panel. I would have never thought the switches would slow me down! So many to choose from...

I did
Took 6 months to get the switches in from ACS. Other vendors had the same backorder problem. If they are not in-stock, don't count on them soon. Also rumors that they were being discontinued, so make sure you order all you need at one time.

Been there, done that...
I started out buying all aveo products (lights & switches etc.)... I have since sold all the aveo stuff i had except the rock rack switches... Which I had on back order for 7 months & I'm still searching for a couple switch face plates... Great / cool products... Sad, Sad Service & Sales staff!!!! The AeroLED guys are absolutely awesome. I wish they'd make switches!!!

Brian, you either work at a bar or appreciate good scotch.
I think I see a bottle of Laphroaig in there.
I take mine neat.

With all of the discussion about lead times, back orders, and discontinuing, I decided to make an investment and purchase my switches from ACS. Believe it or not, they had almost all of them in stock with a date of September 13 as ETA for the two items on back order. We'll see how that holds up.
I got the dual colored ones, but my concern is they are on-on. Looking at Apem's website, however, you can wire them with a VPX pro so that it would function as an on-off. Can anyone confirm that?
Part #'s I ordered:
11-08208 AVEO 12V SWITCH ON-ON GR
11-08209 AVEO 12V SWITCH ON-ON BR
11-08211 AVEO 12V SWITCH ON-ON WR

Yes they will work as on/off if you don't put anything on the other 'on' pin. That's how mine are wired.
