Introducing the D-Switch 8-Channel Switch Panel

If you’re looking for full command over your lighting and 12V accessories at your fingertips, Diode Dynamics has you covered with the all-new D-Switch 8-Channel Switch Panel. This advanced automotive switch panel is packed with features to take your setup to the next level—whether you’re building out an off-road rig, overlander, or show vehicle.

Engineered from the ground up with lighting in mind, the D-Switch delivers everything you’d expect from a high-end auxiliary light switch panel, plus some industry-first capabilities that put it in a class of its own. Watch our feature overview video or keep reading for all the details!

Power Delivery & Outputs

The D-Switch comes equipped with four 30A outputs and four 15A outputs, providing serious power for your lighting and accessories. But what sets this system apart is the ninth, dedicated backlight channel, giving you a one-touch solution for activating all accent or backlit lights across your setup—no need to eat up a full output.

This extra backlight bus supports up to eight accessories, making it a game-changer for those using off road light switch panels with Diode Dynamics lights like SS3 or SS5 pods.

Dynamic Channel Assignment

Unlike most switch panels for trucks or UTVs, which assign outputs to fixed buttons, the D-Switch allows for full Dynamic Channel Assignment. You can group multiple outputs to a single button—or assign one output to multiple buttons with different actions, such as strobe on one and full-power on another.

Whether you’re running chase lights, air compressors, or auxiliary lighting, this flexibility ensures your setup functions exactly the way you want.

Trigger Wire Integration

The D-Switch includes four customizable trigger wires and a dedicated ignition wire. Want your lights to come on automatically with your reverse signal or hazard lights? Just wire it up and assign a function. Our engineers made it simple to create factory-style automation without complex modules or external controllers.

You also get Night Mode support, which dims the switch panel's backlight and can activate specific channels for safer low-light driving.

Advanced Lighting Customization

Through the D-Switch App, you’ll unlock full control over strobe, dimming, momentary/toggle function, and more. Want to strobe your rear lights while having full-power output as another option? Easy.

Momentary functionality is perfect for things like winches or horns, and you can even set overcurrent limits per output to safeguard your gear. You won’t find this level of control on other light switch panels in this class.

Durability & Reliability

The D-Switch is fully sealed to an IP67 rating and assembled here in the USA. It uses solid-state electronics—no relays to wear out—and has been tested at up to 120°C at full load. Resettable fuses and configurable overcurrent protection make troubleshooting fast and easy.

In short, this thing is built to handle whatever you throw at it—trail, track, or highway.
