Auxpower 8 Gang Switch Panel A28 - Versatile 12-24V Control

In this review the Auxpower 8 Gang Switch Panel A28 is evaluated as a versatile, value-oriented control solution for vehicles and marine craft. It is best for DIY installers and vehicle owners who need neat wiring and flexible control options, because its one-sided relay outputs keep wiring organized while the built-in solid state relays handle high loads safely. The panel's mix of Toggle, Momentary and Pulsed modes plus RGB memory backlight make it a practical choice when both function and cockpit aesthetics matter.

Key Features

• One-sided output: Keeps all equipment wiring on the same side of the relay for a neater, more serviceable installation and easier cable routing.
• High current capacity: Built-in solid state relays handle up to 60A with a DC 12-24V input, letting the panel control heavy accessories without extra external relays.
• Multifunction switches: Each gang offers Toggle, Momentary and Pulsed modes so users can choose steady, press-and-hold, or strobe control for different accessories.
• Memory backlighting: RGB illumination retains color settings and adjusts automatically to ambient light for clearer visibility in tunnels or at night.
• Durable design: Rated to operate from -40 to 221F and protected against reverse polarity, overcurrent and overheating for reliable use in harsh environments.
• Installation accessories: Includes a mounting bracket and 60 stickers to label circuits, making setup and identification straightforward.

Who It's For

The Auxpower A28 is aimed at truck, boat and off-road vehicle owners who want a tidy, feature-rich way to control lighting and accessories without running multiple remote relays. Installers who appreciate one-sided wiring will find routing and future maintenance easier, and users who want customizable illumination will value the RGB memory backlit function.

This is not for buyers who need app-based control or cloud connectivity, since the product operates without an app. Customers who require a dedicated, sealed external relay for each circuit or who need a simpler single-purpose switch might prefer a more basic panel.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Compact eight-gang layout with solid state relays that support high current loads safely.
• Flexible switch modes (Toggle, Momentary, Pulsed) to match many accessory types and uses.
• Auto-dimming RGB backlight with memory for easier night driving and a custom look.
• Includes mounting bracket and labels to simplify installation and identification.

Cons

• Some customers report mixed functionality; a minority experienced units that did not work, so careful testing on arrival is recommended.
• No app or wireless control, which limits remote or smartphone integration.
