Solid, Hard, Sturdy Metal Enclosure
I ordered this switch box because of the size and would fit my purpose for wiring up my emergency lighting. What I did find out that I had second thoughts as why I didn't give this product a full 5 stars was that the wiring inside of the unit was too thin. So with that said, I gutted the entire unit, removed all the original wiring and made my own using 16 and 14 ga wiring. The main wire that powers the unit I substituted using 10 ga wire. As for the ground wire, I installed a ground block inside of the metal enclosure (see pics). I also substituted the "D" switch with a "non-lit" switch which runs my dash cam and wired a blinking red LED to that switch to denote that the dashcam is operating. The other switches I left them as is and are used to control my emergency lights on my vehicle. Overall, I'd still buy another switch box from STL, but I would gut it because of the thin gauge wire that they manufacture their products with.

Decent Product
The product quality itself at first seems great. The box is metal and comes with a an adjustable slide that is also metal. I installed the box to my dash so I would have ease of access and the ability to hide the wire with ease.I wired some Feniex T3 Surface mount lights up and ran them all to the first switch (labeled A). I flipped the switch, it came on for a minute, then turned off. I had ran a fuse wire directly to the battery as a precaution for the box. I figured I blew the 30A fuse I installed and to my surprise it was intact. I then checked the fuse on the back of the box and it was still in tact.I then began checking wiring over and could not find any faulty wiring. Finally I tried B and C switches and they worked. So, A switch had broken completely. Now, the switch doesn't even flick down, it hangs halfway and cant be pressed. For $20 dollars, I expected the box to last longer then 20 seconds. But I have used the box several times running to a fire call to activate my lights and B switch has worked flawlessly.

Momentary switch does not function well. Binds and sticks
Everything about the box seems well built but the momentary switch. It seems to be binding. I am in the process of installing the lights so will update this once I get the whole system in to see if it is something I can live with or if I will need to replace that switch (or just exchange the whole box)

great little box
great little box, made of steel and good switches for my emergency search and rescue lights on my truck, I power my code 1 and 2 lights on the box as well as a white out switch for all the light heads and I also run my air compressor under the bumper with the 4th switch

Indicator lights don’t last long.
The power lights (when switch is on) didn’t last long at all. After about 3 months two switches stopped lighting. Not really happy with that longevity of the indicator lights, but overall the switches still work and the box fit perfectly in my open compartment. (I’ve added a photo with all switches on)

Low Voltage Switch Box!
The box was a great looking piece and lit up well, but the voltage into each circuit is very low, and as a result any voltage over 20Amps will fry the wires. If you're running a big light bar to switch box it will most likely fry.

Simple and easy to set up
Easy to set up, only issue is did not come with screws to mount bracket to switch box, little bit of southern engineering and good to go. otherwise I would have given 5 stars. Used for front and rear strobes, led bar on front bumper and CB radio power

Switch box is muched better than what I had.
I like the ease of installation of wires. Wires are all labelled. I used Velcro instead of mounting bracket to attach it to dash.
