Jung LS 990 Les Couleurs Dimmer
From £139.00
Jung’s classic LS 990 light switch design in the traditional single rotary dimmer version.
Inspired by the colours of nature, Le Corbusier developed a unique colour system based on two colour keyboards. With its series of subtle shades, the first palette of 43 tones from 1931, above all reflects naturalness. In 1959 he expanded the “Architectural Polychromy” with 20 stronger colours, to complement the first series of pastel shades.
THE LES COULEURS RANGE CURRENTLY HAS A LEAD TIME OF 10-12 WEEKS!

Installation
Jung LS switches and sockets are straightforward to install into standard British back boxes. All frame designs have the same rocker/plate size and inserts. Just follow the step-by-step pictures below or go to our Jung switch installation page.
NB: We used a European round box in the step-by-step pictures, but the procedure is the same for square UK boxes.

Dimensions
Does this cover a standard british back box?
This product covers a standard metal knockout box, but it doesn't cover the edges of plastic "dry-lining" boxes. If you can't fit a metal flush box, we recommend using "flat plate" drywall boxes or European round boxes. 
How deep does the back box need to be?
This insert is quite deep, it needs at least 40mm. Check the available options below.

Theย craft
Every Les Couleurs frame, button or cover is hand-sprayed in one single factory in Germany. They usually sprays car parts – turns out that it’s the most vibrant and longest lasting matt lacquer Jung could find!
The history
Created by Jungย in 1967, the LS990 switch range was inspired byย theย Bauhausย design philosophyย of the 1920s. Drawing on the principle of the unity of practicality and aesthetics, ย the LS990ย incorporated geometric form with simple elegance. It becameย an instant classic, enhancing the ambience of manyย iconic buildings, and is still lovedย by architects, interior designers and homeowners alike.
The LS990ย has been in production for 48 years and is still one of the most recognisable switches you will find.
The inspiration
With its clean, square lines and sleek finish the LS990 switch is at home in modern, minimalist interiors as well as more traditional homes where the innate character needs to be drawn out. It is a timeless, simple switch that will sit visibly on your wall without being attention-seeking.
With the Les Couleurs range, whether the more vibrant 1959 palette or the 1931 pastels, you can now add flashes of colour that suit your interior scheme. We like how some designers have used them to create a complete “tone in tone” match to the wall, but since all of the hues work with each other, you can also mix them for a more eclectic look!
