Product Story
A modern classic in switch design, admired by architects since 1967 for its restrained, clean lines and the softly rounded, oversized rocker in the same material as the frame. This is the lush, dark stained aluminium variety with a gently brushed surface.

Dimensions
Does this cover a standard british back box?
This product covers a standard knockout box, but it doesn't cover the flanges of standard drywall boxes. We recommend using "flat plate" drywall boxes or European round boxes.
How deep does the back box need to be?
This needs a slightly deeper box, at least 35mm.
The concept
What makes the LS990 so appealing is the fact that it is one of the few ranges where the material and finish are unified across the entire piece. So, a brass-covered frame supports a brass-covered rocker. This adds a sleek coherence to the switch, and is one reason the LS990 has become a classic and much-loved design. Its restrained, geometric lines give it a minimalist form, whilst the clearly defined narrow frame contrasts beautifully with the unusually wide rocker.
And it’s not just pleasing to the eye. The boxy rocker is designed for ease of use and responds to just the gentlest touch, with a reassuringly soft click.
To maintain this clean, contemporary look the LS990 comes with a huge range of coordinating accessories, including British sockets.
The range
The dark metal LS990 finishes are both based on durable and light-weight aluminium, stained and brushed to create a sultry and matt surface with a hint of shine.
Timeless style in classic materials
The history
Created by Jung in 1967, the LS990 switch range was inspired by the Bauhaus design philosophy of the 1920s. Drawing on the principle of the unity of practicality and aesthetics, the LS990 incorporated geometric form with simple elegance. It became an instant classic, enhancing the ambience of many iconic buildings, and is still loved by architects, interior designers and homeowners alike.
The LS990 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.
Even surfaces and an effortless modular form offer comfort and style in equal measure, whether you choose a brushed brass switch to sit on a dark-toned wall, a gold finish for a clean white space or chrome to contrast with a busier print.
The Metal ranges offer both subtle matt and reflective finishes, as well as complementing the other LS990 Luxe, Neutral, White and Black ranges, which makes it the perfect accent for a wide range of interior styles.
