The classic LS 990 switch

Timeless since 1968. The LS 990 is the classic among flat switches: Launched back in 1968, 50 years later its timeless elegance is still just as popular. With the aesthetics of the reduced form, the great user-friendliness thanks to the flat surfaces, and a clear structure, it is still winningover architects and developers today.

A classic is born

Inspired by the Bauhaus philosophy, reduced to elementary shapes: LS 990, the classic among the flat switches, is born.

A classic is advanced

There are designs beyond short-lived trends that never come from fashion. Like the classic LS 990 switch.

A switch conquers architecture

Strictly minimalist, organically playful or sensually opulent. With its restrained design and its classic shape, LS 990 fits in every architectural concept. Different design variants in plastic or genuine metal and various colours enable extensive scope. JUNG reference projects equipped with LS 990. JUNG reference projects equipped with LS 990.

There are designs beyond short-lived trends that never come from fashion. Unchanged in its shape, the LS 990 is just as timeless as adaptable. Entrepreneur Harald Jung and designer Herbert W. Richter in conversation about the development and success of the classic.

The switch, the socket

Every year 14 million sockets and 8 million flushmounting units for switches, produced on fully automated production lines, leave the JUNG production in Schalksmühle and Lünen.

A classic demonstrates diversity

From classic switch and light and temperature regulation to facility management applications. In technical terms, the system has been cutting-edge for 50 years.

LS 990 in Les Couleurs® Le Corbusier

Colour is just as important for architecture as the room or the shape. The Swiss-French architect Le Corbusier (1887-1965) was firmly convinced of this. Since 2014, JUNG has exclusively been providing its classic LS 990 switch worldwide in Les Couleurs^® Le Corbusier.
