Full details
This Jung pull switch from the CD range is designed for users needing a straightforward way to control lighting circuits, particularly in spaces where remote control or wall-mounted switches are less practical. Its key benefit is the simple, direct operation via a pull cord to turn lamps on and off. A caveat is that this unit is a complete, free-standing enclosure and cannot be integrated into other cover frames.
