The middle of three positions
You already have the frame and you need the switch in the middle of three or more positions on one light. The Jung 507 U is the intermediate insert at about £14.97. The frame and rocker are not stated in the box.
Jung switch comparison 2026
The best Jung switches, compared.
Top pick: Jung 507 U – Score 96 at about £14.97, with 4.8 from 236 reviews. Intermediate insert. The 606 W ties on score with fewer reviews, so the larger count takes the top pick. The cover is not in the box, and one review describes a torn terminal. Best value: Jung 606 W – Same score of 96 at about £12.60, the lowest price in the set, with 4.8 from 158 reviews. IP44, and reviews describe a housing. Fewer reviews than the 507 U. Jung marks 606 W discontinued from 31 August 2027. Updated 22.10.2026.

A modular lighting switch is sold as a complete surface unit or as a flush insert behind a separate frame and rocker. You buy one to match an installation you already have, or instead of a one-piece British plate. The article number decides the circuit. One-way, two-way, intermediate and two-gang are different jobs. An intermediate is the middle switch where three or more positions control one light. A two-gang insert is two mechanisms, not that middle switch. The [intermediate or two-way guide](/hub/electrical-equipment/jung-switch/sub/jung-switch-intermediate-or-two-way) names the circuit from the number of positions. Mounting is the next check. A surface unit includes a housing. A flush insert does not include the frame or rocker, and a British back box may need the matching frame. These switches are rated at 250 V. A lighting rocker is not an isolator: isolate at the consumer unit and prove dead. In a room with a bath or shower the plate belongs outside the zones, and IP44 does not by itself allow a switch inside zone 1 or zone 2.

Which Jung switch fits this job?
Question 1 of 2
Where does the switch sit?
The best Jung switches in detail
Our view
The Jung 507 U on amazon.co.uk is a flush intermediate insert at about £14.97, and across 236 ratings it sits at 4.8. One review in the file says the marks on the back are clear and the cables clip in if you strip enough, which is a like-for-like swap into an existing Jung plate rather than a new circuit. Several reviewers describe replacing an older Jung switch, including one described as about 50 years old, and they treat the mechanism as the usual Jung feel. The written reviews in this file are from Germany and Spain, so you do not have a UK-marked sample behind that star line. The listing does not state a frame or a rocker in the box, and a customer question about a cover goes unanswered. One unit arrived with a cable-release terminal torn out, which the reviewer did not put down to courier damage. Connection notes are described as poorly prepared, and one review calls the item a quiet dimmer, which does not match the intermediate title on the listing.
Pros
- Intermediate insert for three switches on one light, as one review states
- 4.8 from 236 amazon.co.uk ratings, the larger sample at this star line
- Reviewers report clear rear marks and cables that clip in
- Buyers describe swaps into Jung ranges that have been in the house for decades
- about £14.97, and a listed weight of 68 g
Cons
- Frame and rocker are not stated in the box
- Written reviews in the file are not marked United Kingdom
- One arrival with a torn-out cable-release terminal
- The Amazon 1-way row conflicts with the title and is not the circuit
Best for: You already have a Jung frame and need the middle switch where three positions control one light.
Less suitable: You need two rockers on one insert, a complete surface housing, or a cover included at this price.

Common questions
Is the 507 U a one-way switch?
The title calls it an intermediate. One review says it is the switch for three switches on one light. The attribute row says 1-way. That row conflicts with the title and is not used.
Does this listing include a cover?
Package quantity is 1. The listing does not say a frame or rocker is included. The bullets describe white and alpine white frames as a Jung range, not as the contents of this ASIN.
What do the reviews say about fitting it?
One review says the marks on the back are clear and the cables clip in if you strip enough. Several describe a straightforward swap. It is not described as tool-free. One unit was reported with a torn-out terminal on arrival.
Our view
The Jung 606 W is the grey rocker at about £12.60, listed as 2-way, IP44 and 250 V, and it is the only one of the three that reviews describe as a surface housing rather than a bare insert. The star line is 4.8 from 158 amazon.co.uk ratings. One review marked United Kingdom describes a utility-room swap after 15 years of daily use on the previous mechanism, and the replacement felt smooth. Other reviews talk about Jung surface switches lasting decades and about terminals that feel better than a DIY-store own brand. The rocker face is the weak point in the file: one buyer says it broke in use and is not sold separately, so a whole switch had to be bought. One order took from 1 July 2022 to 3 September 2022 and shipped from Spain. No indicator lamp is stated, and the 600 W, Wi-Fi and touch rows are not used as the load or as smart features. Jung’s UK page marks 606 W discontinued, with successor 806 W dated 31 August 2027, and that successor is not this listing.
Pros
- Grey surface housing in reviews, with IP44 and 2-way on the listing
- about £12.60, the lowest price in the set, at 4.8 from 158 ratings
- One UK utility-room review after 15 years on the old mechanism
- Terminals praised in a review, and the housing described as stable when fixed
Cons
- Rocker face not sold separately after it broke in one review
- Fewer ratings than the two inserts, and most written reviews are not UK-marked
- One order dispatched slowly from Spain
- The Amazon 600 W and Wi-Fi rows are not the switch
Best for: You are replacing a grey surface switch in a utility room, garage, cellar or loft.
Less suitable: You need a flush insert, a separate rocker face, or an indicator lamp in the box.

Common questions
Is the 606 W two-way?
The circuit-type row says 2-way. The title is a rocker, off/toggle. Colour is grey, the protection row is IP44, and the voltage is 250 V.
Does it come with a light?
No indicator is in the title or the attribute table. A customer question asks whether it comes with a light, and the page does not answer it.
Is it a surface switch?
The mounting row says wall mount. Reviews describe fixing a housing and long use of Jung surface switches of this type, including a utility-room replacement. One review says the rocker face is not sold separately.
Our view
The Jung 509 U is listed at about £22.75 as a double-change flush insert, rated 10 A at 250 V, with screw terminals and IP20. It carries 4.6 from 254 amazon.co.uk ratings, the largest count in this set and the lowest star line. Reviewers often say it feels solid and works once it is connected, and one buyer fitted a whole house with Jung ST switches, which is that reviewer’s series name rather than a model row on this page. The limitation is concrete: one review says one side no longer switches, and another says an electrician had to fit a bridge before the circuit worked. A third wanted documentation that was not in the box. Written reviews here are from Germany, France, Spain and Italy, with none marked United Kingdom. The attribute table also prints 250 W, Wi-Fi, touch and 1-way; those rows conflict with the mechanical title and are not the load or the circuit.
Pros
- Double-change flush insert with two positions on the listing
- 10 A at 250 V, screw terminals and IP20 stated
- 4.6 from 254 ratings, the largest sample in the set
- Reviewers describe a solid feel once the circuit is already right
Cons
- One review of a side that no longer switches
- One review that an electrician had to fit a bridge
- Frame not named in the box, and one buyer found no documentation
- about £22.75 is the dearest of the three, and the 250 W row is not the load
Best for: You need two two-way mechanisms on one flush insert and you already have the plate.
Less suitable: You need the middle of three positions on one light, an IP44 surface housing, or a cover in the same parcel.

Common questions
What load does the listing state?
10 A at 250 V, with screw terminals and IP20. An attribute row also says 250 W. 10 A at 250 V is not 250 W, so that wattage row is not used as the load.
Can it be used outdoors?
The listing states IP20. It does not describe outdoor use. A customer question asks about outdoors, and the page does not add an answer.
What faults show up in the reviews?
One buyer says one side no longer switches. Another says an electrician had to fit a bridge before it worked. A third wanted documentation that was not in the box.
How we compared
Three amazon.co.uk Jung switch listings were scored from the shelf figures noted on 21 October 2026. This is not a lab test. The weights explain the bands already stored on the display records. A conflicting attribute row is not scored as a feature, and a high star line cannot turn an insert into a surface housing.
1
Amazon evidence
35%The amazon.co.uk star rating is scaled against 5, and a fuller review count is preferred. All three rows are above 150 reviews, so none is treated as a thin sample. This part is capped at 35.
2
Listing fit
35%The article number has to match a named function, and voltage has to be printed. A stated current, IP rating or terminal type raises this part. A rejected row, including a 1-way claim on the intermediate insert, Wi-Fi, touch, or a wattage that is not the load, adds nothing.
3
Review outcome
20%Review text has to describe the stated job: a three-position swap, a double mechanism that works once connected, or a surface housing in a utility room. A torn terminal, a dead side, a bridge fitted by an electrician, or a rocker face that is not sold separately lowers this part. Non-UK reviews are buyer comments on the mechanism, not a UK survey.
4
Value
10%Shelf price is set against the job the article number actually does. The lowest price does not take the top pick when the review count at an equal score is lower.

Jung switch buying guide
Start with the article number, then mounting, then whether the cover is in the box. Price comes after those three. The notes below follow that order for these three amazon.co.uk listings, noted on 21 October 2026. None of the scores is a lab test.
What is a Jung switch?
A Jung switch in this set is a mechanical lighting switch from Albrecht Jung. On amazon.co.uk it is either a complete grey surface unit or a flush insert sold without the frame and rocker. You are usually matching an existing Jung installation, or choosing a module system instead of a one-piece British plate. The three listings are the 606 W, the 507 U and the 509 U. Shelf prices noted on 21 October 2026 were about £12.60, about £14.97 and about £22.75. Those figures will move.
Best for
- A householder replacing one failed Jung mechanism and matching the article number
- A fitter extending a Jung module system who buys the insert and the cover as separate lines
- Someone who already has the frame and needs either an intermediate or two two-way mechanisms
Not ideal for
- A buyer who expects a frame and rocker inside the 507 U or 509 U price
- A bathroom zone 1 or zone 2 fitting justified only by an IP44 mark
- Anyone treating a Wi-Fi, touch, 600 W or 1-way attribute row as the switch
Mistakes to avoid
- 1
Trusting the 1-way row on the intermediate
The 507 U is the intermediate for three or more positions on one light. An Amazon attribute row says 1-way. That row conflicts with the title and with Jung’s UK catalogue, so it is not the circuit. The 509 U is two two-way mechanisms, not a substitute for that middle switch.
- 2
Expecting a cover in the insert price
The 507 U and the 509 U are flush inserts. The listings do not include the rocker and frame. The insert price is not the cost on the wall. A British back box may also need the matching frame. The 606 W is the listing reviews describe as a complete surface housing.
- 3
Treating IP44 as a bathroom-zone approval
Plate switches in a room with a bath or shower belong outside the zones. Zones 1 and 2 need at least IPX4, and IP44 does not by itself authorise a switch inside those zones. The 606 W IP44 mark belongs with a utility room, garage, cellar or loft, not with a zone argument.
What to weigh up
Function and mounting
HighMatch the article number before the colour. The 507 U is the intermediate flush insert, about £14.97, for the middle of three or more positions. The 509 U is two one-pole two-way mechanisms on one flush insert, about £22.75, and it is not an intermediate. The 606 W is the one-pole two-way surface unit, about £12.60, grey and IP44. The two inserts are 71 mm and 43 mm deep on Jung’s logistics data, and the covers are separate.
Terminals, lamp load and listing hygiene
HighJung’s UK pages rate all three at 10 AX and 250 V, with a 100 W cap for self-ballasted lamps. The 606 W and the 507 U are screwless for rigid wire up to 2.5 mm². The 509 U uses screw terminals for rigid and flexible wire up to 2.5 mm². The Amazon table states 10 A and screw terminals on the 509 U, screw terminals on the 606 W, and leaves those fields blank on the 507 U. Ignore rows that say Wi-Fi, touch, 600 W, 250 W or 1-way where they conflict with the article number.
Which option suits you?
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
A grey surface housing
You are replacing a surface switch in a utility room, garage, cellar or loft. The Jung 606 W is about £12.60, listed as two-way and IP44. Reviews describe the housing. Jung marks 606 W discontinued from 31 August 2027.
Two mechanisms, plate owned
You need two one-pole two-way switches on one flush insert and you already have the plate. The Jung 509 U is about £22.75, with 10 A, screw terminals and IP20 stated. It is not the intermediate.
Common questions about Jung switches
Which Jung switch is the top pick in this set?
The top pick is the Jung 507 U, an intermediate flush insert at about £14.97, with 4.8 from 236 amazon.co.uk ratings and a score of 96. The Jung 606 W has the same score from 158 ratings, so the larger review count breaks the tie. The listing does not state a frame or rocker in the box, and one review describes a torn terminal on arrival. Written reviews in the file are not marked United Kingdom. The score is not a lab test.
Which Jung switch is best value?
The best value is the Jung 606 W at about £12.60, with 4.8 from 158 ratings and a score of 96. It is the lowest price at that score, and reviews describe a grey surface housing rather than a bare insert. One review marked United Kingdom describes a utility-room swap after 15 years on the previous mechanism. The rocker face is not sold separately in one review. Jung marks 606 W discontinued from 31 August 2027, with 806 W named as the successor. That successor is not in this set.
Is the 507 U a one-way switch?
No. Jung’s UK catalogue lists the 507 U as an intermediate insert, for the middle of three or more positions on one light. One review says it is the switch for three switches on one light. An Amazon attribute row says 1-way. That row conflicts with the title and with the manufacturer page, so it is not the circuit. If you need two separate two-way mechanisms on one insert, that is the 509 U, not the 507 U.
Does the price include a frame and rocker?
For the 507 U and the 509 U, no. Both are flush inserts. The 507 U listing does not state a frame or rocker, and the 509 U does not name a frame in the box. Jung’s sheets say the covers are separate, so the insert price is not the cost on the wall. The 606 W is the surface unit: reviews describe a housing and a rocker, and the listing does not itemise the box. Do not fold another retailer’s plate price into the amazon.co.uk figure.
Does IP44 mean the switch can go in a bathroom zone?
No. Plate switches in a room with a bath or shower belong outside the zones. Zones 1 and 2 need at least IPX4, and IP44 does not by itself authorise a switch inside those zones. The 606 W listing states IP44, and reviews describe a utility-room housing. The 509 U states IP20 and does not describe outdoor use. The 507 U listing does not state an IP rating. In England, a bath or shower alteration is notifiable under Approved Document P.
When should you call an electrician?
Call a competent person for a new circuit, a consumer-unit change, any bath or shower alteration, mixed circuits in one box, or damaged cable. Also stop if you cannot tell an intermediate from a two-way. In England, Approved Document P treats a like-for-like replacement as not notifiable. Scotland and Northern Ireland publish their own building rules. Isolate at the consumer unit and prove dead before any swap. A one-piece British plate is a different fitting, covered in the light switch comparison.
What load applies, and which listing rows should you ignore?
Jung’s UK pages rate all three at 10 AX and 250 V, with a 100 W cap for self-ballasted lamps. A 250 W row on the 509 U and a 600 W row on the 606 W are not that load. Wi-Fi and touch rows are not features. The 606 W and the 507 U are screwless for rigid wire up to 2.5 mm². The 509 U uses screw terminals for rigid and flexible wire. Amazon’s terminal row does not match that sheet on every listing.
Our verdict
In this set of three amazon.co.uk listings, the top pick is the Jung 507 U intermediate insert at about £14.97, with 4.8 from 236 reviews and a score of 96. The Jung 606 W holds the same score from 158 reviews, so the larger count breaks the tie. The best value is the Jung 606 W at about £12.60, the lowest price at that score, and reviews describe a surface housing. The Jung 509 U is about £22.75, with 4.6 from 254 reviews and a score of 92. None of these scores is a lab test. The frame and rocker are separate on the two inserts, and a lighting rocker is not an isolator.
