Modern illuminated design light switch in RAL colour glass optic with 2 chrome toggle levers. YORK
Product information "Modern illuminated design light switch in RAL colour glass optic with 2 chrome toggle levers. YORK"
Illuminated designer light switch with a Dark Chrome toggle and a front plate in your chosen RAL colour, from the YORK collection by ROHDE+ROHDE. The frameless front plate can be reverse-painted in virtually any RAL shade to order, allowing the light switch to be precisely coordinated with wall colours, furniture, fitted joinery, kitchen fronts or other architectural elements.
The combination of an individual RAL colour, brilliant glass effect and solid Dark Chrome toggle gives YORK a clean, contemporary and distinctly architectural character. The dark, polished metal creates a precise accent against the coloured front without dominating the overall design. Depending on the chosen RAL shade, the result can range from understated and almost monochrome to bold, contrasting and expressive.
RAL colours as a precise design tool for architecture and interiors
The internationally established RAL colour system provides an unambiguous way of specifying colours, making it particularly useful for architectural, interior and furniture design. Walls, doors, windows, furniture, kitchen fronts, metal components and many other elements can be coordinated using a specific RAL colour reference.
With YORK, this principle can be extended right down to the light switch. The front plate can be individually reverse-painted in virtually any required RAL shade. Rather than being added to the interior as an afterthought, the switch can therefore be considered as an integral part of the colour scheme from the initial planning stage.
Metallic RAL shades are excluded from this version. Due to their special pigmentation, they cannot be offered with this reverse-painted finish.
From understated whites, greys and natural tones to rich blues, greens and reds or striking accent colours, the RAL system offers extensive possibilities for individual residential and architectural schemes.
Dark Chrome – dark metal as a contemporary accent
The solid metal toggles in Dark Chrome give this version of YORK a particularly modern and minimalist appearance. Their dark, polished finish is more understated than conventional bright chrome, while still providing a clearly defined contrast against the coloured front.
Against lighter RAL shades, the dark toggle creates a crisp, graphic detail. Combined with anthracite, dark blue, deep green or other darker colours, it can create an almost monochrome appearance in which differences in surface finish and reflected light provide the visual interest.
Dark Chrome is therefore particularly well suited to minimalist interiors, contemporary kitchens, high-quality fitted furniture and architectural schemes featuring dark metal, glass or stone elements.
RAL colour hand-applied behind the transparent front
The distinctive appearance of the YORK front plate is created by its special painting technique. The selected RAL shade is not applied to the visible surface of the switch. Instead, the reverse of the crystal-clear acrylic glass is hand-painted in the chosen RAL colour in the ROHDE+ROHDE studio.
The colour is therefore viewed through the transparent front material. This creates a distinctive visual depth and brilliant glass effect that differs significantly from an ordinary directly painted plastic surface.
At the same time, the actual paint layer remains protected behind the transparent front and does not come into direct contact with hands or objects during everyday use.
Dark Chrome toggle with optional point of light
A characteristic feature of the YORK collection is the option of adding a subtle point of light to the toggle. Depending on how it is wired, the supplied 230 V LED insert can be used as an orientation light, indicator light or permanently illuminated design feature.
The dark chrome finish creates a particularly distinctive lighting effect. The small point of light stands out precisely against the dark metal surface and, together with the individually selected RAL colour, forms a carefully considered design detail.
Against darker front plates, the point of light can subtly break up the minimalist appearance, while on lighter or more intense RAL colours it provides an additional graphic accent.
If illumination is not required, the 230 V LED insert can simply be omitted during installation.
Crystal-clear glass effect designed for everyday use
ROHDE+ROHDE uses high-quality crystal-clear acrylic glass with effective scratch protection for its YORK front plates. The material combines the elegant appearance of a glass surface with excellent durability and is eleven times more impact-resistant than conventional glass.
A UV filter integrated into the material also helps to provide long-term protection for the reverse-painted colour finish against changes caused by exposure to light.
The combination of protected reverse painting, a durable surface and a solid metal toggle makes YORK a designer light switch created both for everyday use and for demanding architectural applications.
Blend into the colour scheme or create a deliberate contrast
One of the key advantages of an individually produced RAL front plate is the precision it offers when planning a colour scheme. If, for example, a wall, door, piece of furniture or kitchen front is already specified in a particular RAL colour, the YORK front plate can be ordered to coordinate with it.
The light switch can therefore blend almost seamlessly into its surroundings. Alternatively, a second RAL shade can be deliberately chosen to make the switch stand out as an architectural feature in its own right.
The Dark Chrome toggle adds further design possibilities: it can create a strong contrast against a light-coloured front or combine with darker RAL shades for a particularly understated overall appearance.
In addition to RAL, the YORK collection is also available in numerous other colour systems and colour collections.

Illuminated designer light switch with brass toggle lever from the YORK Collection. The minimalist white front plate with its frameless glass-effect finish creates an elegant contrast with the solid metal toggle levers in a premium brass finish. The combination of a crystal-clear surface, warm metallic tones and clean, understated lines gives the light switch an exclusive, architectural aesthetic. Combining minimalist styling with high-quality switching technology, the YORK light switch adds a refined design accent to any interior. The brass toggle levers against the white front plate create a beautifully balanced interplay between a classic material and contemporary design – ideal for sophisticated living spaces, exclusive interior schemes and modern architecture. A distinctive feature is the optional illumination of the toggle lever. A subtle point of light within the brass lever can be used as an orientation light in the dark, as an indicator light or as a permanently illuminated design feature.

Illuminated designer light switch with a brass toggle and black glass-effect front plate, from the YORK collection by ROHDE+ROHDE. Deep black and warm brass create a distinctive combination of materials that works equally well in contemporary architecture and classic, timeless interiors. The solid metal toggle stands out beautifully against the black reverse-painted front, turning the light switch into a considered design feature within the room. Rather than allowing the switch to disappear visually into the background, this YORK version deliberately emphasises the contrast between the black surface, clear glass effect and warm brass. Its minimalist form keeps the overall appearance balanced and refined. The result is a premium light switch for interiors in which materials, colours and even the smallest architectural details are carefully coordinated. Black and brass – a distinctive combination The character of this YORK version comes primarily from the interplay between two very different materials. The deep black front creates a calm, graphic surface, while the warm metallic tone of the brass toggle provides a deliberate and elegant accent. The effect can vary considerably depending on its surroundings. In lighter interiors, the black front plate itself becomes a striking point of contrast. Against darker walls, it can blend more subtly into the architecture, allowing the brass toggle to become the principal visual feature. The switch can also be incorporated into a wider material scheme, coordinating beautifully with brass taps, lighting, furniture fittings or other metallic details throughout the interior. Black reverse painting, applied by hand To create the distinctive appearance of the YORK front plate, the visible surface is not simply painted black. Instead, the colour is applied by hand to the reverse of the crystal-clear acrylic glass in the ROHDE+ROHDE studio. The black colour is therefore viewed through the transparent front material. This gives it exceptional depth and brilliance, while creating the characteristic high-quality glass effect of the YORK collection. This construction also offers another advantage: the actual paint layer remains protected behind the transparent front and is not directly exposed during everyday use. A subtle point of light within the brass toggle The solid brass toggle can optionally be illuminated. A discreet point of light within the toggle can serve several purposes: as an orientation light in the dark, an indicator light or simply as a permanently illuminated design feature. Against the black background, the illumination creates a particularly striking effect. The small point of light stands out clearly, while the brass surface subtly reflects the light around it. As a result, the switch takes on a completely different character after dark. Illumination is entirely optional. If it is not required, the supplied 230 V LED insert can simply be omitted during installation. Durable glass effect for everyday use The transparent surface of the YORK front plate is made from high-quality crystal-clear acrylic glass. The material combines the elegant appearance of glass with considerably greater durability and is eleven times more impact-resistant than conventional glass. The surface also features effective scratch protection. A UV filter integrated into the material helps protect the black reverse-painted finish against long-term changes caused by exposure to light. The front plate has therefore been designed not only for its visual impact, but also for long-lasting everyday use as a frequently operated light switch. YORK is available in more than black Black is just one of the many design options available within the YORK collection. Front plates can be individually reverse-painted in a wide range of colours. Options include colours from Farrow Ball, Little Greene and Designers Guild, as well as RAL and NCS shades. This allows switches and sockets to be coordinated with wall colours, kitchens, furniture, fitted joinery and individual architectural colour schemes. Choosing black does not limit future options either: the visible front plate can later be replaced separately with a version in a different colour.

If the interior design or colour scheme changes at a later date, there is therefore no need to replace the entire light switch. The black front plate can simply be removed and replaced with a front plate in a different colour. The switch mechanism and electrical installation remain unchanged in the wall. No electrician is required when replacing the front plate only.
Illuminated designer light switch with a brass toggle and a front plate in your chosen RAL colour, from the YORK collection by ROHDE+ROHDE. The frameless front plate can be reverse-painted in virtually any RAL shade to order, allowing the light switch to be precisely coordinated with wall colours, furniture, fitted joinery, kitchen fronts or other architectural elements. The combination of an individual RAL colour, brilliant glass effect and solid brass toggle brings together clean, contemporary design and the warmth of a metallic accent. Depending on the chosen shade, the switch can blend almost seamlessly with its surroundings or be used deliberately as a contrasting design detail. RAL colours for precisely coordinated interior schemes The RAL colour system provides a particularly practical basis for architectural and interior design planning. Wall finishes, furniture surfaces, doors, windows, kitchens, metal components and many other elements are frequently specified using a particular RAL colour reference. For YORK, the front plate can therefore be individually produced in virtually any required RAL shade. This allows the light switch to be incorporated precisely into an existing colour scheme or coordinated with other architectural and interior elements from the initial planning stage. Metallic RAL shades are excluded. Due to their special pigmentation, they cannot be offered for this version. From understated natural tones and rich colours to classic greys and beiges or bold accent shades, the extensive RAL palette offers a wide range of possibilities for both private interiors and demanding architectural projects. Brass as a warm contrast to your chosen RAL colour The solid toggles with a high-quality brass finish create a deliberate contrast with the individually selected front colour. Combined with cooler greys, blues or greens in particular, the warm metal introduces an interesting interplay between colour and material. With beige, cream, red or earthy shades, the brass can blend more harmoniously into the overall scheme. The character of the switch can therefore change considerably depending on the chosen RAL colour – from crisp and architectural to warm and inviting. It can also be coordinated with brass taps, lighting, furniture fittings or other metallic details within the room. RAL colour hand-applied behind the transparent front The selected colour is not applied to the visible surface of the YORK front plate. Instead, the reverse of the crystal-clear acrylic glass is hand-painted in the chosen RAL shade in the ROHDE+ROHDE studio. The colour is therefore viewed through the transparent front. This technique gives the selected shade a distinctive visual depth and brilliant glass effect that differs significantly from an ordinary painted plastic surface. At the same time, the actual paint layer remains protected behind the transparent material and is not exposed to direct contact during everyday use. Illuminated brass toggle If desired, the brass toggle can be fitted with a subtle point of light. Depending on how it is wired, the supplied 230 V LED insert can be used as an orientation light, indicator light or permanently illuminated design feature. The appearance of the illumination changes with the selected RAL colour. Against darker front plates, the point of light stands out particularly clearly, while on lighter shades it blends more subtly into the overall design. Combined with the brass finish, it creates a small but carefully considered lighting detail that also makes the switch easier to locate in the dark. If illumination is not required, the 230 V LED insert can simply be omitted during installation. Crystal-clear surface with excellent durability For its YORK front plates, ROHDE+ROHDE uses high-quality crystal-clear acrylic glass with effective scratch protection. The material has been developed for everyday use and is eleven times more impact-resistant than conventional glass. A UV filter integrated into the material also helps to provide long-term protection for the reverse-painted colour finish against changes caused by exposure to light. YORK therefore combines the premium visual effect of a colour reverse-painted behind a transparent front with the durability required of a light switch designed for everyday use. An individual RAL colour instead of a standard finish A front plate specified in a particular RAL colour allows YORK to be integrated with exceptional precision into an existing design scheme. This is particularly useful where other surfaces within the room have already been manufactured or painted to a specific RAL reference. The light switch can either blend discreetly into the wall surface or be deliberately specified in a second RAL shade to create a contrasting accent. In addition to RAL, the YORK collection is also available in numerous other colour systems and colour collections.

Where several boxes are used, the standard 71 mm centre-to-centre spacing must be maintained. The wall boxes must be at least 45 mm deep. For secure installation, the switch mechanisms are screwed directly into the wall boxes.

If a room is redesigned or given a different RAL colour at a later date, there is therefore no need to replace the complete light switch. A new front plate in the required RAL shade can be ordered separately and fitted in place of the existing front. The switch mechanism and electrical installation remain unchanged in the wall. No electrician is required when replacing the front plate only.
Illuminated designer light switch with a brass toggle and an individually selected Designers Guild colour, from the YORK collection by ROHDE+ROHDE. The frameless front plate is reverse-painted to order using a colour from Designers Guild, allowing the light switch to be carefully coordinated with wall colours, fabrics, wallpapers, furniture and other elements of an individual interior scheme. The combination of a Designers Guild colour, brilliant glass effect and solid brass toggle creates an expressive interplay of colour, material and surface. The warm character of the brass complements many shades beautifully and gives the switch a refined, decorative quality. Depending on the colour selected, YORK can either blend discreetly into the interior or be deliberately used as a contrasting design feature. YORK is a designer light switch collection by ROHDE+ROHDE. The light switches and front plates are manufactured by ROHDE+ROHDE and are not products made by Designers Guild. Colours from Designers Guild are used to create the individually finished front plates. Designers Guild colours for individual interior schemes Colour plays a central role in the design of sophisticated interiors. With a YORK front plate individually finished in a Designers Guild colour, this approach to colour can be extended right down to the light switch. This is particularly appealing where Designers Guild wall colours, wallpapers, fabrics, upholstered furniture or other decorative elements are already being used within a room. The light switch can be coordinated with the existing scheme, becoming a carefully considered part of the interior rather than simply a functional necessity. The front plate does not necessarily have to blend as discreetly as possible into the wall. A deliberately selected contrasting colour can equally turn the switch into a small but distinctive architectural or decorative feature. Combining colour with brass creates further design possibilities. Rich blues, greens or violets can form a striking contrast with the warm metal, while pinks, reds, beiges and natural shades can create a softer, more harmonious overall effect when paired with brass. Brass toggle as a warm metallic accent The solid toggle with a high-quality brass finish provides a deliberate counterpoint to the coloured front plate. Its warm metallic tone stands out against the brilliant colour surface and gives the switch a distinctive material quality. Particularly when combined with intense or characteristic Designers Guild shades, an interesting balance is created: the colour defines the overall surface, while the brass toggle introduces a precise metallic accent. The switch can also be coordinated with other brass details in the room, such as lighting, taps, door handles, furniture fittings or decorative accessories. This makes YORK suitable for contemporary and expressive interiors as well as more classic or eclectic schemes. Designers Guild colour hand-applied behind the transparent front The selected colour is not applied to the visible face of the YORK front plate. Instead, the reverse of the crystal-clear acrylic glass is hand-painted using the chosen Designers Guild colour in the ROHDE+ROHDE studio. The colour is therefore viewed through the transparent front. This distinctive technique creates rich visual depth and a brilliant glass effect that differs considerably from a conventional directly painted surface. At the same time, the actual paint layer remains protected behind the transparent material and does not come into direct contact with hands or objects during everyday use. The interaction between the colour and the crystal-clear surface can alter the visual character of the original shade, giving it a distinctive and particularly refined appearance. Illuminated brass toggle The brass toggle can optionally be fitted with a subtle point of light. Depending on the electrical connection, the supplied 230 V LED insert can be used as an orientation light, indicator light or permanently illuminated design feature. Together with the coloured front plate, this creates a carefully balanced interplay of colour, brass and light. Against darker shades, the point of light stands out particularly clearly, while on lighter or softer colours it becomes a more understated part of the design. In darkness, the small point of light becomes a characteristic feature of the switch while also making it easier to locate. If illumination is not required, the 230 V LED insert can simply be omitted during installation. Crystal-clear surface with excellent durability For YORK, ROHDE+ROHDE uses high-quality crystal-clear acrylic glass with effective scratch protection. The material has been developed for everyday use and is eleven times more impact-resistant than conventional glass. A UV filter integrated into the front material also helps to provide long-term protection for the reverse-painted colour finish against changes caused by exposure to light. As the paint layer is positioned behind the transparent front, YORK combines the distinctive visual effect of reverse painting with a durable and easy-care visible surface. Colour as part of the interior design Using a Designers Guild colour allows the light switch to become an intentional part of a wider interior scheme. Particularly in rooms where colours, fabrics, wallpapers and furniture have been carefully coordinated, a light switch need not remain merely a technical element. The front plate can, for example, be selected to coordinate with the wall colour, pick up a shade found in a fabric or wallpaper, or deliberately introduce a new colour accent into the room. Combined with the brass toggle, this creates a design element that can work equally well in colourful interiors and more restrained schemes. In addition to colours from Designers Guild, the YORK collection is available in numerous other colour collections and colour systems.
