No I think it's a CATRY switch. Chinese in origin:

Funny you ask - I don't actually know what it is - the switch and packaging is completely devoid of any manufacturer logo, which makes me suspect it's a cheap version of something better. 

 

It's a glass front http://www.wirelesslightingstore.com/glass-switch-touch-only-switches/MG-UK02W.html 

 

I'm looking at these too https://hartingtonheath.com/product/i-lumos-luxury-white-crystal-glass-panel-touch-controlled-led-light-switches/ - Never heard of I lumos before - a known brand? We've both actually spent about 5 mins turning a light on and off in the flat with the glass switch and both want them in the new house. Just need to find the right quality brand and price..

 

I know its an old post , but just as i skipped through https://www.dmlights.com/electrical-supplies/switchgear-and-plugs 

and was  wondering  how it works with rules of wiring .

Can you just use European light switches in the UK or is there a difference in Buidling Regs preventing you from using EU Light Switches (for example German ).

 

Just in case anybody wants to buy Niko light switches post Brexit, Electro Colli will ship Niko electrical components to the UK, including Niko Home Control (Home Automation). (DMLights have ceased supplying Niko).

 

FYI I just ordered about £120.00 worth of switches - took about a week from Belgium and no customs duties or additional VAT payable.
