01 / The feeling
Designed to Disappear
Pack of 10 — £11 a light. Ten Kanto Mini housings for £1 a light less than buying them one at a time, enough for an open-plan kitchen or a long hallway. Each housing needs a Kanto Mini LED module, sold separately — add all ten above in one go.
A sleek minimalist downlight that disappears completely into your ceiling, the Kanto creates the illusion of light emerging directly from the plasterwork itself. With its anti-glare aperture and matt black finish, it delivers a sophisticated, gallery-like quality to contemporary interiors where clean lines and uncluttered surfaces matter most.
This fire-rated trimless plaster-in fitting is engineered for seamless integration — simply recess into plasterboard and skim flush for an invisible bezel-free result. The clever twist-and-lock body means tool-free access for maintenance, whilst the compact 58mm cut-out suits tight ceiling voids. Constructed from quality aluminium with IP20 rating for indoor use, it accepts Mini LED modules and drivers (sold separately) rather than standard GU10 lamps. CE marked and RoHS compliant, backed by a 2-year warranty.

02 / Find its place
A small footprint.
A lasting impression.
Just 7 cm wide, with a 4 cm drop. Enough presence to anchor a table, small enough to live under.
Try the size before you buy
Mark a 7 cm circle on the floor with removable tape and look up from where you will sit. It hangs 9 cm below the ceiling — hold a tape measure up to check the headroom.
Rated IP20 — dry indoor spaces only, so not for bathrooms or outdoors.

Good to know
A few questions,
before it comes home.
Does the Kanto trimless downlight need to be installed by a qualified electrician?
Yes, this is a hardwired mains-voltage fitting and requires installation by a qualified electrician in compliance with Part P of the Building Regulations. The installation involves cutting a ceiling aperture, securing the housing to joists or ceiling supports, plastering over the trim edge, and connecting to your lighting circuit. This is rated as a moderate difficulty installation due to the plaster-in finish requiring careful alignment and finishing work.
Can this trimless downlight be dimmed, and what type of dimmer switch do I need?
Yes, the Kanto is fully dimmable using a leading edge (TRIAC) dimmer switch, which is the most common type found in UK homes. Ensure your dimmer is compatible with the LED module's wattage and specifically rated for LED loads to avoid flickering or poor performance. Your electrician can confirm compatibility during installation.
What size ceiling aperture do I need to cut for this plaster-in downlight?
The fitting measures 68mm wide × 88mm deep, so you'll need to cut an aperture slightly larger than these dimensions to accommodate the housing. The visible aperture height is just 39mm, but the trimless design means the plaster is brought flush to the edge of the aperture, making the fitting virtually invisible when installed correctly. Detailed cutting templates are included in the installation instructions.
Is the Kanto suitable for bathroom use?
No, this downlight has an IP20 rating, which means it's suitable for general indoor dry locations only and is not protected against moisture ingress. For bathroom zones (especially zones 1 and 2), you'll need a minimum rating of IP44 or IP65 depending on proximity to showers and baths.
Does this downlight come with a bulb, or do I need to purchase one separately?
The Kanto features an integrated LED module rather than a replaceable bulb, so everything you need for light output is built into the unit. There's no need to purchase separate lamps. If the LED module fails within the 2-year warranty period, the entire fitting would be covered under warranty.
What colour temperature and brightness does this downlight produce?
The specifications provided don't include lumen output or colour temperature (CCT) details for the integrated LED module. We recommend contacting us directly before purchase if you need specific brightness levels or colour temperature (warm white, neutral, or cool white) to match existing lighting schemes in your space.
