01 / The feeling
Architecture Without Interruption
Pack of 10 — £13 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 truly invisible lighting solution that transforms ceilings into seamless planes of architectural elegance. Once plastered flush, this mini downlight disappears completely into the surface—no visible rim, no interruption—leaving only pure, controlled light. The anti-glare aperture delivers a refined, comfortable glow that adds depth and sophistication to any contemporary interior, whilst the compact scale makes it perfect for smaller spaces, corridors, or where you need discreet accent lighting.
The Kanto brings serious practical benefits behind its minimalist appearance. Fire-rated for safety and peace of mind, the clever twist-and-lock mechanism means maintenance is refreshingly straightforward—no tools required to access the module. Quality aluminium construction ensures lasting performance, whilst the trimless plaster-in design creates that coveted high-end finish. Requires the separately-sold Mini LED module and driver. Professional installation recommended. Two-year warranty included.

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.
Do I need an electrician to install the Kanto Mini Trimless Downlight?
Yes, this is a hardwired mains-voltage downlight and installation falls under Part P of the Building Regulations in England and Wales. You'll need a qualified electrician or competent person registered with a scheme like NICEIC or NAPIT to carry out the work legally and safely. The installation is rated as moderate difficulty due to the trimless plaster-in design, which requires careful alignment and coordination with plastering work.
What type of bulb does this downlight use and can it be replaced?
The Kanto uses an integrated LED module rather than a replaceable bulb. This means the LED is built into the fitting and cannot be swapped out. Integrated modules typically offer better thermal management and a more compact design, but when the LED reaches end of life, the entire fitting would need replacing rather than just a lamp.
Can this trimless downlight be dimmed?
Yes, the Kanto is dimmable using a leading edge (TRIAC) dimmer switch. You'll need to ensure your dimmer is compatible with LED fittings and rated appropriately for the load. It's worth noting that dimming performance can vary between dimmer brands, so choosing a quality LED-compatible dimmer will give the best results without flickering or limited range.
Is this downlight suitable for bathroom use?
No, this downlight has an IP20 rating, which means it offers only basic protection against solid objects and no protection against moisture. It's suitable for dry indoor areas only and should not be installed in bathrooms or any zone where water ingress is possible. For bathrooms, you'd need a minimum of IP44 (or IP65 for shower zones).
What are the cutout dimensions needed for installation?
The fitting measures 68mm width × 39mm height × 88mm depth overall, but as this is a trimless plaster-in design, you'll need to create a ceiling aperture that accommodates the housing before plastering. The specific cutout size will depend on your ceiling construction and plastering approach—consult the installation instructions provided or have your electrician assess the requirements during the first fix stage.
What size room or ceiling is this mini downlight best suited for?
As a mini downlight with a compact 68mm width, the Kanto is ideal for smaller spaces, intimate areas, or where you want multiple discreet light points without visual clutter. It works particularly well in hallways, dressing rooms, walk-in wardrobes, or as accent lighting in residential settings. For general room lighting, you'd typically install several units spaced appropriately to achieve even coverage, with spacing determined by ceiling height and desired light levels.
