The Hidden Foundation of Minimalism
# Kanto Pushfit Junction Box for Plaster-In Downlights
The beauty of trimless downlighting lies in its seamless disappearance into your ceiling architecture. This junction box makes that minimalist vision achievable, allowing your Kanto plaster-in downlights to deliver their clean, architectural aesthetic without compromising on practicality. Your ceiling remains uninterrupted, the lighting perfectly flush, creating that coveted contemporary finish.
Designed specifically for GU10 lamp installations, this clever pushfit junction box combines your ceiling circuit connection and lampholder in one compact unit. The pushfit terminals allow straightforward loop-in, loop-out wiring, eliminating the need for a separate junction box hidden above. When it's time to change a lamp, the GU10 holder simply unplugs from the fitting—no need to disturb the plasterwork. Class II rated with IP20 protection, the robust black plastic housing measures 100 x 38 x 88mm and comes with a two-year warranty for complete peace of mind.

Good to know
A few questions,
before it comes home.
Does this junction box require an electrician to install?
Yes, this is a hardwired electrical accessory and installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician in compliance with UK Building Regulations Part P. The Kanto junction box connects directly to your mains electrical supply and provides both junction box functionality and an integral GU10 lampholder. While the pushfit terminals simplify the wiring process, only a competent person should perform the installation.
What size plaster-in downlight does this junction box fit?
This junction box measures 88mm in height, 38mm in width, and 100mm in depth, designed specifically to fit behind plaster-in downlights that accept a GU10 bulb. You'll need to ensure your ceiling void has at least 100mm clearance depth to accommodate the box. The compact 38mm width allows it to fit between standard joist spacing.
Can I use this junction box in a bathroom?
No, this junction box is rated IP20 which means it's suitable for indoor use only in dry locations. It is not suitable for bathroom zones where higher IP ratings are required by BS 7671 wiring regulations. For bathroom installations, you would need a junction box with a minimum IP rating appropriate to the specific zone.
What type of bulb does this junction box accept?
The Kanto features an integral GU10 lampholder, so it accepts standard GU10 bulbs which are the most common downlight bulbs in the UK. The plug-in lampholder design allows you to unplug the GU10 holder for easy lamp changes without having to access the wiring. You can use LED, halogen, or other GU10 bulbs as preferred.
Do I need a separate junction box with this fitting?
No, the pushfit terminals are built directly into this unit, eliminating the need for a separate junction box. You can loop in and out using the pushfit connectors, making it ideal for creating lighting circuits with multiple downlights. This saves space in the ceiling void and simplifies installation.
What warranty does this junction box come with?
The Kanto pushfit junction box comes with a 2-year warranty covering manufacturing defects. It is both CE marked and RoHS compliant, meeting UK electrical safety standards. The warranty covers the junction box itself and the integral GU10 lampholder, though bulbs are considered consumable items and are not covered.
