01 / The feeling
Designed to Disappear
Pack of 10 — £16 a light. Ten Kanto housings for £1 a light less than buying them one at a time, enough for an open-plan kitchen or a long hallway. Light sources are sold separately: choose GU10 lamps or LED modules for all ten above in one go.
The Kanto delivers seamless architectural elegance that transforms your ceiling into an unbroken canvas of light. Once plastered flush, it vanishes into the surface—no visible bezel, no trim, just a clean aperture that casts focused, glare-free illumination exactly where you need it. The matt black finish adds contemporary edge while maintaining that coveted minimalist aesthetic, perfect for modern interiors where every detail matters.
Built for real-world convenience, this fire-rated downlight features a clever twist-and-lock body for tool-free lamp changes—no need to damage your plasterwork. Its IP65 rating makes it ideal for bathrooms and humid spaces, while the 80mm cut-out suits standard ceiling depths. Compatible with both GU10 lamps and dedicated LED modules (sold separately), it gives you flexibility as lighting technology evolves. Aluminium construction, full fixings included, and a two-year warranty complete a thoroughly professional package.

A small footprint.
A lasting impression.
Just 9 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 9 cm circle on the floor with removable tape and look up from where you will sit. It hangs 11 cm below the ceiling — hold a tape measure up to check the headroom.

10× Installation instructions
Good to know
A few questions,
before it comes home.
Do I need an electrician to install this trimless downlight?
Yes, you'll need a qualified electrician to install the Kanto. As a hardwired mains-voltage fitting, installation falls under Part P of the Building Regulations in England and Wales, requiring certification upon completion. The installation is rated as moderate difficulty due to the plaster-in process, which involves cutting the ceiling aperture, securing the fitting, and plastering flush before final decoration.
Can I use this trimless downlight in a bathroom?
Yes, the Kanto's IP65 rating makes it fully suitable for bathroom zones 1 and 2, including directly above baths and showers. The sealed enclosure protects against water jets from any direction, ensuring safe operation in wet environments. Always confirm placement with your electrician to ensure compliance with the current wiring regulations for your specific bathroom layout.
What GU10 bulb do I need and is it dimmable?
The fitting accepts any standard GU10 bulb up to 7W maximum (typically LED), which you'll need to purchase separately as no bulb is included. The Kanto is fully dimmable when paired with a dimmable GU10 bulb and a leading edge (TRIAC) dimmer switch. Choose your preferred colour temperature—2700K for warm white or 4000K for neutral white—based on the room's purpose.
What are the cutout dimensions for ceiling installation?
The Kanto requires an 87mm diameter cutout in your plasterboard ceiling. The fitting itself is 39mm tall with a recessed depth of 106mm, so you'll need at least 106mm of clear void space above the ceiling for installation. Once plastered flush, only the aperture remains visible—no bezel or trim protrudes below the ceiling line.
How does the trimless plaster-in finish work?
The Kanto is designed to be plastered directly into the ceiling, creating a completely seamless finish with no visible trim ring. After installation and wiring, you skim plaster over the integrated flange so it sits flush with your ceiling surface, then paint to match. Once complete, only the clean matt black aperture is visible, giving that high-end architectural look found in contemporary interiors.
What warranty comes with this downlight?
The fitting is covered by a 2-year manufacturer's warranty and is both CE marked and RoHS compliant, meeting UK safety and environmental standards. The warranty covers manufacturing defects but does not extend to bulbs, which are consumable items, or damage caused by incorrect installation or use beyond the IP65 rating.
