01 / The feeling
Architecture in Light
Pack of 6 — £16.50 a light. Six Kanto housings for 50p a light less than buying them one at a time, enough for most kitchens and living rooms. Light sources are sold separately: choose GU10 lamps or LED modules for all six above in one go.
The Kanto brings architectural elegance to any ceiling, disappearing seamlessly into the plasterwork for that coveted minimalist look. Once skimmed flush, there's no visible bezel or trim — just a clean aperture that floods your space with light. The anti-glare design ensures a refined, comfortable ambiance, making it perfect for contemporary living rooms, hallways, or anywhere you want lighting to feel effortless and unobtrusive.
Built with quality in mind, this fire-rated downlight features a clever twist-and-lock body for tool-free maintenance, so lamp changes are refreshingly simple. IP65 rated for bathroom use and constructed from durable aluminium, it's designed to last. Takes either a GU10 lamp or the dedicated LED module and driver (both sold separately). Cut-out diameter is 80mm. Complete with fixings and a 2-year warranty, it's a professional choice that delivers both style and substance.

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.

6× Installation instructions
Good to know
A few questions,
before it comes home.
Does the Kanto trimless downlight require a qualified electrician to install?
Yes, this is a hardwired mains-voltage fitting and installation falls under UK Building Regulations Part P. You'll need a registered competent person or qualified electrician to carry out the wiring and certify the work. The installation difficulty is rated as moderate due to the plaster-in nature requiring coordination with your plasterer to skim flush around the housing.
What GU10 bulbs work with this downlight and can it be dimmed?
The Kanto accepts any GU10 bulb up to 7W maximum wattage, which covers most LED GU10s on the market. It is dimmable using a leading-edge (TRIAC) dimmer switch, but you must pair it with dimmable GU10 bulbs for flicker-free performance. Choose your preferred colour temperature (warm white, cool white, etc.) based on the GU10 bulb you select, as the fitting does not include a bulb.
Can this IP65 downlight be used in a bathroom?
Yes, the IP65 rating means the Kanto is fully protected against moisture and water jets, making it suitable for bathroom zones 1 and 2 (directly above a bath or shower). Always verify placement complies with IET Wiring Regulations (BS 7671) for bathroom zones, and ensure installation is carried out by a qualified electrician familiar with bathroom electrical safety requirements.
What are the cutout dimensions and ceiling void depth needed for installation?
The fitting measures 87mm wide (cutout diameter), 39mm tall (visible/front face), and requires 106mm depth into the ceiling void for the housing. Ensure you have at least 110mm of clear ceiling void depth and that your ceiling is suitable plasterboard construction, as the trimless design relies on being skimmed flush with the plaster finish.
Is the bulb included or do I need to purchase a GU10 separately?
The bulb is not included. You'll need to purchase a GU10 LED bulb separately, with a maximum wattage of 7W. This allows you to choose your preferred colour temperature and beam angle to suit your room, whether you need warm ambient lighting or brighter task illumination.
What warranty does the Kanto trimless downlight come with?
The fitting comes with a 2-year manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. This covers the downlight housing and electrical components, though bulbs are typically considered consumable items and may not be covered. Always retain your proof of purchase and ensure installation is carried out by a qualified electrician to maintain warranty validity.
