Kanlux

About Kanlux

Kanlux is a Polish lighting manufacturer founded in 1989, run as a family business that has grown into one of Europe's larger lighting names, with products sold in more than 40 countries. The company makes most of the components in its own LED luminaires in-house and tests them in its own laboratory, which is how it backs many of those fittings with a guarantee of up to five years. For you that means a mid-market brand with real manufacturing behind it, priced well below the designer names while covering almost every job around a modern home or building.

LED panels for kitchens, offices and commercial ceilings

Kanlux LED panels give a broad, even wash of light from a slim fitting, which is why they are a default choice for kitchens, utility rooms, offices and shop floors. We stock both recessed panels that drop into a suspended ceiling grid and surface-mounted versions for solid ceilings, in square and rectangular formats including the standard 600 by 600 size. Many run on switchable colour temperature, so you can set warm white for a softer room or cool white where you want a crisper, brighter feel, and backlit designs spread the light more smoothly across the face than older edge-lit panels.

Downlights, spotlights and ceiling fittings

For general ceiling light, Kanlux covers recessed downlights, surface spotlights and flush ceiling fittings. Fire-rated downlights are part of the range for ceilings with a room or loft above, and you will find both integrated LED units, which keep the profile slim, and GU10 versions that take a replaceable lamp so you can change brightness or colour later. Tilt designs angle the beam to wash a wall or pick out a worktop, while fixed heads give straight-down ambient light. Most indoor fittings are IP20, so keep weatherproof versions for porches and bathrooms.

LED strip, tape and profiles

Kanlux LED strip and tape light up coving, shelving, under-cabinet runs and stair edges. The range spans different brightness grades and colour temperatures, single-colour and tunable, plus weatherproof tape for kitchens and outdoor use. Most low-voltage strip needs a matching LED driver to step the mains down safely, and aluminium profiles give the run a neat housing, hide the diodes and help shed heat for a longer life. We stock the profiles, end caps and diffusers alongside the tape, so you can finish the job properly rather than sticking bare strip to a surface.

Outdoor floodlights, bollards and facade lighting

For gardens, driveways and building exteriors, Kanlux makes LED floodlights, bollards, wall fittings and recessed ground lights. Outdoor fittings carry higher IP ratings, typically IP44 up to IP65 and above, so they cope with rain and dust, and many floodlights come with a built-in PIR sensor that brings the light on only when something moves, which helps with security and saves running them all night. Wattages run from compact garden floods up to high-output units for yards and car parks, with warm or neutral white to suit the setting.

Emergency and exit lighting

Kanlux emergency and exit fittings keep escape routes lit when the mains fails, which is a requirement in most commercial and shared residential buildings. The range includes maintained fittings, which double as normal lighting, and non-maintained units that only light on power loss, along with illuminated exit signs. Most provide the standard three hours of emergency running, and self-test versions check their own batteries and report faults, so a building manager is not relying on manual checks. Choose the duration and mounting to suit the route, and pair signs with bulkheads or downlights as needed.

Track and magnetic track systems

For flexible, directional light over kitchens, retail displays and open-plan rooms, Kanlux offers both mains-voltage single-circuit track and low-voltage magnetic track. Heads clip on anywhere along the rail and move as your layout changes, so you can add spotlights, pendants or linear heads where you need them. Magnetic systems run on a recessed or surface profile and give a cleaner, more modern line. We stock the rails, connectors and a range of heads, so a system can be built up and added to over time.

Light bulbs and light sources

Kanlux light sources cover the everyday caps and shapes, including GU10 spotlight lamps, bayonet and screw-fit GLS bulbs, candle, golf-ball and filament styles, plus capsule and tube formats. Outputs are quoted against the old incandescent wattages so you can match brightness easily, and many are dimmable, though as ever a dimmable lamp needs a compatible dimmer to run without flicker. Warm white suits living spaces while cool white works in kitchens and workshops, and replacing a separate lamp is cheaper than changing a whole integrated fitting later on.

Warranty, quality and choosing Kanlux

Because Kanlux builds and tests much of its own LED range, many fittings carry a guarantee of up to five years, with the exact term shown on each product page. When you are choosing, start with the room and the job: warm white around 2700K to 3000K for relaxed spaces, cooler 4000K and above for kitchens, bathrooms and work areas, the right IP rating for anywhere near water or outdoors, and a fire rating for downlights with a room above. If you are unsure, our team can help you pair fittings and drivers. We ship Kanlux worldwide, with free UK delivery on orders over £99.
