KANTI 170x170 12W Square LED Downlight - Nickel Satin

The KANTI is a square LED downlight that draws 12W and delivers 720 lumens of cool white 4000K light across a wide 110 degree spread. The integrated LED is built in, so there is no separate bulb to fit or replace, and the broad beam pushes light out evenly rather than as a tight pool. American buyers shopping for a recessed can light or low-profile ceiling fixture will find this fills the same role, mounted neatly to the ceiling face. With an efficiency of 60 lm/W, it is a tidy, even source for general room lighting.

This downlight suits kitchens, hallways and landings where a clean square trim works well above worktops, doorways or circulation routes. At general lighting levels it covers around 2 m², so for a fuller room you would group several units on a sensible spacing to keep brightness consistent. It is rated IP20 for dry indoor use only, so keep it clear of bathrooms, porches and any damp or exposed location. The 4000K tone gives a crisp, neutral light that reads true colours, which makes it a practical choice for task-led spaces and busy thoroughfares.

The body is aluminium alloy with a nickel satin finish and a square 170 x 170 mm footprint that stands 35 mm deep, weighing 440 g. It runs from a 220 to 240V AC supply and is not dimmable, so pair it with a standard switched circuit rather than a dimmer. Mounting is to the ceiling surface, giving a flush square profile that sits proud of the plasterboard rather than recessing into it. The rated lifespan is 15,000 hours. Other square and round formats sit alongside it in the KANTI range from our wider Kanlux stock.

Can this downlight be dimmed?

No, the KANTI is not a dimmable fitting. It should be wired to a standard switched circuit on a 220 to 240V AC supply rather than to a dimmer, as using a dimmer with a non-dimmable LED can cause flicker or shorten its life.

Is it recessed or surface mounted?

This is a surface-mounted downlight, fixed to the face of the ceiling rather than recessed into a cut-out. It sits proud of the plasterboard with a square 170 x 170 mm trim and a depth of 35 mm, so no hole-cutting is needed during install.

How many will I need for a room?

Each unit gives 720 lumens, covering around 2 m² at general lighting levels. For a typical room you would group several on an even spacing to keep brightness consistent, allowing more units over worktops or task areas where you want a brighter result.

How do I clean the fitting?

Wipe the nickel satin face and diffuser with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth once the unit is switched off and cool. Avoid abrasive pads and solvent cleaners, which can mark the aluminium alloy finish over time.
