The Kato is a 10W dimmable LED downlight giving850lm on a wide 110 beam, withthree switchable colour temperatures and an IP44 rating, in nickel orwhite.

We are not publishing a cut-out size. None of our sourcesrecords one, and it is the single figure your electrician needs before cutting the ceiling.Ask us and we will confirm it before you order a hole cut to the wrong sizecannot be undone.

IP44 is why it can go in a bathroom

Most downlights are IP20 and have no business over a shower or a bath. IP44 is ratedagainst splashing, which puts the Kato in the bathroom, the laundry and under an eave where thealternatives cannot go. Your electrician will confirm the zone.

A 110 beam is a wash, not a spot

Much wider than the 60 general-purpose angle. At 110 the light spreadsbroadly and overlaps generously between fittings, which giveseven coverage with fewer downlights and no scalloping on the walls. It is the rightchoice for general room lighting and the wrong one for accenting a single object.

Three colour temperatures, and 5700K is unusually cool

3000K, 4000K or 5700K, switched at installation. That top figureis cooler than the usual 5000K genuinely daylight-toned, useful in a garage, a workshop ora laundry.

CRI above 86

That is high for a downlight, where CRI 80 is the norm. In a kitchen or a bathroom, where you arejudging food and faces, it is a visible improvement.

Where it works

• Bathrooms and ensuites, with the electrician confirming the zone.
• Laundries and under eaves.
• Kitchens and living areas, for even general light.
• Anywhere fewer fittings are wanted for the same coverage.

Questions

What size hole does it need?

We are not publishing a cut-out none of our sources records one, and a hole cut to the wrong size cannot be undone. Ask us and we will confirm before you order.

Can it go in a bathroom?

Yes. It is IP44, rated against splashing unlike the IP20 downlights that are far more common. Your electrician will confirm the zone.

How far apart should they go?

Further than usual. The 110 beam overlaps generously, so you get even coverage with fewer fittings and no scalloping.

Will it work on my dimmer?

It is dimmable, but compatibility depends on the dimmer. Check with us before ordering.

What colour temperatures does it offer?

3000K, 4000K or 5700K, switched at installation. The 5700K is cooler than the usual 5000K.

Is the colour rendering good?

CRI above 86, which is high for a downlight noticeable in a kitchen or bathroom.

What is the warranty?

Three years.
