Description

The Aethera is a 450mm diameter drum pendant with a black fabric outer shade and white inner diffuser, suspended on a black braided cable from a ceiling rose. The cylindrical shade conceals a single E27 bulb fitting (bulb sold separately), and the white lining inside the drum reflects light downward while preventing visible hot spots from the bare bulb.

Designed for dining tables, kitchen islands and bedroom lighting where even downward spread is needed, the Aethera works best positioned 700-900mm above a table surface or worktop. The 2000mm cable is adjustable during installation, allowing the pendant to be shortened to suit ceiling heights from 2.4m up to 3.5m. The IP20 rating limits use to dry indoor spaces only.

The black fabric shade is a tightly-woven textile with a matt surface that absorbs rather than reflects ambient light, so the pendant itself remains visually dark when the bulb is off. When lit, the white inner lining directs most of the bulb's output downward in a wide pool, with minimal upward spill. The 450mm diameter and 770mm height give the pendant enough visual weight to anchor a dining table for four to six people without overpowering smaller breakfast tables or kitchen peninsulas.

Dimmable when paired with a compatible E27 LED bulb and trailing-edge dimmer module. Ideal Lux manufactures the Aethera in Italy and backs it with a 5-year warranty.

Frequently Asked

What bulb does the Aethera take?

The pendant takes one E27 (Edison screw) bulb, sold separately. Most users pair it with a warm-white LED bulb between 8-12W and 2700K-3000K for dining and general room lighting. The fitting accommodates any E27 bulb type up to the maximum wattage shown in the specification.

Is it dimmable?

Yes, when paired with a dimmable E27 LED bulb and a compatible dimmer switch on the wall circuit. Use a trailing-edge dimmer module for smooth dimming performance with LED bulbs. The pendant itself has no built-in dimming electronics.

What ceiling height is needed?

The 2000mm cable allows the pendant to suit ceiling heights from 2.4m to 3.5m. For a dining table, hang the shade 700-900mm above the table surface. For kitchen islands or worktops, 750-850mm is typical. The cable can be shortened during installation to prevent excess cable bunching in the ceiling rose.

Can the fabric shade be cleaned?

Dust the shade with a soft brush or vacuum on low suction using an upholstery attachment. For marks, use a barely-damp lint-free cloth and allow the fabric to dry fully before switching the light back on. Do not use water-based cleaners or sprays directly on the shade.
