Aethera Outdoor 2 Light Wall Light - White

The Aethera is a rectangular outdoor wall light housing two G9 bulbs (sold separately) behind a white painted metal body with a 150mm projection from the wall. The fitting directs light both upwards and downwards through apertures at the top and base of the rectangular form, creating two beams that wash across adjacent wall surfaces rather than projecting outward into the space.

Designed for external walls around entrance doors, garage sides, garden perimeters and patio areas, the Aethera carries an IP44 rating making it suitable for sheltered outdoor positions where it will not be directly exposed to high-pressure water jets. The up-and-down beam pattern highlights wall texture and provides orientation lighting along pathways or steps without creating glare at eye level. The 65mm width keeps the fitting compact against narrow wall sections between doors and windows.

The white powder-coated metal finish resists corrosion from UK weather exposure and pairs with white render, painted brick, and light-toned cladding. The G9 fittings accept halogen or LED capsule bulbs up to the manufacturer's maximum wattage rating, and the fixture is dimmable when paired with compatible bulbs and a suitable outdoor dimmer circuit. Ideal Lux covers the Aethera with a 5-year warranty.

What does the IP44 rating mean for outdoor use?

IP44 means the fitting is protected against solid objects larger than 1mm and water splashes from any direction. This makes it suitable for sheltered outdoor positions such as under eaves, porch canopies, or covered entrances, but not for fully exposed locations subject to direct rain or pressure washing.

What bulbs does it take?

The Aethera takes two G9 capsule bulbs, sold separately. G9 bulbs are available in halogen (typically 40W-60W) or LED (typically 3W-5W equivalent). Check the maximum wattage rating on the fitting's label before installing bulbs.

Can it be used on a dimmer circuit?

Yes, the fixture is dimmable when fitted with dimmable G9 bulbs and connected to a compatible outdoor dimmer switch. LED G9 bulbs require LED-compatible dimmers; halogen G9 bulbs work with standard resistive dimmers.

How is it mounted to the wall?

The Aethera mounts via a backplate fixed to the wall with screws and wall plugs (fixings not usually included). The cable enters through the backplate and the light body then attaches to the backplate, concealing the cable entry and fixings.
