Description The Etera is a wall-mounted task light from Ideal Lux with a matt black finish, consisting of a curved arm extending 890mm from the wall to an adjustable metal shade housing a single E27 bulb fitting. The arm is fixed at two points to the wall via circular mounting plates, with an inline rocker switch positioned midway along the cable run for easy on/off control. Designed for bedside reading, office desks where wall-mounting saves surface space, and hallway task lighting, the Etera directs light downward from the shade while keeping the bulb recessed to reduce glare. The 890mm projection brings the light source out over a desk surface or reading position without needing to lean the shade far from vertical. The inline switch sits within arm's reach when seated, removing the need to reach to a wall switch or fumble for a cord pull. The matt black metal construction gives the fitting a low-glare finish that sits quietly against dark or mid-tone walls, while the simple geometric structure of circular plates, curved tube and conical shade pairs with both industrial and contemporary interiors. The shade tilts on its mounting joint, allowing light to be angled onto a specific task area or softened by directing it onto a nearby wall. The 1730mm cable length allows the fitting to be positioned at various heights depending on the application, from 1200mm above a desk surface to 600mm above a bedside table.

The fitting takes a standard E27 (Edison screw) bulb, sold separately. Most users pair this with a warm-white LED bulb between 6-10W and 2700K-3000K for reading or task lighting. Can the shade be adjusted? Yes. The shade tilts on a pivot joint at the end of the arm, allowing light to be directed downward onto a task surface or angled towards a wall to soften the effect. Is the switch positioned on the cable? Yes. An inline rocker switch sits approximately midway along the 1730mm cable run, placing it within reach when seated at a desk or bedside without needing to reach the wall socket. What height should it be mounted at? Typical mounting heights are 1200-1400mm above floor level for desk use, or 600-800mm above a bedside table for reading. The 890mm arm projection means the shade sits well out over the task area once mounted.
