The module can’t find italic, bold etc. alternatives when don’t match a certain name pattern, in your case for “Aller Light” the normal “Aller” font has to be used for the bold alternative but the module is looking for “Aller Light Bold” which doesn’t exist. To have a bold alternative besides this limitation you can say which font should be used for bold, see below how this can be done.

\setmainfont[Allerlight][boldfont={Aller},bolditalicfont={Aller Italic}]
