With the Adaptalux Lighting Arms, you can turn the ordinary into something extraordinary! See results and tutorials using this, and other colours here.
This product is part of our modular macro lighting system.
If you don’t already have Adaptalux Lighting, you may want to consider purchasing a pre-built or custom pack which will include everything you need to get started.
This new Pod Mini version with the Bluetooth is a welcome addition, love it, so much better with the addition of using my app

The best you can buy
If you want reliability, control and flexibility these are the best on the market, they let you make precise adjustments much the same way you would in a studio environment while being out enjoying the environment, what more can I say.
Trevor
A brilliant innovative product
The studio Kit is truly innovative photography equipment. With its high build quality and intuitive design, it was easy to use straight out of the box with a short learning curve. The supporting app is user-friendly, allowing me to unlock the kit’s full potential immediately. Online support is comprehensive
The lights occasionally lose contact and turn off when adjusting the arms, requiring a slight readjustment to turn back on, and the arms have some stiffness that causes them to spring out of position at times, these are very minor quirks that don’t detract from an excellent product.
This kit has opened up new creative lighting possibilities for my photography. Highly recommended
Rob
Adaptability
The ability to quickly swap arms and move light around is amazing. The only thing I can think of that might make this system better is a more secure feeling click when I seat an arm.
Rob
I have had an excellent experience
I have had an excellent experience thanks to Sam in customer service… thank you Sam… will buy and use many more times as the products are also first class and would recommend them to anyone looking to get into Macro photography.

✨ Adaptalux Lighting Arms – Product Review ✨
The Adaptalux lighting arms are an incredibly intuitive and creative macro lighting system designed for close-up photography. Each lighting arm is flexible, highly adjustable, and allows you to position light exactly where it’s needed with precision and ease.
One of the standout features is the magnetic system. The arms attach instantly and securely, while the colour filters snap on just as easily. There’s no fiddling with clips or complicated fittings – everything is quick, seamless, and genuinely enjoyable to use in practice.
The wide beam 200-lumen 5700K white light delivers a clean, natural daylight balance that works perfectly for macro subjects. It produces soft, even illumination.

Adaptalux is simply the best source for Macro
I’ve seen quite a few Videos by highly respected Macro Photographers using and recommending Adaptalux Lighting Products.
SubsequentIy I ordered a full range of their lighting systems.
Simply put, it’s one of the best purchases I’ve ever made.
The system is so well designed, simple to use, affordable, and It arrived in Minnesota in just a days from the UK. ATAPTALUX IS THE BEST OF IT’S KIND!
Sales/customer service is prompt, very personal.
I am glad to have found ADAPTALUX .

J’aime beaucoup ces petites diodes que j’emmène facilement dans mon sac. De plus elles tiennent longtemps en autonomie. C’est avec plaisir que je ferai des éloges d’Adaptalux. 😊
Patrick
nice kit
Great quality, very pleased with the items and fast delivery. Well packaged, and eco- friendly. The only thing stopping 5 stars is , it would be neat to maybe have a bit more length on the lighting arms, and it would be nice to have a carry case that could be used in the field. I realise that you have gone the eco route, but still would be nice. But hey, thanks anyway for a great product
Ray
An amazing solution to Macro lighting!
I recently purchased a complete bundle of Adaptalux products and couldn’t be happier with the quality and possibilities these lights now give me when taking creative Macro shots. Highly recommended for anyone who likes to experiment with Macro lighting.
Alex
Great but still room to improve
I’m genuinely loving the Adaptalux kit I’ve bought and whilst I went big early, I’m already getting strong results. That said still very very useful.
Shaun
Adaptalux la qualité
I bought the super adaptalux studio, you can immediately notice the quality of the manufacturing, the advisor for my purchase was very pleasant, responsive and very professional. My pods charge quickly. Yes it costs a certain price but it is really worth it, it is a very good investment. No regrets for this purchase, I did not take the Stabiliser base that they sold and I regret it, as well as the clamps to hold the objects. This will be the subject of a future order.
Patrick
Takes photos to the next level
Used these a few times with the main Control Pod 3.0 and a few single Pod Mini and to have this much control on lighting is really good.
Tyne
I’m very impressed with Adaptalux!
I got the full kit (not the starter) — each arm lets you adjust both the intensity and diffusion of light. The ultraviolet is truly fascinating, giving me an image that can’t be replicated with any other light source.
I’m still getting used to the flashes, but they look promising — you can mount them on the camera or use them separately. I recommend getting diffusers and an extra second pod, which is useful for lighting from two sides.
The only downside: my Pod 3 didn’t connect to the Android app, but it has its own on-body controls, and the flashes have their own controls that are even more convenient.
Vladyslav
Easy to manage
I purchased the pod mini and they have proven to be very versatile and effective for outdoor macro work.
Tim
Excellent Product
The lights I used previously didn't allow for precise lighting adjustments during macro photography.
However, the Adaptalux Studio LED arms enable fine-tuned lighting control on the subject, expanding the scope of my photography.
I am truly grateful—thank you very much.
HARUYUKI
Adjustable arms,light, app
Brilliant idea and works a charm, love the flexibility and the app, will be using this many many times, my only gripe is built in batteries, wished I had the option of changing batteries, something like an 18650, that’s just me
Andy
Highest quality of focused lightning
Adaptalux led arms are very flexible to be precisely set where needed on my settings. I really enjoy power dosing of each light through the app. Pod mini and control pod are very complementary, according to your settings. I highly recommend the adaptalux system for the light quality (precised colour temperature, beam angle adjustable).
JC
Versatility & build quality.
A versatile for numerous applications both inside & in the field
The UV options give extended versatility, and the flexibility means you can put the light exactly where you want it,
Build quality is excellent, and should last me many years
Kevin
ease of use and quality of product
I had been using the Nikon flash system but didn’t fully meet my lighting needs. When shooting extreme macro shots, it was hard to get the proper light in the correct location. Since using the adaptalux lighting system it is so much easier to place the lighting arms precisely and see in real time, what effect it has. 100% satisfied.
alex
Versatility
I have been using Adaptalux for a few years and have just upgraded to the Control POD 3.0, these are great for my Forced Perspective (TOY) Photography. The kit can be used for all kinds of close-up, macro and product photography, for which I have just lent part of my kit to a camera club member to do glass products and also used for a Forced Perspective Workshop I ran at our camera club receiving great interest. You can start small and build up to suit each type of photography that you participate in. I have met Sam & Ben a few times and they are a great team to chat and deal with. These products are well worth considering.
Lord Michael
Light can be adjusted fantastic
It’s not cheap, but the build quality is fantastic.
Just like a photo studio set up, you can set it up beautifully with the adaptalux app.
I can recommend it to everyone for macro photography.
Eric
Do NOT Hesitate!
I absolutely LOVE how efficient and quick, not to mention FUN, this system is! I got the 5 port system with 3 lights (Blue, warm white and amber) and had amazing results from the start! Love finding new ways of creativity with Macro photography and Adaptalux does NOT disappoint! Being in Canada, the package was received in a reasonable time and I had it up and going within minutes. I use the app on my phone to control the lighting levels and blend, and I am thrilled with the whole experience! One of my favourite products for photography.
Michelle
First ever adaptalux shooting with mushrooms
First setup a little bit tricky whe outside in the forest. However, I got used to it quite fast. So just look at the attached picture. That was No. five on this very first day with adaptalux.
Dirk
Small size, light weight, many colours on hand
Having only recently received your product I’m still experimenting with multi lights, spread patterns, ease of placement, very happy so far with all my multiple choices.
Robert Jolliffe
Exactly what I needed.
I was relatively new to macro photography but the Adaptalux studio has elevated my photos to new heights. The ease of use and flexibility is what I enjoy the most. The videos are informative and provide valuable inspiration. The way you can angle the arms to provide just the right lighting is unsurpassed. I am currently saving to purchase more colors. Well done to the team for a wonderful product.
Eddy
I found it great to use
It was marvelous using the adaptlux lighting system and I am planning to add to what I have thank you
tony
The hidden treasure for macro photography.
When I first saw the Adaptalux system on a YouTube video, its small size and flexibility blew me away, as did the possibility of controlling the intensity with an app. This was the first time I had seen this system, at least in Norway, and after some thought, I decided to order one. The system is just great and works like promised. Taking these pictures is still a big job, but the system makes it much easier.
The Adaptalux system truly shines when lighting small objects for macro photography.
Ivar Fjeldheim
Adaptalux Studio is very adaptable 😉
The adapalux studio is a very versatile lighting system. You really have to try it for yourself to discover the endless lighting options at your fingertips. Different colour lights, colour filters, diffusers all help to create what you want to achieve in your macro photography. The accompanying App makes it even easier, giving you a hands free approach to concentrate on your lighting setup.
The adaptulux website contains very helpful information on how to get the best out of the adaptulux studio and the system is modular, so you can add to it later if you want. The buying process was straightforward and the contents arrived in a lovely carbon neutral packaging. I highly recommend it.
Bryan
Quality
So after a long time looking at the systems and trying to justify spending so much cash I thought what the hell and went ahead a purchased a system and im glad I did the lights are of really good quality as is the main unit all comes well packaged and worked straight out of the box. Only tried using it a couple of times so far but things look very promising although bit of a new learning curve for me.
If you are looking at this system then do it can highly recommend it.
andy
Its ease of use.
The product is beautifully designed and fit for the job. My macro photography setup has become so much more user-friendly as the Adaptalux lights have a wonderfully small footprint compared to the much larger array of table lights I was using. The packaging deserves a special mention as it is extremely well-designed as befits high-quality equipment. The magnetic pop-on filters are simply inspirational. I wish I had bought from you years ago. I’ll be back for more kit in the very near future.
Robert
Quality of Product
I am only just getting used to the lighting having done very little macro photography. However I am more than pleased with everything and cannot wait to experiment and learn more. The online Adaptalux videos are brilliant, giving me lots of ideas.
Keith
Unlocking a new world of photography
The ultraviolet lighting arm is a must-have for this surreal photography world. Simple setup – I produced fantastic otherworldly images in minutes. Just get used to working in the dark and be patient, adjusting exposures. There are lots of resources available on the website. Unlocks new creative possibilities with unique glowing results unlike traditional lighting. Highly recommended for photographers wanting to try something new
Rob
UVIVF
Having used and loved the regular arms and the Xenon Flash arms I thought I would try the UV lighting. A good decision. They need a blacked out room and tripods because of long exposures. The results are spectacular and very different. Unlike other UV lights I have tried, these give off a pure UV light. If you are considering trying UVIVF photography you will enjoy it. I have 3 arms but plan to buy two more. I can recommend the Adaptalux UV arms.
Ken
my favorite thing about Adaptalux is
II bought the complete kit, the one with the UV light. So far I have tested the UV lamps the results are really impressive, next test will be the flowers with and without tonic water. As for the colored lamps, I tried the paper effects and a few miniature photos and I am more and more impressed, the only regret is that I should have made this purchase much earlier. Now I’m impatiently waiting for the Flash Zenon to come back in stock.
I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate you on your good work on your channel, the examples and ideas you give are very good and the explanations are always very clear.
Carole
The app rocks. Easy and intuitive to use.
First off, it works exactly as advertised. The arms snap in and out easily and produce beautiful color precisely where you want them. I started in macro photography last year and wasn’t pleased with the lighting solutions was using. I am so happy to have found the studio pod. It’s already had a real, and beautiful impact on my photos. Also, the background cards included with the purchase are extremely handy and were a greatly appreciated bonus.
Peter
Flexibility and diversity
Although I haven’t had the chance to use the system yet, I have conducted several dry run mock-ups in preparation for getting out this weekend. I primarily purchased the system for outdoor macro photography and I am sure it will more than fulfil my requirements.
Tim
Ease of use and teaching me so much
Hey everyone, just wanted to share my thoughts on the Adaptalux Studio Ultimate Pack. As someone who loves tinkering with photography but isn’t a pro, this thing is a game-changer! Setting it up was surprisingly easy. No complicated manuals or tech jargon—just plug and play. And the results? Mind-blowing! The lighting is on point, bringing out details I never knew existed in my macro shots. But what I love most is how it’s helping me learn. Experimenting with different lighting setups is like a fun puzzle, and I can see myself improving with each shot. It’s like having a mini photography workshop in my own home.
Mat Dudley
The “flexibility” is real!
Lighting Arms are very useful but the versatility of the setup also allows you to accomplish macro targets that are challenging.
Marsha
Great product! Customer Service is amazing!
Great product! From ordering, to shipping to receiving the Adaptalux kit was simple, received when stated. When I had questions , they were answered in a timely fashion. Great experience.
Cosimo Cavaliere
Flexibility in use.
A really useful quality LED Lighting Kit for macro tabletop photography. Excellent Adaptalux web site for instruction and technique on using the kit. Highly recommended.
John
Easy to use and very versatile
I have found the Adaptalux Studio pod and lighting arms to be very easy to use and versatile in their application. The products are of high quality and have proved to be very useful in my macro photography helping me to get light to exactly where I want it.
Phil
Adaptalux Studio SUPER Ultimate Pack
I received this pack in December and have begun using it to help light my macro subjects. The lighting arms make a big difference, allowing me to use a much shorter shutter time. I am waiting for the adapters to be delivered to allow the mounts I bought to be fitted to the Pod Minis. These adapters will enable me to position the pods and lighting arms more precisely and become more creative.
Adrian
Full of versatility and full of fun.
Really love the system. Easy to set up shoot, and control the settings via the app for the main pod. The mini pod is great for side or backlight. Just had one shoot with uv light so far and can’t wait to do more.
Guillaume
Well built and easy to use
The lighting arms are very well built and provide a most excellent light. Very easy to set up and focus.
Bob
Ease of use
Just a simple and well thought out device. Works as advertised. It would be great having some longer lights in the system. It would give you more room when you need to bend the light in a larger arch. Still a great product.
Kent
Adaptability
Nice and easy to use indoors and outdoors. Helps me get the lighting just where I need it. The kit is well-made and feels robust.
dave
Superb product!
It is a pleasure to work with a well-designed lighting system. I use it for Macro, Photomicrography and UVIVF photography, and it is well worth the investment.
Martin
A wonderful, innovative lighting system that works
Working with constant lighting takes the guesswork out of the equation. The ability to place and project light in different colours and at different strengths continually makes you think about your composition and the many ways you could light your subject.
The portability of the system allows you to get down and dirty with your macro subjects and see the possibilities you never ever saw before.
In addition, you can add to the system as you go along or as you skills and photography needs develop.
The Adaptalux system is innovative and fun to use. Moreover, it’s a demonstration of what can be achieved when you have a clear goal.
Highly recommended
Steve
Clever bit of kit
Enjoying using my recent purchase and the uv arms open new possibilities to macro photography.Very clever
John
Great service combined with a great product
I ordered my Adaptalux studio over the New Year period when typically shipping anything to Australia is difficult. Not so with my Adaptalux starter pack, it arrived in 4 days. Everything was very well packed and I was able to start using it the day it arrived. Thanks for a great product backed by great service.
Jen
Swift delivery and immediate follow-up
My order was delivered Down Under in little more than a week and Sam/Ben answered a couple of beginner’s queries overnight.
The products are sturdy and versatile. I discovered that the pod plus lights were best used attached to a spare tripod. I’ve been trying to watch all the excellent videos. I’ve been trying out various lenses and thinking of imaginative subjects. This is going to be so much fun!!
Anne
Flexibility, compact and easy to use.
Good experience with this system and the accompanying videos helped me to get to grips with the system pretty quickly.
Looking forward to eventually getting the UV lights and possibly a strobe or two even though I am a big fan of the always on lighting.
John
Solid build
As I start to use my kit I’m finding the flexibility of control over the lights with the associated app is very useful. I also referred to the FAQ’s on the website to successfully solve a question by following the recommended advice – problem solved!
David
Absolutely Brilliant
The uses of the individual light sources on the object is ingenious. It’s like post-processing images in the beginning…
I still have a lot to practice, especially in the macro area, but with this system it is really fun. (The first fly looked somewhat extraterrestrial) I can really recommend this system.
Tom
How versatile the studio is. Easy and quick to use and set up.
So easy from purchase to delivery to follow up.
Great quality product. Really versatile. I follow Ben on YouTube for project ideas.
I just wonder if you may create warm white light as I sometimes find the white light arms pretty cold , just an idea though 🙂
I love the UV lamps, still practicing to get my camera settings right though.
2 photos I’ve taken so far, a UV flower and a still life called ‘a grate family photo’ 😁
Andrea Maloney
Super
It really is super. It’s compact and easy to use. The light it produces is beautiful and easy to manage. I do a lot of petal portraits and this really helps to reveal their hidden beauty and personality. It really is an incredible value.
Dennis
I Love the Adaptalux Approach to Macro Lighting
My workspace is quite small and I don’t have room for lighting stands and sophisticated lighting equipment. The Adaptalux Studio will work nicely in my limited space.
I received the Adaptalux Studio about 3 weeks ago and so far, I have performed a couple of test shoots with flowers to become familiar with the operation of the equipment. I am very pleased with the results and I look forward to some fun springtime macro and closeup photography with flowers and other nature subjects.
I have had several questions for Adaptalux support, and I have been quite impressed with their response time and the quality of the responses.
