The Adaptalux LED Lighting Arms provide a dynamic and tactile light source to your Adaptalux Studio macro lighting setup.
The Super Bright Arm is the brightest arm possible. It comes with a built-in lens that focuses into a narrow beam, making better use of the powerful LED light.
This variation of the white lighting arm is brighter, but has a more narrow beam, making it better suited to smaller subjects and situations that require more light in a smaller area. It can still be diffused to scatter the light if required.
Using our patented magnetic connection system, the arm plugs seamlessly into the ports of an Adaptalux Pod and illuminate automatically at 50% Brightness.
Use with all types of Pod and activate Boost mode for extra brightness and the best settings for your subject!
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.
Customer reviews for Super Bright LED Lighting Arm
Great products and service
The Pod Minis and lighting arms are nice and compact and light weight. Ideal for macro photography in the field if you need to keep the weight down of the equipment that you’re carrying. I photograph fungi and often the natural lighting conditions are poor, so having some additional light sources can really help bring a scene to life. Recommended to any macro photographer.

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
Definitely a game-changer
The Adaptalux studio lighting system is a great addition to my macro photography setup. It gives me great versatility thanks to its flexible lighting arms, and it allows me to explore different ways of seeing the subjects I photograph thanks to its UV lighting arms. Without a doubt, it’s one of the best investments I’ve made in my photography gear.

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 .
Herb
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
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

roberto
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
many options for lighting
Very good product I am very happy with it. It will be my production setup.
Slawomir

My Iris Photography LED Lighting Pack is ideal for my new Iris photography setup, And will be a great addition to my other photography ideas

Expand Your Creative Horizons…
The Adaptalux Studio has enabled me to take my creativity to another level. The UV Arms in particular have taken me down a new path in my photographic journey. One of my favorite sayings is “in the right light, even the ordinary can look extraordinary’ – the Adaptalux Studio helps make this all possible.

Ergonomie flexibilité précis magnifique
Système super adaptable ergonomique flexible
Permet la réalisation d’une mise en lumière précise et juste
La flexibilité et l’ergonomie permettent de pouvoir transporter le système dans un faible volume
Je ne quitte plus le système il m’accompagne dans toutes mes sorties macro
Les lumières ont une balance des blancs juste et précise
J’adore ce système
jerome
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
Flexibility
Amazing flexibility for macro lighting control. One of the finest systems available, perhaps the best.
John
Fantastic

Carla
Very versatile lighting Macro Photography
Firstly I would like to say how well built the pod/arms are. They feel premium quality to the touch. The Bluetooth connection with the mobile phone also works very well. I recently tried one of the very professional videos on how to utilise the lighting system etc. (the spinning ring one) and was impressed by the colouring I got from just one Bright White and Amber light. Hoping to buy more to expand my macro photography.
Luciano Coppola
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
Adaptalux perfect for irises
I bought the adaptalux kit mainly to take iris photos and I’m completely satisfied. The system with the Android application works perfectly, the boost mode is a real plus and it’s very easy to use.
Garves Sébastien
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
good quality of lighting
That was really interesting in using pod 3.0.
You will find your own way to exam your idea and creative.
Violette
A world of light and fun awaits
Hi guys, after watching many of Ben’s YouTube tutorials for quite a while, I bought a pack of lighting equipment and found them to be of very good quality in both design and manufacturing. Haven’t had much time to use them but found them a little tricky at first but getting used to them, learning to get them in close enough to the subject and can see endless opportunities to capture macro abstracts. I found the controller wheel a little fiddly so pleased that you have put the controls on an app, however wouldn’t work on my mobile android poss a screen protector issue as it works brilliantly on my iPad. Now the seasons are changing hopefully plenty of fun to be had with the various set ups.
Mike
UV lights were an eye opener
I recently bought a bunch of Adaptalux lighting – and threw in a set of UV arms cause I thought ‘I’m here now, might as well’. And turns out they are just really nice tools! I’ve been taking awesome new pictures and am completely revitalised for flower photography!
Cas
Improvement
In the 4 years since my original purchase, I’ve seen the time and commitment you’ve put into these products. I originally bought the 5 arm control unit, you kindly repaired the power connection. Forward several years and I needed just a kiss of light in a series of photos and I returned to your site. The single arm control pod is perfect! The USB connection is greatly improved and my 4 year old arms continue to function perfectly! Thank you for your innovation and commitment to this amazing line of products!
Erik
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
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
Beautiful Eerie Images with UV Arms
Love my flower results with UV lighting arms. Only thing I had to correct: should have gotten 3 rather than just 2 UV arms.
Marlyn
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
Very much satisfied with LED lighting & S-Arm
It gives daylight colour temperature, easy to use. Light intensity can be adjusted from mobile app. It is must for macro photography in my opinion. Very much satisfied with the product
Saurabh Bhattacharyya
Compact, Portable, Perfect for Travel
Recently purchased. Still getting used to using the components. I am looking to develop my skills doing iris photography. Enjoying the portability and ease of use.
Juan
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
Very versatile lighting
I haven’t had a lot of opportunity to use the Adaptalux Studio that I purchased; however, the little I have used it, it seems to be a very versatile & easy set up. The pod and arms seem very well made. I plan on expanding my set up in the near future with some more lights, so I would definitely recommend it. Overall, I am very pleased with the product.
Patty
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
Clever bit of kit
Enjoying using my recent purchase and the uv arms open new possibilities to macro photography.Very clever
John
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
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
It opens me up to be more creative
I purchased a basic built my own set with four arms. I shoot mostly weddings and was looking for lighting my macro ring shots. This system certainly opened me up to many creative options.
It’s easy to use and the results are fantastic.
Fast shipping
Great customer service
Michael
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
Excellent product
The Adaptalux studio lights and filters do exactly what they promise and give great results. And I’m a big fan of their YouTube videos giving lots of tips for new macro subjects and techniques. Their customer support is also rapid and effective. Maybe a small company but perfectly formed!
