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.

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 .

After years of lighting my macro shots with natural light or flash, I came across Daniel Aucoin’s videos, in which he uses Adaptalux. Adaptalux LED lighting has significantly increased my creativity. I enjoy sitting in front of small subjects such as mushrooms for half an hour or more, playing around with the lighting. The ability to control the light with my mobile phone is also brilliant – I can check the lighting in the viewfinder without accidentally moving the lamps! I currently use the Control Pod 3.0 and three white LED Lighting Arms.

When I first saw an Adaptalux video on YouTube, I thought this would be a good occasion to reconnect with macro photo.

So I bought a pod 3, a few lighting arms (including UV, I have a full spectrum camera, so that’s B&W pictures, works somehow as the white lightning arms in « normal » photography). I was amazed by the quality of the packaging.

In a month, I didn’t have time enough to shoot a lot (actually quite bad weather …), and, although I am still learning how to master the light with this new equipment, I already have other ideas (moss and fungis), and bought a xenon flash and pod mini, which came with the same perfect packaging.

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.

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

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.

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.

I started with the mini pods and lighting arms for lightweight easy additional lighting. However then purchased the main pod and the brighter lighting arms which provide that extra detailed focus of light. Great effects. I’m impressed with the products and excellent customer service. Looking forward to the new flash arms when they come out.

In fairness since receiving my kit I have not had the time to give it the justice it deserves (partly due to recently completing a very complex desktop publishing project, in between regular hospital visits for cancer treatment).

However the tests I have done show the future potential of the lighting system admirably. being able to accurately position the continuous lights and selectively control individual light output via the app is fantastic.

I am sure my initial kit will be complemented in future as I gain more experience of Adaptalux Studio in a macro rig environment.
