Bought a Control POD 3.0 kit at the NEC earlier this year and have had great fun. Macro work needs precise lighting, often from multiple angles and this certainly delivers.

The app works very well giving full control without having to touch the setup which means nothing moves as you change settings.

Just bought a couple of POD Mini 2s to play with, not had a chance yet but I’ve no doubt they’ll be every bit as useful.

The UV lights at 365nm are a great wavelength for doing UV photography. Seems like it is necessary to push to 100% brightness and boost mode helps, yet I appreciate how much control there is in narrowing down the beam to focus the light points.

I love the lights. They are great that you can change the diffusers on the end of the lights and change the entire look of my shots.

I purchased a white LED macro starter pack. Well made, excellent product, well thought through and performs really well. Now that I am happy with the starter pack I will be adding to it very soon.

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.

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

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.

The White Lighting arm with the pod is very useful for my macro photography. The flex cable is good and stays in position.
The only gripe and not getting 5 stars is that the light occasionaly flickers when adjusting the arm.  Other than that is a good product.

I am relatively new to Adaptalux. I bought a Pod mini pack at the Photography Show in 2024. One of my Pod minis suddenly stopped charging. Having tried all the tricks in the troubleshooting section, I contacted Adaptalux support via email, and within a few minutes help was on the line with solutions to try, that unfortunately were unsuccessful. I was asked to return my Pod mini for repair as soon as possible. Having done so, and a couple of days later I received an email telling me that a new pod mini was on its way. Now that is what I call great support. Absolutely first class service!

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.

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 have now had the Adaptalux system for a few months and can now write an honest review. I see two advantages to this system: the very precise positioning of the light thanks to the arms, and total control over the brightness/diffusion of the light thanks to the Bluetooth Control Pod 3.0 and the different filters/diffusers.
I only encountered one problem where the pod stopped working, but I was able to fix it by using the reset button on the pod itself.
I just noticed that the Android version (as of today) has slightly fewer features than the iOS app: it doesn’t let me select the magnetic filter I added to the arm, but that’s just a detail.
Overall, it’s a very good product.

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.

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 .

I would like to express my thanks to Sam in that there was a mix up in my order. Sam was gracious to correct the issue in a timely manner and I am grateful to him. I have had limited time to work with my studio but I look forward to carving out sometime to do some shoots with the continuous light set up.

I just received the package with the lighting arms and I am thrilled. The products are very well made with excellent quality and a very careful packaging that came all the way to Greece. Their use is very easy and simple and with the help of the application it helps you create very beautiful shots in the world of macro photography. The only negative is that you want to buy everything.
I will definitely make another purchase soon.
Thank you Sam and Ben and the team at 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. 😊

Recently, I began dabbling in macrophotography, especially with Baltic amber. I was looking for a controllable UV source and decided to try Adaptalux. The arms are fairly malleable, allowing me to point the source for creative lighting. The control pod and app are easy to use, and the overall usability is greatly improved compared to my previous method of using a UV flashlight. My setup in general is not very portable but that’s likely something I may focus on in the future. I am still learning, and it is quite possible that I have yet to fully understand all the nuances, but for a start, I am quite happy with this product.
