The system consists of a control pod, LED arms, and a number of attachable effect components and is currently vying for funding on Kickstarter.

At the core of the Adaptalux setup is the control pod, a battery-powered command center for the system which the LED lighting arms are connected into using a patent-pending magnetic connector. The unit automatically detects how many lighting arms out of a possible five are connected, and three buttons on the unit can then be used to independently control the brightness of the LED lights.

The control pod can deliver 2.5 hours of use on a single charge (three lights at 50 percent power) or be directly powered from USB via computer or mains. It pulses the LEDs independently at 4 million times a second to deliver accurate brightness control, while maximizing battery life. A standard tripod thread on the bottom of the unit means it can easily be mounted in a number of ways.
