Sleek aluminum frame with 360-degree arm rotation and 30-degree tilt adjustment for turntable compatibility.
18 LEDs with adjustable color temperature, brightness levels, and segmented intensity control.
Powered via USB-C and includes a compact IR remote with magnetic recharging.
Sometimes the right lighting helps transform a simple turntable setup into a refined home for the vinyl signal chain. The UberLight Frame from Reliable draws on sleek aesthetics and subtle functionality, presenting a premium solution for those seeking a more elevated listening environment.
The cast aluminum frame arrives with three mounting options: a freestanding weight, a desk mount with screws, and a shelf-mount bracket. Once attached, the arm rotates a full 360 degrees when slipped onto an open spindle. A helpful 30-degree tilt adjustment ensures compatibility with turntable lids of different shapes and sizes while keeping the overall design minimal.
Lighting comes from 18 LEDs housed beneath a tiltable plastic casing, with a touch-sensitive top panel for power switching and dual control of color temperature (three settings) and brightness (six levels). Output can reach up to 500 lumens, and the 18 LEDs are subdivided into six zones that can be toggled in groups of three to tailor the intensity. Power is supplied via a 5V USB-C adapter, and the design prioritizes ease of use and durability in equal measure.
A compact IR remote—complete with a small built-in torch—handles on/off, color temperature, and brightness from a distance, though it can be slightly particular about line of sight. The remote magnetically clips to the underside of the lamp for recharging. Priced at €499 and available in black or white, the UberLight Frame offers a stylish, high-quality answer to those looking to illuminate their decks with precision.
