UberLight Flex record player light
We think
The UBERLIGHT FLEX is far more than just a conventional turntable light—it's a precision tool for every vinyl fan who wants to not only see, but also work in a decoupled and interference-free environment. With its flexible light, it provides optimal lighting conditions directly above the turntable, without reflections or electrical interference. A pleasant device that's not only practical, but also stylish and well-thought-out.
Product presentation
The UBERLIGHT FLEX is an LED task lamp designed for use at turntables or in other hi-fi environments where light is needed precisely where hearing aids work. The lamp offers nine light modes, with three brightness levels (2 W, 4 W, 6 W) and three color temperatures (2700 K "warm white," 4000 K "neutral white," 6000 K "cool white") – ideal for clearly visualizing groove information or cartridge details.
The gooseneck is approximately 26.5 inches long and completely flexible, allowing it to hold virtually any shape. The lamp head itself can be rotated 270°. The LEDs have a lifespan of approximately 60,000 hours.
Mounting options include a clamp mount (C-Clamp) or a base mount , allowing flexibility in placement.
Special features
Variety of light modes – nine light settings make the FLEX ideal for different brightness and color moods.
Flexible silicone neck structure – the neck can be shaped into almost any desired position, remains dimensionally stable and is low-vibration.
Head rotation – rotates 270° to direct light directly onto the record groove or cartridge.
Flicker-free LEDs, good color rendering – LEDs deliver up to 600 lumens and a CRI value of over 80, enabling more precise color representation.
USB power supply / universal connection – flexible use, e.g., with power banks or USB power adapters.
Minimalist, functional design – the lamp is visually understated and focuses on its task.
Technology & Materials
The housing and lamp head are made of metal and plastic components, carefully crafted to balance weight and stability. The flexible neck is covered with silicone to ensure grip and shape stability.
The electronics utilize high-quality LED chips paired with suitable drivers to produce flicker-free light. The internal circuit paths are routed to minimize electrical interference.
The LED technology is designed efficiently to ensure cool operation even at maximum brightness.
Sustainability & Manufacturing
The UBERLIGHT FLEX is robustly constructed and designed for long-term use. Spare parts such as LED modules, clamps, and cables are included, ensuring the lamp doesn't become a disposable product. Materials, manufacturing, and mechanical components are selected to ensure durability even with regular use for years.

Test reports / press reviews
AnalogPlanet reports:
"The LED lights have nine light settings, with adjustable brightness and color temperature. The neck is very flexible and retains its shape, and the head can be rotated. Ideal for revealing details on a record."
The Audiophile Man says:
"The body is rigid, doesn't move unintentionally, and the material doesn't create resonances... the technology behind the lamp is stable and well thought out."
Background / History / Development
The UBERLIGHT FLEX is part of Reliable Corporation's UberLight series, which specializes in high-quality lighting solutions specifically for sensitive hi-fi environments. The Flex version was an early version, designed for maximum adaptability and universal use, before the FRAME model appeared, featuring a fixed structure and expanded functionality.
Basic knowledge
CRI (Color Rendering Index): A measure of how natural colors appear under a light source. A CRI value above 80 is considered a good standard for accurate vision.
Flicker-free LEDs: Important to avoid eye strain and reduce image distortion during precision mechanical work.
Flexible gooseneck lamps: Offer adjustment options for different setups – ideal for variable turntable heights and room layouts.
Safety instructions
Electronic devices:
1. General Use: • Electronic devices are designed for use in enclosed, dry rooms only. Direct sunlight, moisture, and extreme temperatures may impair function. • Avoid proximity to water sources or other liquids. 2. Electrical Safety: • Use only with the specified power source (e.g., 220-240 V AC). An incorrect power source may damage the device or be hazardous. • Never connect the device to overloaded outlets or extension cords. • If there is any visible damage to the power cord or other components, do not operate the device. 3. Operation and Ventilation: • Place the device on a stable, flat surface. Do not block any ventilation slots to prevent overheating. • Ensure sufficient distance from other devices or walls (at least 10 cm) to ensure optimal ventilation. 4. Children and Pets: • Keep the device away from children and pets, especially small parts that could be swallowed.
Speakers:
1. Setup: • Place speakers on a stable and secure surface or use suitable speaker stands. Tipping over may cause injury or damage. • Position speakers so they are not obstructed and optimal sound dispersion is ensured. 2. Environmental Conditions: • Speakers are intended for use in dry, enclosed spaces. Avoid moisture and direct sunlight, which could damage materials or electronics. 3. Connections: • Use only compatible amplifiers and cables that meet the speaker's technical specifications. • Avoid incorrect polarity connections to prevent damage to the speaker or amplifier. 4. Children and Pets: • Speakers are not toys. Make sure they are placed out of reach of children and pets. 5. Care: • Clean the surface with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use chemical cleaners or water.
Cable:
1. Use: • Cables are for their intended use only. Use them only with devices that meet the cable's technical specifications. • Ensure that all connections are secure and tight for optimum performance. 2. Handling: • Never pull on the cable to remove it from a device. Always hold the plug firmly. • Do not bend, overstretch, or place excessive strain on the cable. Cables should not run under heavy objects. 3. Children and Pets: • Keep cables away from children and pets as they can be a strangulation or injury hazard. 4. Inspection: • Check cables regularly for visible damage such as breaks, cracks, or frayed ends. Damaged cables must be replaced immediately.
Accesories:
1. Use: • Accessories such as adapters, mounts or cleaning utensils must only be used for their intended purpose. Incorrect use can cause damage. 2. Care: • Clean accessories only according to the manufacturer's instructions. Avoid harsh cleaning agents or use in damp environments. 3. Safety: • Ensure accessories are correctly fitted or connected to prevent accidents or malfunctions. 4.
