An exhibition arm light needs more than the right light output: it also needs the right connection to your display. BOOTH LIGHTS trade show arm lights can be configured with a range of rear handles, mounting bases and fixing accessories, helping buyers match the lighting to different booth structures.
This photo guide shows the variety of available designs and explains how to choose a configuration for your project. Start with the display frame and the arm light model, then ask our customer service team to confirm the matching handle and mounting accessory.
7 rear mounting styles for trade show arm lights
The rear handle or base connects the light arm to the supporting structure. Some designs also incorporate the LED driver, power inlet or switch. Our range includes aluminium rear handles, screw-clamp assemblies, compact rear bases and housings with an integrated driver.

Rear handle and base examples. The correct version depends on the selected arm light and installation. Ask customer service to confirm the configuration; similar appearance does not establish compatibility.
Exhibition light clamps and adapters: 12 accessory designs
The display light mounting accessory is the part that grips, clips onto or slides into the display structure. The examples below show different ways to connect an arm light base to a suitable frame or profile: adjustable screw clamps, profile clips, slot plates, slide blocks and direction-specific adapters.
A matching rear handle can be supplied with a suitable fixing accessory for the intended installation. The available combination depends on the selected light, handle interface and frame dimensions. The illustrated parts are options to discuss with us, rather than a set automatically included with every light.
1. Metal screw clamp
A metal clamp with an adjustable screw and contact pad.
2. Aluminium profile clip
A shaped clip for a matching aluminium profile.
3. Flat slot plate
A plate-style adapter with a profiled mounting interface.
4. Tall slide block
A raised block for a matching slide interface.
5. Hooked profile clip
A profile clip with a projecting hook feature.
6. Low-profile slide block
A shallow block with a slot interface.
7. Clear plastic clamp
A transparent clamp body with a screw fixing.
8. T-shaped slide blocks
T-shaped adapter examples in different finishes.
9. White screw clamp
A screw-tightened clamp with an adjustable opening.
10. Stepped slide adapter
A stepped adapter for a matching profile connection.
11. Forward slide adapter
A slide adapter in a forward-facing configuration.
12. Reverse slide adapter
A slide adapter in an alternative, reverse-facing configuration.
Fixing accessory examples. Clamp opening, groove geometry, mounting direction and the handle interface must match. The numbers identify photos in this guide only. Please consult customer service for compatibility and what is included in your order.
One rear base, different mounting possibilities
This rear base illustrates how a handle design can be paired with different fixing accessories for suitable display structures. The accessory is selected for the actual frame and installation; the photo does not imply that every illustrated accessory fits every rear base.
Choosing display light mounts for panels, SEG frames and pop-up stands
Send us the structure details first. A mounting part that looks similar may still have a different slot width, engagement depth, clamping range or fixing direction. The following questions help identify the right arm light mounting option.
| Your display structure | Options to discuss | What to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| A panel edge or rectangular frame member | An adjustable panel clamp or screw clamp | Member thickness, jaw opening, contact area and whether the structure can support the light. |
| An aluminium profile or SEG display frame | A profile clip, slot plate, slide block or T-shaped mounting adapter | A clear profile cross-section, groove dimensions, fixing position and the matching rear handle. |
| A pop-up display frame | A forward or reverse pop-up frame adapter | Frame design, mounting direction and the exact light-base connection. |
| A portable banner display | A dedicated banner adapter where the model supports it | The top-bar or bracket design, adapter fit and whether the stand is suitable for the installation. |
The structure alone does not determine compatibility. The frame, rear handle, fixing accessory and arm light must be assessed as one configuration. Check the supplied mounting instructions and any venue requirements for your installation.
Arm Light Mounting Brackets, Clamps and Adapter Examples
See how arm light mounting brackets, exhibition light clamps and display adapters connect to different structures. Each row is a separate configuration for a matching rear base. Choose the example confirmed for your light model and display frame.
Each set shows a separate mounting example. View the drawings in reading order: the accessory, its connection or assembled state, and its application on a display structure. Some intermediate fixing steps are omitted. These are mounting illustrations, not a complete installation manual or a statement of dimensions, tightening torque or load capacity. Follow the instructions supplied for your confirmed configuration.
Select any diagram to open the full-size illustration.
Dual M8 Bolt-Fix Bracket
For SEG light box mounting where a fixed, two-point M8 connection matches the frame and light base.
- The first view identifies the bracket and its two fixing positions.
- The next view shows the bracket fixed to the support before the light is attached.
- The final views show the matching rear base positioned on the bracket and the mounted light.
Confirm M8 fasteners, hole spacing, profile clearance and the light-base interface. Included fasteners must be checked for the selected order.
M8 Sliding Block for Profile Mounting
Creates a repositionable M8 mounting point inside a matching SEG or exhibition-frame aluminium channel.
- The first view identifies the sliding block.
- The middle views show its relationship to the matching rear light base.
- The end view illustrates the assembled light on a suitable profile. The block-entry method is profile-specific.
Confirm the channel opening, internal width and depth, block retention and light-side M8 connection. A similar-looking groove alone does not establish fit.
Adjustable Clamp for Square or Rectangular Supports
A flat-contact screw clamp for matching square or rectangular display-frame members, crossbars or panel edges.
- The first view shows the adjustable screw and flat contact surfaces.
- The middle views illustrate the clamp connected to the matching rear base.
- The final view shows the assembled clamp gripping a rectangular support.
The listed clamping dimension is up to 31 mm, referring to the dimension gripped by the jaws. Confirm the profile shape and light-base interface.
Aluminium C-Clamp
A screw clamp for suitable booth-frame members, panels, crossbars or tubes; the illustrated example uses a tubular support.
- The first view shows the C-clamp and adjustment screw.
- The middle views show the clamp paired with the matching rear base.
- The end view illustrates the light-and-clamp assembly on a tubular support.
The listed maximum frame depth is 55 mm. This is not a tube-diameter guarantee; support shape, contact area and the light-base connection must also match.
Standard Pop-Up Display Light Adapter
One of our pop-up display light adapters for connecting a matching arm light base to a compatible scissor-frame brace or support.
- The first view identifies the standard adapter geometry.
- The middle views show the adapter paired with the matching rear base.
- The final view illustrates the standard-orientation assembly on a pop-up display structure.
Confirm the clip geometry, frame connection, rear-base interface and required orientation. Standard and reverse adapters are separate parts.
Reverse Pop-Up Display Light Adapter
For a matching pop-up or scissor-frame assembly that requires the reverse mounting profile and orientation.
- The first view identifies the reverse adapter geometry.
- The middle views show the adapter fitted to the matching rear base in the illustrated orientation.
- The end view shows the reverse-orientation assembly on a pop-up display structure.
Match the reverse profile, frame connection and installation clearance. Turning the standard adapter around does not establish an equivalent fit.
Banner Stand Light Mount Adapter
For banner stand light mounts with a matching light-side T-slot channel and support-side plug-in mounting pin connection.
- The first view shows the T-shaped sliding base and projecting mounting pin.
- The assembled example shows the pin projecting below the matching light base; the intermediate attachment details are not fully shown.
- The final views illustrate the pin aligned with a compatible display upright and the mounted configuration.
Confirm the light-channel geometry, support-side pin dimensions and intended retention method. The pin does not fit every banner stand.
Clear Plastic Clamp Example
A visual example of a clear clamp connecting an arm light rear base to a tubular support. Ask customer service about suitability and availability.
- The first view shows the separate clear clamp body.
- The middle views illustrate the clamp positioned under the rear light base.
- The end view shows the illustrated assembly on a tubular support.
Availability and compatibility must be confirmed with customer service for the specific light, rear base and support.

Arm light handle and mounting FAQ
Can every handle be used with every mounting accessory?
No. The photos show the variety of configuration options across our range, not universal interchangeability. The light model, rear-handle interface, frame dimensions and fixing direction must match. Please consult BOOTH LIGHTS customer service for the specific compatible configuration.
Are all the pictured accessories included with an arm light?
No. The included mounting parts depend on the product and the configuration ordered. Check the product page and ask us to confirm the included parts when requesting an alternative handle or accessory.
Can I choose a different rear handle or base for my display?
Ask us about the options for your selected arm light. We will check the mechanical connection, mounting accessory and electrical arrangement before confirming a suitable configuration.
Can I use a slide block on any SEG frame?
No. SEG frames can have different profile and slot geometries. Send a profile cross-section, groove dimensions and a photo of the mounting position so we can assess the matching adapter.
Can I order replacement clamps or adapters?
Contact us with a photo of the existing light base, the mounting part and the frame. We will confirm the matching accessory and availability before you order.
