LED Stem Lights & Long Arm Display Lights for Trade Show Booths – BOOTH LIGHTS
LED Stem Lights & Long Arm Display Lights
LED stem lights — also called long arm display lights or extended arm booth lights — are fixtures with a longer arm or stem that positions the LED head further from the mounting point. This extended reach is essential when lighting tall backwalls, wide display panels, or products placed at a distance from the booth frame.
BOOTH LIGHTS long arm display lights are ETL-certified for North America and CE-certified for Europe, with universal 100–240V input for global use.
When Do You Need a Long Arm Display Light?
A standard arm light (30–40 cm arm) works well for most inline booth configurations. A long arm or stem light is the better choice when:
- Your backwall or display panel is wider than 1m and requires light from a greater horizontal distance
- You are lighting a tall display (over 2.5m) and need the arm to clear the top rail
- Products are placed on deep shelves or counters that a short arm cannot reach over
- You want to reduce shadows on large-format graphics by moving the light source further away
- Your booth frame profile is recessed and a longer arm is needed to clear the structure

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between a stem light and an arm light?
A: The terms are often used interchangeably. “Stem light” typically refers to a fixture with a straight vertical or angled stem, while “arm light” implies a jointed or flexible arm. Both serve the same purpose — positioning an LED head at a distance from the mounting clamp.
Q: How long is a long arm display light?
A: BOOTH LIGHTS long arm models have arms ranging from 50 to 80 cm, compared to 30–40 cm on standard models. The longer arm provides greater reach and better shadow control on wide display panels.
Q: Can long arm lights be daisy-chained?
A: Yes. All BOOTH LIGHTS linkable models — including long arm versions — support daisy-chain connections for multi-fixture runs from a single outlet.
Q: Are long arm display lights heavier to transport?
A: Slightly. The longer arm adds minimal weight. Most long arm models weigh under 800g per fixture and pack flat for transport in a carry case or standard luggage.
Q: What wattage do I need for a long arm light on a 10x10 booth?
A: 21W is sufficient for most 10x10 configurations. If your booth is in a high-ambient-light hall or you are displaying high-value products (jewelry, automotive), consider 25W or 50W.
