Adaptalux started out as a Product Design University project, inspired and driven by the lighting challenges our founder, Sam Granger, faced with his own macro photography endeavors. He then worked mostly alone from his parents garage, bringing the Adaptalux product range to life before launching a sucessful Kickstarter campaign in 2015, which enabled him to turn it into a design and manufacturing company.
Since then, we have continued to grow and improve our LED photography lighting range, introduce Xenon flash, and set in motion many future (top secret) developments to expand our horizons!
We are a small UK based company and we pride ourselves on being able to produce premium quality products for our worldwide customer base. All of the AdaptaluxΒ products are designed by Sam, and Assembled in the UK.
We are thankful for the support of each and every one of our customers as we couldn’t make these awesome products without you!
