/əˈdapt’əˈlʌks/
Noun
Adaptable photography lighting. Premium aesthetic and technical design for practical applications in the studio or field.
A lot has happened since we opened our doors in 2015 with our first successful kickstarter. Working mostly alone and from his garage, our founder Samuel Granger brought the Adaptalux Studio to life to solve the problem of lighting macro photographs – an issue Sam was dealing with in his own photography endeavors.
Since then we have continued to 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. We are thankful for the support of each and every one of our customers as we couldn’t make these awesome products without you!
