Our Story

It started at 5am, in a pitch-black toolbox.

One cold Austin morning, one phone flashlight clenched between the teeth, and one contractor who'd finally had enough. This is how LumoLux was born.

The moment

Every contractor knows the feeling.

It's dark. It's early. You're digging through a black hole of a toolbox with your phone flashlight jammed between your teeth — one hand free, swearing under your breath because you still can't find the one thing you need.

Nick Jones did it a thousand times. Until one freezing morning on a Austin job site, he stopped and thought: there has to be a better way than this.

Who

Meet Nick.

Nick's a builder — born and bred in Austin. Years on the job, from sparrow's-fart starts to knock-offs well after dark, across every kind of truck, truck cap and trailer you can think of.

He's not a lighting engineer. He's not some big-brand exec in a boardroom. He's a contractor who got sick of working in the dark — and decided to do something about it himself.

The build

So he built the light he wished he had.

Nick wanted something simple: bright enough to flood the whole toolbox, tough enough for the back of a work truck, and smart enough to run off the batteries already in his kit — no wiring, no electrician, no wall power.

He couldn't buy it anywhere. So he made it. Countless late nights in the shed, a stack of prototypes and a few blown fuses later — LumoLux was real.

After years of juggling my phone flashlight through a pitch-black toolbox at 5am, I'd had enough. I wanted a light that clipped straight onto the batteries already in my kit and lit the whole box. I couldn't find one — so I built it. That's LumoLux.
