Founder & Lead Product Engineer, Vidalux

Andrew Ellis is the founder and technical architect of Vidalux, the UK’s leading home spa and wellness brand. With a career built on the front lines of the industry—from initial product design and manufacturing to installation and long-term technical support—Andrew has spent over a decade dismantling the “luxury hype” to focus on what actually matters: engineering, reliability, and real-world results.

Driven by an “Engineering-First” philosophy, Andrew founded Vidalux to solve the common failures of the home spa industry—poor build quality, overpriced wellness and gimmicks that look good in brochures but fail in bathrooms. He is the mind behind industry-leading innovations such as Complete Heat sauna technology, hybrid saunas and rot-free outdoor unit designs, that many other manufacturers have tried to imitate since Vidalux brought them to market.

Under Andrew’s leadership, Vidalux has grown into a trusted partner for national retailers like Costco and B&Q, earned through a steadfast commitment to transparency and technical truth. Whether he is consulting on a complex commercial project or writing a guide on the therapeutic benefits of infrared therapy, Andrew’s goal remains the same: making gym-quality wellness accessible, honest, and dependable for every UK home.

  • Interior view of a two-person Vidalux indoor infrared sauna installed within a neutral domestic room. The camera is positioned slightly off-centre, looking through the open glass door panels into the cabin. A narrow vertical column of white headline text appears on the left over a softly lit interior wall, while the sauna occupies the right two-thirds of the frame. Inside the cabin, Canadian hemlock timber lines the walls, ceiling, and bench in horizontal planks. The layout is symmetrical within the cabin itself, with four vertical arrays of full-spectrum carbon fibre ruby quartz heaters mounted on the back wall behind the seating position. Each heater array is enclosed in a dark protective grille and arranged in two vertical columns, evenly spaced from top to bottom. Curved wooden headrest supports are positioned above the heater arrays. Both side walls contain large, dark nano-carbon heating panels set within timber frames. These panels are rectangular and mounted vertically, covering most of the wall height to provide wide surface-area coverage. The bench spans the width of the cabin, with open floor space beneath. The internal lighting emits a controlled warm glow, illuminating the timber grain and heater placement without visible glare or theatrical effects. The image visually reinforces the article’s explanation of balanced heater combination, showing both wall-mounted nano-carbon panels and centrally positioned full-spectrum backrest heaters within one integrated system.
