| In 1989, two innovative guys were experimenting with underwater lighting systems in a garage in Monterey, California. These guys are dive enthusiasts…and they’re Stanford graduates, need we say more? Looking for a way to express their genius, Michael Topolovac and Barrett Heywood began developing some of the most powerful lights ever used underwater. Michael also has passion for underwater imaging, so why not design underwater video housings, in addition to fantastic lighting? There was no stopping them. They built a vertically integrated manufacturing company that created the most innovative world-class products in underwater video and photo. |
| By 1991, the company was shipping underwater video systems worldwide and had expanded into a 16,500 square-foot renovated sardine cannery overlooking Monterey Bay. Now, you may wonder where bike lights fit into this picture. |
| Circling back to the two guys from Stanford…in 1996, being men in need of challenge, they asked the question “why waste time sleeping when we could be taking this even further?” They found opportunity on the single track of the Laguna Seca hills. With 24-hour racing on the increase, Light & Motion brought their lighting expertise and spirit to the world of cycling. |
| Light & Motion continues to break ground with some of the most sophisticated, technically evolved products to hit the market. As an active part of our community, we buy many of our parts from local businesses. We continue to design and build our lights here in the cannery. When you buy our light systems you will be rewarded with a product that boasts the lowest warranty rate in the industry. And you will be contributing to a business that’s doing it’s very best to be a progressive force in our community and in the industry. |
| After a decade of successfully designing and building innovative products we recognize the need to give back. Light & Motion has received many awards for conservation, preservation and community involvement. Over 65 percent of the Light & Motion staff commutes via alternative transportation and 25 percent bike to work. |
Your support means a great deal to us. Thank you.
