Overview
Light & Motion is a Monterey, California-based manufacturer of underwater camera housings, video lights, and optics. Founded in 1989 by Barrett Heywood and Michael Topolovac, the company began by experimenting with underwater lighting systems before expanding into a vertically integrated manufacturing operation producing housings, lights, and lenses for underwater imaging ([1]). The company’s website was originally uwimaging.com, later transitioning to lightandmotion.com ([2]).
Light & Motion was among the earliest companies to embrace digital underwater photography. At DEMA 2001, they were one of only a handful of manufacturers with digital housing products, alongside Ikelite and Sea & Sea ([3]). The company was headquartered at 300 Cannery Row in Monterey, where they maintained their design and manufacturing facility, and later relocated production to Marina, California ([4], [5]).
Beyond underwater imaging, Light & Motion also established a cycling light division beginning in 1999, leveraging their LED expertise from underwater applications into the bicycle market ([6]). The company was recognized by the US Congress, California State Assembly, and AMBAG for environmental stewardship, receiving multiple awards including the California Small Business of the Year Award (2008), Cool California Award (2011, 2012), and five consecutive Waste Reduction Awards Program (WRAP) awards ([7], [8]).

Technology and Innovation
ROC Strobe Controller
The ROC (Remote Optical Controller) was Light & Motion’s signature innovation for still camera housings. First introduced with the Tetra housing line, the ROC allowed users to obtain up to 12 manual power levels on most TTL-compatible strobes without requiring electrical connections through the housing ([24]). Later versions incorporated a “double flash exposure system” that monitored and duplicated the camera’s pre-flash and actual flash sequence for more accurate strobe exposure ([25]). The ROC was incorporated across the entire housing line, from the compact Tetra to the professional Titan series ([26]).
Smart Grip Handles
Light & Motion housings featured electronic “Smart Grip” handles that used non-penetrating infrared (IR) transmitters and receivers to control camera functions. This eliminated through-hole mechanical controls, reducing the risk of flooding. Camera controls for shutter, aperture, autofocus, and strobe power were all accessible from the handles without moving one’s hands ([27], [28]). The Titan D200 moved controls to the housing body while retaining electronic operation ([29]).
Sealed Electronics
The company designed its electronics to be sealed and water-resistant, so that in the event of a housing flood, the electronic components could survive. The Titan D200 featured sealed and user-replaceable electronics ([30]). However, Drew Wong raised concerns in 2005 about exposed circuit boards being “the Achilles heel” of L&M housings ([31]).
Factory-Sealed Lights
Beginning with the SOLA series, Light & Motion pioneered the factory-sealed light design for underwater use. The SOLA lights never needed to be opened by the user; they were charged through external gold-plated connectors and controlled via a lockable magnetic switch, virtually eliminating the risk of flooding ([32], [33]).

Eric Cheng tested these lights at DEMA 2007 and found the instant on/off and approximately double brightness versus HIDs to be impressive. Dan Baldocchi and Berkley White confirmed the brightness measurements with light meters ([79]).
SOLA LED Lights (2010–present)
The SOLA series became Light & Motion’s signature product line, revolutionizing the underwater focus light and video light market with compact, factory-sealed, rechargeable LED lights.
-
SOLA 600 — The original SOLA. Announced May 2010. 679-lumen output with 6 white LEDs (3 levels) and 4 red LEDs (225 lumens). 75-degree beam, 75-minute burn time at full power. Factory-sealed with magnetic bump switch and gold-plated charging contacts. Only 245g. $579 retail ([80]). Received a glowing review from Alex Mustard, who called it his “favourite underwater photography accessory of the last 12 months,” praising its tiny size, wide soft beam, and faultless reliability across testing in the Maldives, Florida, Bahamas, UK, and Holland ([81]). Also reviewed by Adam Hanlon, who compared it favorably against the iTorch Pro 3, noting the SOLA’s much more diffuse beam pattern ([82]). The revised “P” (Photo) version added an integrated 1” ball mount and adjustable red light levels (225/110/55 lumens) ([83], [84]).
-
SOLA Dive/Photo/Video line — By late 2010, the SOLA had expanded into three product families optimized for different use cases: Dive (blue bezel, spot/flood beams), Photo (red bezel, flood with red mode), and Video (flood beam). Models included Sola Dive 500/600/1200, Sola Photo 500/600, and Sola Video models. Prices ranged from $379 to $679 ([85]).

Community Engagement
Digital Shootout
Light & Motion was a founding sponsor of the Digital Shootout, a pioneering underwater photography and video workshop/competition series. The company hosted its own Digital Shootout event as early as 2001, which Jim Watt attended ([97]). L&M continued as a primary sponsor for the Bonaire Digital Shootout 2005 alongside Backscatter and Wetpixel, with co-founder Michael Topolovac and staff member Dan Baldocchi participating as workshop leaders ([98]).
Video Education
Light & Motion invested in underwater video education. Steve Fish produced a multi-part “Virtual Video Seminar” series for L&M, covering topics including HDV vs. DV formats and HD resolution comparisons ([99]). Michael Topolovac and Dan Baldocchi led a Komodo video workshop in August 2006 aboard the Voyager liveaboard, with L&M providing Sony FX1 and HC1 HD cameras and housings for participants ([100]).
Trade Show Presence
Light & Motion maintained a consistently prominent presence at trade shows, winning booth awards at DEMA 2001 ([101]). They had dedicated articles covering their DEMA booths in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2012, 2013, and 2015. The company also appeared at Seaspace (2002, 2003, 2005), Our World Underwater (2006), Beneath the Sea (2010, 2012), and the London Dive Show (2012).
Community Reception
The Wetpixel community response to Light & Motion products was generally positive but with some consistent criticisms:
- Pricing was a frequent concern. The Titan D200’s $4,499 MSRP drew comments like “I guess I should start looking into getting a second mortgage on my house” and calculations showing a two-person system would cost over $12,000 ([102]).
- Reliability of early products was noted by reviewers. Rodger Klein acknowledged that “the Titan E20 had some reliability problems found in many newly introduced products” while praising the improved Titan D100 ([103]).
- End-of-life support drew criticism. A 2011 commenter stated: “once they come out with a new product they stop supplying parts and service for the old ones. Just because something is 3 years old doesn’t make it obsolete but apparently that is the case too many times with L&M” ([104]).
- SOLA lights were widely praised. Alex Mustard’s review was effusive, and the line’s compact size, reliability, and red light mode for night diving set a new standard for focus lights ([105]). Adam Hanlon compared the SOLA favorably to the Fisheye FIX LED range, noting the SOLA 600’s wider beam and much smaller size ([106]).
- The company’s housing line held a warranty service rate of less than 2%, which they advertised as industry-leading reliability ([107]).
