After 35 years in business, Light & Motion, a well-respected manufacturer of cycling lights, has ceased operations. CEO Daniel Emerson attributed the closure to the significant challenges faced by US manufacturers, particularly in light of declining manufacturing and unfavorable political conditions.
Light & Motion , a well-established brand in the cycling lights industry, has ceased operations after 35 years in business. CEO Daniel Emerson cited 'significant' challenges faced by US manufacturers, particularly in the context of declining US manufacturing and unfavorable 'political winds' as key factors behind the closure. The company's website no longer accepts orders and features a statement announcing the news.
Light & Motion was renowned for its high-quality lights used in various applications, including cycling, diving, photography, and videography. Many of their cycling products received critical acclaim. The brand was distributed by Madison in the UK for many years and their products are still listed on Madison's consumer website Freewheel. Light & Motion emphasized that while their lights were designed for durability, some authorized dealers might continue offering repair services. Emerson's statement acknowledges the company's history of innovation and dedication to customer problems, but ultimately laments the difficulties faced by US manufacturers in the current global landscape. The news follows a challenging period for the bike industry, with many companies grappling with economic pressures and supply chain disruptions
