Born in the back of a dive shop, Ike molded the first of "Ike's lights" in a Westinghouse oven in the early 1960's. Today Ikelite is a woman-led, family owned business still located on the same block of Illinois Street in Indianapolis, Indiana. We continue to be a leading manufacturer in the underwater photographic industry with global distribution in over 95 countries.
