It all began when Todd Moore (avid photographer and co-founder of the company) wanted to take pictures of lightning strikes and get the shot every time, not just get 'lucky.' He challenged his long time friend and electrical engineer Dave Koerner to come up with a solution. After several years of research and development the first prototypes were developed.

To ensure that the product they developed would meet the needs of the most demanding photographers, Todd asked Bill Lea and several other professional photographers to put the device through it's paces. Using the suggestions from the field testing they made the finishing touches and created the Lightning Bug.™
