<h3>About Innovative Lighting</h3><p><strong>Innovative Lighting</strong> is one of the most storied names in marine LED technology — a company that didn't just adopt LED innovation, it helped define it. Founded in 1993 by Jerry Handsaker in Algona, Iowa, the company got its start with a single breakthrough product: a revolutionary retractable stern light that signaled a new era in on-water illumination. From that one invention, Innovative Lighting has grown into a manufacturer of over 1,000 products serving boaters, truckers, trailer owners, and commercial operators across North America.</p><p>Headquartered in Story City, Iowa, with a sales division in Des Moines, Innovative Lighting operates squarely in the American heartland — and that Midwestern work ethic shows in its products. The company's &quot;Made in Iowa&quot; philosophy reflects a commitment to customization, consistent quality, and reliable manufacturing that overseas competitors simply can't match. Over its three decades in business, Innovative Lighting has been named to <em>Inc.</em>'s 500 Fastest-Growing Companies list four times, and founder Jerry Handsaker was named Ernst &amp; Young Entrepreneur of the Year in 2004.</p><p>What sets Innovative Lighting apart in the marine space is the depth of its engineering. The company was among the first to bring LED technology to the 12-volt marine environment, recognizing early on that LED's low power draw was perfectly suited to the demands of life on the water. Today, their marine lineup spans everything from <a href="/11521-innovative-lighting-portable-navigation-lights-200797">portable navigation lights</a> that run on AA batteries and deliver 100,000 hours of LED service life, to permanently mounted <a href="/11521-innovative-lighting-docking-lights-200335">docking lights</a> built to withstand the shock, vibration, corrosion, and moisture that marine environments demand.</p><p>Safety and visibility are central to the brand's mission. Innovative Lighting's <a href="/11521-innovative-lighting-horn-10051">marine horns</a> complement their lighting systems by providing audible signaling solutions alongside visual ones — a natural pairing for vessels that need to meet both COLREGS and ABYC safety standards. Below deck and around the cockpit, their <a href="/11521-innovative-lighting-courtesy-lights-200293">courtesy lights</a> add both functional illumination and subtle styling, while their compact <a href="/2856-step-light-innovative-lighting-11521">step lights</a> bring safety to boarding areas, stairs, and passageways without drawing down battery reserves.</p><p>Whether you're rigging a new build, upgrading aging incandescent fixtures, or replacing a single failed light, Innovative Lighting's broad catalog — built on over 30 years of LED expertise — offers solutions engineered specifically for the demands of life on the water.</p>
