Lightning® brand fingerprint powder was developed in 1936 by a crime scene officer. Over the next several years, more and more products were acquired and developed to meet the needs of forensics professionals, including the Zephyr Brush Company. In 2000, Lightning Powder was acquired by BAE Systems, joining the Armor Forensics team of brand names that include NIK®, Identicator®, ODV™, NTI and Evi-Paq™. From the humble beginnings of Lightning® brand fingerprint powder, Lightning Powder has become one of the largest name brands of forensics equipment, focusing on high-quality products with a heavy focus on knowledge, education and excellent customer service.
