Default Bad news for solaris owners
PFO is being sued for patent infringment. I have been trying to call them for two weeks to get repalement parts, but apparently they laid off all their staff. Anyone know how to get repalcement parts now?

Good thing these lights were cheap .!.!...

So this lawsuit is only related to their LED products?

Is that why J&L has the solaris on sale?

I think it only relates to the aquarium lighting, but the lawsuit seems to be crippling the company. They laid off all their staff, even in the commercial lighting section.

May still survive, but it doesn't look good.
