There is truth to this, but as with everything there is more to the story. In essence, this is really no different than what happens every day in business. An engineer went to work for a competitor. My current employer is a competitor of my previous employer. It's hard to move within an industry without going to a competitor. That's just the way things go sometimes.

I do know the lights that Leszek designed for ReefTech are not simply the next generation Pacific Sun lights. There are many new and innovative ideas and everything has been designed from the ground up.

I'd be happy to share more of what I know (PM me if you like), but as I can't honestly validate everything, I'm not comfortable posting it publically. I'd rather see this thread used to discuss the technology. We are both passionate about LED lighting and I welcome the debate on this front.

Speaking of using this thread to discuss LED lighting fixtures...I was in Toronto for business a little while back and pulled over at a fish store (can't remember the name) and they had one of these hanging over a display tank. Looked pretty nice and they said they had sold a few of them. Not sure of pricing but I've also seen this on a few larger threads in the US.
