J&L solaris lights have been on sale a long time. the sale was started on them because people were finding that LED lighting was not as good (or just as good... PAR comparison results are still unconfirmed i believe) as say metal halides and were far more expensive. the current patent issue with the LEDs and PFO was not the initial cause of the sale... just thought that should be stated.

Man just read through the actual lawsuit and you would be crazy to buy any LED aquarium lights at this point but especially the PFO units (even on sale)! Orbital Technologies Corporation has the patent to any and all LED lights made for marine aquarium use. There is no way PFO can win this lawsuit and just does not have the money to fight a corporation with $150 million in contrcts...these guys are not another relatively small aquarium company.
I feel bad for everyone who spent all that money on these things because up until now, they have been nothing but trouble and now the warranty will most likely not be valid  http://www.reefbuilders.com/wp-conte...p-o08-220p.pdf

yes.
the onus is on the consumer to prove dishonesty. Just accept it all at face value...lol It's one thing to outright make slanderous accusations, it's quite another to ask questions. Believe me, I shop at JL a lot and am happy to give them my business, but at the end of the day thats all it is. Business. I believe in coincidences. Sometimes.

O_o
I had no idea until now that anyone was having problems with the Solaris. I've had mine for over two years now... no problems with it. I have to take it apart every six months or so and blow the dust out, but that's about it... Maybe it's because my tank is covered, so the moisture can't get in and corrupt the circuitry?
