Good question! Best I could come up with was an article that's already a couple of years old, but it looks like there are just too many new players out there for Orbital to prevail with their patent much longer. I suspect PFO lighting was merely the sacrificial lamb because they had the misfortune of being the first innovators to come up with a large controllable LED fixture. As far as I can tell, Orbital still hasn't come up with anything for Marine Tanks, but they do have some 'plant' growing offerings. Wonder if they've considered taking on some of the grow op light manufacturers??!
