I think most people are reluctant to buy something when the company that built it was sued and is out of business

Well if they are not knowing of the reason for the lawsuit I can understand their reluctance but being the lawsuit was brought about due to a Patent on the LED idea by another company and not the technology or quality of the product(the power supply bing an exception as I feel they just did not get a chance to properly address the issue and come up with a proper fix due to the lawsuit shutting them down in mid stride) I feel that yes it is unfortunate that they are out of business and no longer able to support the product but that this in no way affects the overall quality and benifit of this particular lighting alternative.

Actually, I'm not sure that's 100% true as the emitters are soldered 5 to a PCB strip and you need specialized reflux soldering equipment to deal with these kinds of LEDs. If you overheat the board while removing and replacing one emitter you may end up damaging the others on the board. That is why PFO simply replaced the whole strip if one or more emitter burned out.

A couple of power supplies on my 72" Solaris packed it in a while ago, but I sent all my power units down to a company in Tucson, Arizona.
Here is a link for a discussion on another board regarding the shortfalls and design of the original equipment.:

I should be getting my units back in the next week or so. (I only sent them down last week.)

Yeah I looked into the Guy down there as well and I just had a hard time swallowing the 600 bucks canadian for two units to be repaired when I got it done here for less than 200 and had the added benifit of knowing the guy and not hoping to have no custom's or scam worries, that being said hopefully everything works out for you with the power sources but if not then pm me and I'll let you know the guy I used In Drayton Valley, AB and see if he can hook you up with some new power supplies. Cheers and Happy reefing all.
