If you use any of their products and need replacement parts or it
breaks, you're 100% screwed.

Wrong, Champion Lighting has taken over. I think they are trying to get out
of the state of California.

That's a patriotic, reassuring message the vendor is giving their
customers. What they mean is they will try to find substitutes for
CustomSeaLife products. CustomSeaLife **IS** gone and none of their
manufactured products are available from them anymore. For example
they custom manufactured Metal Halide bulbs to strict specs (one of
the reasons they were able to publish their spectral patterns). I
confirmed with several vendors that these bulbs are no longer
available.

They also made several fixtures with custom sizes that no other
lighting manufacturer currently makes. (For example Metal Halide /
PowerCompact combo prism pendants.) These are now gone as well, and
there are no other substitutes for now.

They are going to re-manufacturer and brand most of the products, including
the moonlites.
