So, I did some investigation on the Vertex Illumia and why BRS and Premiumaquatics doesn't carry the illumina anymore.
I started by emailing a British vender to inquire if they ship international. However, they shut me down quick. No, they did not with no explaination. Trying to figure out why they would not dare to ship internationally in my head, I remembered the patent issues and how more importantly the fixture will not work on our grid. (UK 220v/US 110v).
I then searched for countries with the same grids as the US, turns out Canada has the same grid. I emailed JL Aquatics in British Columbia. I got word from them that they do ship to the US, but the fixture is in backorder. However, there is one US retailer still left, Proline Aquatics in California.
Ecstatic that there possibly might still be a vendor in our great nation, I saught out Proline Aquatics' sales team.
There is sh!t news and good news...
Sh!t News: Vertex illumina is extinct... went out of production last year. Good News: there is a new model coming out Spring 2016. Let's see! Just around the time I'll be ready to fire my 40 build up.
