I second that question! Only place I’ve found it online is some website that mostly sells clothing but for some reason shows the light in stock as well? I think I’ll wait!Any conservative time frame for when the EcoChic Waterproof Refugium LED Light 8831 will be back in stock in the USA?

They do come in, but far short of what we need and when they hit dealer shelves they are gone fast. This should improve soon, part of the current shortage is that they changed the production to be able to double the volume produced, but that meant no production for a while as machinery and molds were updated.
Anyone know if they are planning on getting more to us over in the uk? I have been hunting for one and thought they had stopped making them!
OK, not being a regular here in the Tunze sponsor forum, how are you so aware of what Tunze is doing? Do you work for them? Forgive me if I'm asking the obvious, but I just want to be clear.We never anticipated the demand this product has had, it was made for the MAR reactors and we sold it separately just because we had them, the demand was overwhelming and we already struggled to keep up, add a few months of closures from lockdowns over the last year and we are way behind. Right now the situation is worse as they took down the production completely to revamp it as peak output with the old process where they were made 1 at a time would never catch us up. They have changed the manufacturing tooling so we can make more, but it will likely be a while before these are a stock product again. They are still a current production product and the situation should improve soon, but they will likely continue to be a product that comes in and sells out nearly immediately when dealers get restocked.

BTW, if the info you passed along is for real, I will be first in line to say "Thank you!" More transparent talk by vendors is certainly appreciated!
I have been the US distributor since 2001, I handle all US support and distribution for Tunze and work on new product design and sourcing components as well.
Roger is the Tunze guru for the US and the US distributor. He offers some of the best customer service around. He has been offering great service via several reefing forums for years, which is not true of most brands. If you ever make it to a reefing show/swap and Tunze has a booth, be sure to go say hi to him. Great guy and he knows his stuff.
@Ron Reefman do you live under a rock? Just ribbing you brother
