Didn't they get brought up by Scolmore/Ovia? To be honest their products in the later years left a fair bit to be desired, though that is true for most emergency products now.

I think someone purchased the assets, but as a company, they're done.

And yes, their latter stuff was utter crap, Especially their NiCd batteries, wouldn't even last a year!

Ah ok, so just selling on the name now then. The very last generation of their 8W bulkhead (well LED bulkhead of the 8W style) looked identical to the same generic one that everyone sells now!

Yup, I guess it'll just be crap from China sold under the Orbik name.
