<p>Hi I was curious to know if anyone has purchased a Lunar / io bottle in the last 2 weeks?</p>
<p>If you have could you please confirm the colour option you chose and have you noticed any sticking wax, staining on the inside of the glass or debris in the wax.</p>
<p><br/> I want to try re order some bottles but after several Yellow / Orange & Blue / Green bottles had the above issues I decided to return all mine for a refund and wait until Mathmos sorted out the problem.</p>

<p>I’m curious to discover what issues people are having with the Yellow/ Orange and the Pink / Turquoise bottles </p>
<p></p>
<p>I have had 5 Y / O bottles so far and all have had sticky wax & some cloudy residue on the inside of the glass.</p>
<p></p>
<p>3 T /P bottles with sticky wax and one very scratched bottle.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Mathmos have been very helpful but where do you draw the line,my Y / O bottles have been back & forth for almost a year now. <br></br></p>
<p>I can’t be that…</p>

<p>I can’t be that unlucky to receive so many sub standard bottles from Mathmos recently.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I will be returning both for refund and hopefully the issue will be resolved soon so I can purchase them again.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Anyone who’s purchased the Violet / Red or Blue/ Green Lunar bottles, have you had issues with these?</p>

<p></p> IO bottle on Lunar Basetag:oozinggoo.ning.com,2020-02-01:1566398:Topic:7065072020-02-01T23:20:04.105ZCritterhttps://oozinggoo.ning.com/profile/Somhtam
<p>Lava Fans,</p>
<p></p>
<p>Last fall when Marcel bought a new Mathmos IO lamp to use with his glitter bottles he posted the Yellow/Orange lave bottle he chose for sale on the forum. I didn't pick up a IO (yet) but I was definitely interested in the new Yellow/Orange bottle Mathmos was making. So when Marcel said he was selling his new Y/O bottle I grabbed it up for my Lunar.

<p>Last fall when Marcel bought a new Mathmos IO lamp to use with his glitter bottles he posted the Yellow/Orange lave bottle he chose for sale on the forum. I didn't pick up a IO (yet) but I was definitely interested in the new Yellow/Orange bottle Mathmos was making. So when Marcel said he was selling his new Y/O bottle I grabbed it up for my Lunar. I was not sure if the IO bottle contents would run well on the Lunar since they are using different light sources and perhaps a different formula, but I figured with all of my lamp experience I could make it work if it didn't. </p>
<p>Well, the bottle (and a few other goodies...more on those later) arrived from Marcel yesterday and I can happily report that the formula in the Y/O IO bottle runs in a spectacular fashion on the Lunar base! I fired it up this morning for its virgin run and it is magnificent!</p>

<p></p>
<p>In addition, the nose cone was dented and hand engraved with the most horrid attempt at flames, the socket was fried, no dimmer, cord overheated and badly mangled.</p>
<p>It was amateurly converted to 120VAC.</p>
<p>I was more than Disgruntled and disillusioned over the whole deal, (Especially since it cost me over $300 and pulling a all-nighter to rush the re-goo of the Colossus per his request).</p>
<p>But since the individual had come a long way to do the deal, and I had past dealings, I mistakenly agreed to accept a cash difference from him for the difference in value when he got next paycheck.</p>
<p>The amount did not even come close to what I had to spend to fix this piece of crap. (less than 1/2)</p>
<p>That was over 4/5 months ago. </p>
<p>He has since apparently and intentionally disappeared, not answering calls or emails</p>

<p>More pics of the atrocity. </p>
<p>Who mistreats a coveted lamps like this?</p>

<p></p>
<p>I had planned on having a CAD file made (Which I did for $100) and have a new lower nose cone replicated, but the cost of having only one CNC machined was prohibitive.</p>
<p><br/> So I used up some of my pre-paid budget for my pearl white custom paint job for my Suburban and this was the result:</p>
<p>(At the cost of $400 to remove all dents, weld up holes, body-filler the whole lamp, prime, paint, clear coat)</p>
<p>Not including the costs to rewire, but thanks to a fellow member across the pond, I saved a lot of time and aggravation.</p>
<p>THANK YOU ANDY ROSS~!</p>

<p>The good people at Mathmos agreed to send me some Lunar Brit decals, but I'm not holding my breath as they probably thought I was in UK when they offered.<br/> <br/> There was no response once i sent my actual address to them.</p>
<p>If anyone has Mathmos decals they are willing to part with, please let me know.</p>
<p></p>
<p>All in all, it is not what I planned for, but the repairs and custom paint made this lamp look amazing..;<br/> Here are some shots of the paint out in the sun.</p>
<p>It is quite stunning when viewed in person under the sun and I look forward to the Suburban being painted this as a basecoat in addition to the custom color/change (flip-flop) metallic clearcoat for the sides and hood scoops overlay.</p>

<p>The bottle was cloudy and the aluminum was dull but I had a vision of how it could turn out. I poured out the fluid and filled up with new water two times. That was all it needed!! Strange. I was prepared to at least add dishwashingfluid and salt, but it worked without that! Then I took the lamp apart to polish all parts and now it looks like new :)</p>

<p>The bottle is sandblasted and comes with a black hard plastic lid.</p>
<p>The color transitions in "fade" and "smooth mode" are very fine. Much better than shown in the youtube-video.</p>

Good evening everybody.<br />
I'd like to change the color of one of my Lunars.<br />
I tried the search, but somehow I can only see part of the replies, missing what I need.<br />
So, does anybody can guide me step by step on how to empty a Lunar bottle and refill it with Astro bottles?<br />
Thanks for your patience.

<p>The Mathmos Lunar is made of highly polished aluminum that has a shiny luster and almost a mirror like finish.</p>
<p>This Lunar has it's original UK wiring and 3 prong plug so you will need to use a power converter to run it in the USA unless you want to get it rewired.</p>
<p>The Lunar comes with one extra brand new 240V 100 Watt bulb.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Buyer gets to select <strong>1</strong> of 3 available Lunar bottles - </p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>Clear/Purple</strong> - Custom Lunar lava bottle made by Mathmos back when they still made custom bottles upon request.</p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>Violet/Red</strong> - Violet liquid has faded to almost clear.</p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>Glitterbaby</strong> - Custom Lunar glitter bottle made by Mathmos.</p>
<p>Shiny slow flowing glitter - very elegant looking.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>Price - $975.00 + $100.00 shipping charge</p>
<p>Paypal only.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I will ship the Lunar using UPS.</p>
<p>The package will be fully insured against loss or damage.</p>
<p>Online tracking information will be made available.</p>
<p>I would like to keep this Lunar in the USA, however I am willing to ship it to Canada if Canadian buyer agrees to pay larger shipping cost.</p>
<p>I have uploaded many pictures of the Lunar which can be viewed online here - </p>

<p>Hello Lunar adorers</p>
<p>Just in case anybody is interested in empty Lunar bottles and screw caps. There's a guy in Germany selling some. I bought one from him and it fits perfectly. The screw cap looks like the original one. So finally I can have different bottles for my one Lunar base :-).</p>
<p>Send me a PN for further information.</p>
