Also ich kann dir nur aus eigener Erfahrung sagen, dass dieser Zustand nicht lange andauern soll.<br />
Da sonst der Wachs überhitzt. Ich hatte mit Arne gesprochen, der kann sich auch nicht erklären was die Wachsüberhitzung mit dem Ankleben des Wachses zu tun haben soll. Vielleicht hatte meine Flasche damals von Mathmos her einen Schaden. Du schreibst du hast ´ne neue Flasche von Mathmos bekommen, ist die alte denn kaputt, oder wie jetzt?<br />

Hi Marcel.<br />
Wenn es so aussieht, dann unbedingt etwas runterdimmen, bis das Wachs die Spirale wieder bedeckt.

Yeah, Lunars have a different flow to an astro. Like I said before I like a slower flow with less blobs so lunars are perfect for me. Its just personal preference.<br />
<br />
I'll give you a small rug and a 2002 calendar for it if you want to send it over?

Yeah, maybe. Depends on how you like the lamp to flow. I like very few large blobs so I run them cooler. Other people like more smaller blobs so thay will run them slightly hotter. Mine have been on for about 8 hours today and are on about 25% brightness.<br />
<br />
The very, very early lunars had white power cords. Maybe they were the ones that didn't have the dimmers. All the black corded ones did though.

The bulbs mathmos sell are just normal bulbs but with a 1000% mark up. As you say with a dimmer its ok.<br />
<br />
With new bottles, heat the lamp for 3 hours or so then dimm to maybe around half then dimm again in another couple of hours if your running it for longer.<br />
<br />
Older bottles will need to be dimmed earlier and more or thay will just stop running.

Where the cable goes into the lamp looks like all of my lunars. The switch is not original.<br />
<br />
The osram bulbs will work with the dimmer so your set. As i said let it warm up then lower the heat.<br />
<br />
Mathmos sell lunar bulbs for over £9. I can buy the exact same bulb from the same manufacture for less than £1, same with astro bulbs. I think they rely on people thinking they are a special sort of bulb or something.<br />
<br />
Enjoy it, they are great looking lamps with a very unique flow.

The dimmer looks like a small black box with a slider and a red light, thay are fitted to all lunars. Sounds like someone has had yours away!<br />
<br />
People use 100w bulbs I guess so the lamp will heat up faster and because thay have a dimmer fitted its ok. I'll post some pics of the dimmer later if I can.<br />
<br />
Also never buy bulbs from mathmos, thay are a total rip off.

Do you not already have an in-line dimmer on it?
