<p>That will be an interesting test. </p>
<p>I wish I could get bottles to last without going cloudy, all ours do with time, even following the golden rules. We do have some three in one astro bottles that are the totally clear and they've seen a lot of use. All our bottles are stored in cupboards with solid doors. Looking forward to seeing your experiment results. </p>

<p>I see what you mean when you previously said these bottles change colour with time. I bet it's still really nice when it's running though, more of a orange and clear lol. At least it isn't cloudy, massive bonus that. Thanks for the pics</p>
<p></p>
<p>Not bad though for a 21 year old bottle. </p>

<p>Thank you all again! I really appreciate the info.</p>
<p>I think I'm going to give it a miss today but will be looking to add another one or two to my collection soon. It's hard as there's a fair bit of choice in the colours and what I really love the look of clear and pink is hard to find. I hope they Mathmos change up the colour ways soon! </p>

<p>I’ve stuck my “white” on to give you an idea of how they end up.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Please keep in mind this thing is VERY old. It’s not flowing yet obviously, but it will give you an indication of how they change over the years</p>

<p>I altered the colour levels of the last photo to make the wax look more like it does in real life as the camera made it look darker than it actually is.</p>
<p>I actually still quite like it even in its yellowed state, it’s a much more vibrant/bright “yellow” than my actual yellow or orange waxes. I'm quite fond of it, it has character (I can relate I guess!)</p>
<p></p>
<p>I ended up buying 3 of the current limited run bottles in all honesty (would have ordered a couple more if they'd kept the discount...). I love how they look, even if they don't stand up to the levels of abuse I give the poor things. I figured 3 would keep me going for a while, plus I would keep them as a more occasional lamp regardless.</p>

<p>Yeah, I think it's down to individual preferences.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Honestly, I still like my "white" one, but it is most definitely not white any more. It is really quite old though - it's the old style bottle with a wide cap. I would imagine Mathmos would do another white run at some point so you could replace it before it reached that stage ;)</p>
