<p>I was thinking the same, used to be a guy called Mick I believe who made all the bottles, maybe he left and took all the knowledge with him :-D. I don’t think they validate much to be honest given the chrome iO and smart Astro in particular that got pulled from sale really fast as it just didn’t work. Maybe that’s why we never see any interesting innovation now, its almost like they don’t even trust themselves.</p>

<p>Quite a few reports of this issue in other places too it seems. Amazing how they can’t make their own product after all these years. </p>
<p>I've been to the factory a couple of times, it’s quite an armature operation so sadly not too surprising but it’s just getting worse. This plus sticky wax. </p>

<p>Exactly what I thought :-D. I'm tired of constantly having to contact them about faulty bottles. I feel for the guys in the US that spend so much money to import them just to end up with a collection of faulty bottles. Plus, the people who are new to "premium" lava lamps who might think this is normal. I don’t know how they are managing to get it so wrong recently but I think I'm done, too much of a hassle/gamble. </p>

<p>They have sent me a return label noting the bottle looks to overheat, it’s not that, it’s just bad formula. </p>
<p>My clear/blue is not too bad, the clear/green in a GU10 Telstar base is a mess but interestingly in one of the old incandescent bases it’s not too bad. I guess the heat from the GU10 bulb is too direct in the centre. </p>
