<p>When I first noticed this I took a closer look at the bottle and there were patches of transparent film on the inside of the glass. I think that when the lamp warmed up and the glass expanded the film crackled and detached in pieces forming the shards. I'm guessing the lamps had been in storage for some time and were a job lot as I got mine from a discount store, they were all the same colour combo ( blue/blue ) piled to the ceiling and cheap as chips.

<p>Hi Aladdin and thanks for the welcome and information.</p>
<p></p>
<p>You're right they actually also look like glass and at first i was worried something may have been broken during the transport but after finding nothing after an inspection i forgot about that theory.</p>
<p>Ill just let the lamp run for some time then before really starting to worry. Now and then i already think the particles got less or smaller - or both - and then a few hours later i think theyre back to the amount/size…</p>

<p>Ill just let the lamp run for some time then before really starting to worry. Now and then i already think the particles got less or smaller - or both - and then a few hours later i think theyre back to the amount/size they were in the beginning. Guess that comes from my personality (i get upset easily about small errors in things) and the fact that the lamp stands like 1-2 meters aways from me max so i always look at it when i sit at my desk. I checked and when i stand further away in the room the particles are barely visible but with "my nose at the glass" the whole time im prone to see these things all the time...</p>
<p></p>
<p>I guess ill just wait and come back to this thread if the problem still persists in a reasonable amount of time.</p>

<p>thanks again for your help</p> Hi philipp, welcome to OG.

<p>Hi philipp, welcome to OG.</p>
<p>I had this in a Motion brand lamp. The particles were reflective and looked like shards of glass in strong daylight. They dispersed after a few weeks of the lamp being run every day.</p>
<p> Enjoy the flow :)</p>
