Hi from England

Just seen this thread; yes, it's the (older) Galaxy that has a fan to shuffle the fibres; the Jupiter2 doesn't.

Neither of these models rotate, sadly, your Fantasias have got us beat there.

(though I'm told the Crestworth Snowflake does, and some others, too, not sure which...)

I agree, the Fantasia Fibre lamps do look superior from what I've seen on here. I've never seen one or a Mathmos in person, I found a cheap UFO lamp in a local charity store  but it was a bit tatty, noisy and juddery so re-donated it back to them. I could live with it in good condition though, at least until a found a good quality one.

I have never seen that type of lamp before - it really does look like a chrome mushroom!

I have the Aluminium and fiber optic table lamp which was made in Italy.

I just received confirmation from the Ebay seller that the spray on a Mathmos Jupiter2 does not move.

Now we know for sure.

Sounds cool - I can't wait to see it.

Is it a Crestworth Snowflake? - I really want one of those.

I have fiber optic lamps that were made in Italy, Germany, and one I bought from Canada that I believe was made in France, but I like my large Fantasia lamps the best!

I am waiting on this lamp I bought in Europe recently. It is shaped like a mushroom and has a large Fantasia like spray and a beautiful color wheel. It rotates but the motor was screwed up, so I had it fixed. Once it gets here, I will post pictures.

I think it has a fan that blows on the fibers which causes them to move slightly.

Maybe someone from the UK who has one can confirm if the spray rotates or not.

Actually you might be right, no spinning! My illusion!
