"I wonder why Mathmos don't persevere with heaters and LEDs? It has to be in the future somewhere."

"What king of heating element do you use? A reptile heater bulb? Id be very concerned about setting the right output."

White bottle with Copper base and green coloured light

"Hi Mark, I bought some from ebay a while back but they do get harder and harder to find sadly! I actually now prefer to a color changing LED light source to light my white wax lamp so I can choose to have it any color I feel like. Please check out…"

Claude J replied to Steven Russell's discussion Does anyone know what this is? I know it was made by Crestworth

andy ross replied to Steven Russell's discussion Does anyone know what this is? I know it was made by Crestworth

"Claude - this lamp depends on multiple contacts to pass on the drive traction from the various elements, as you know. But you shouldn't have any sound, (even with super-sensitive hearing)... it might be that one or more of the contact points…"

Profile Information

Something Interesting About Me:: Im a scuba diver and love to travel, I have family in Michigan and LA so spend a bit of time in the states. am getting to know all about Mathmos collecting as well as other brands of lamps. I also love fibre optic, colourful things like the Faze 3 and rare, interesting little things that Mathmos/Crestworth have made over the years. I wish Mathmos would make more of the colourful non lava stuff like they used to but I am hooked and have fallen in love with the brand and history of products 😊 I just wish I had more money and space lol!

Where I Live:: London

My First Lava Lamp was:: a 3 in 1 astro when i was much younger. wish i had kept it now!

My Collection Includes this many Lava Lamps:: 19

My Favorite Lava Lamp is:: A project I am working on to use LED's as a light source with a white bottle so i can have it any colour I want or cycling the spectrum. I also have some ideas about re-inventing the lava lamp but need someone who is good with electrics to work with.
