"these bases from 2000-2008 was bought in to make the bottles stand better upright all they do is stop the bottle wobble and later bought in the lip bottles we have now most of the brush astro bases have this then they were replaced it isnt a limited…"
"hey you need a speical filer to repair this it might be cheaper to just replace bottle if wax isnt flowing as cloudy then looks like wax might had its day great lamp the mathmos lunar and rare now nice polish be good as new."
"look like dye to me i had the same on alot bottle just give them a good run as opening the bottles will void your 2 year manufacting to return. if not happy they easy swap if you contact them well in the uk they been very helpful with bad bottles…"
"wow that looks cool they confirmed they gonna keep this in the range just wont have the first 100 edition ones do you know if you managed to get one looks so cool"
"The vinyl astro is staying as mathmos say it will be in its complete range normally the sticker is on the base and the box for the first editions not sure if it's on the cap though it's always been at the base of the lamp these sold out so…"
"I've got 55 mathmos lamps got about 30 astro bottles metallic flock fluidiums got all the mathmos led light range song rare lamps been collecting for years."
"It's totally worth it but unlike most I don't run lamps for more than 6 hours never put mine in sunlight got bottles from 90s and still work in new condition I just look after mine well, these will go yellow in the end though "
"think your best useing a set down transform the halogoen gu10 are a pain to get hold off in 28w if not you could add a dimmer to the inline swtich"
"Your welcome also I use the 40w r39 reflector bulbs but like you say they are hard to get hold off, I always keep soke fuses as I had same issue with a old telstsr before glad you got it in working order again thanks john "
"You can use these plug in adapter have you changed your fuse as seems odd when your socket keep blowing unless something tripping out like short circuiting another think you can do and will work is to get a old astro baby base and swap the new cord…"
Custom metallic globes in marble bases
"Wow look great did you make the metallics yourself nice and clear for sure "
"Hi you can't sadly I got one with same problem they sealed unit and trying to open one will likely smash the glass top you can still use them plugged in though. Some the leds do go aswell overtime "
"I've got both new ones and the coating is perfect on mine but I handle these with care they scratch like anything so I don't keep mine out offen, can't say I had bubbling myself but early days "

- Hi john. I don´t try it. But Mathmos give the hint to use it at 20-24°C. Here in Germany it is colder.

- Hi John.
Yes I need a heat shield. When I use a bulb without reflector i must use a heat shield. The blue bulb have no reflector. But when i use a bulb with reflector i don´t need the heatshield.

- Hi John. Nice collection of lamps, you currently only have 35 more than me! Although, in reality, it's probably closer to 36 more as I think mine's dead.The old 'wax sticking to the sides' problem has occurred after years of inactivity and I've been unable to sort it out. Going to have to replace it with loads of new lamps!
