"Wow. Thanks so much for the link!
I didn't realize there was a "mini" version of GU10. It looks like the bulbs I received will fit, but since my base says max of 28W, I've been hesitant to try in fear of messing things up.…"
"You bought a full size (50mm) reflector halogen. the Astros use mini (35mm) reflector halogen bulbs. does it even fits in the Astro Baby?
I'm using these 35W mini halogen bulbs for my full size…"
"The base of my Astro Baby says max 28W so I'm guessing these bulbs aren't going to work :( They're 35W and 50W. "
"I ended up purchasing these:

"Thanks for the insight, Elias! I'm powering her back up and I guess my next move will be looking into some spare bulbs :)"
"Had the same experience with Mathmos halogen bulbs. One even stopped working after just 5 minutes of use. Some break right away and other work just fine.
I dont know much about lightbulbs but i think moving or slightly bumping the lamp while running…"

Lamp flashed on then immediately turned off
Hi,I've had a Mathmos Astro Baby Lava lamp for almost a month now (I'm based in the US and used forward2me).
