"Oh my, how embarrassing! It was the the fuse! Thank you so much John that should have been the very first thing I checked! We're back in business! Good to know that the old astro baby cord/socket are the same as the Fluidiums tho.Cheers,Squibn"

Fluidium bulb socket's gone pop
It would appear I'm having no luck at all with my Fluidium!Firstly I couldn't get hold of the correct bulb for it and managed to scorch the base with a halogen bulb (don't do it folks!).

Cheers,Squibn"

"In that case Lampfancy I've got a phase 1, as mine has the motif on the bottle. I'm going to go to my local hardware store tomorrow to see if they've got one of those incandescent ones like you've posted a link to.
I saw those…"
"Hi Lampfancy,
Thanks for your reply, yeh I've tried one of those bulbs and the wax just doesn't move at all, it just lights up the base! I've attached the bulb I tried, it looks the same as the one you are suggesting, but there may…"
"Hello,
Apologies for replying to this post (nearly) 10 years later. Haha!
I'm having the exact same issue as the original poster. I bought a bulb that looked like the right type from Mathmos but it was a halogen one and began to scorch…"
