"Yeah the lighter finish as you describe seems at odds the central concept of it resembling a solid metallic object when turned off, that and the omission of the logo is probably a deal breaker for me. Was looking forward to these as well... :-|"

"I am thinking of getting one of these. I don't mind the finish being light, I am wondering what the flow is like on these. Does it do the snake like flow or more blobby. I know different people have different ideas of what they want their lamp…"

"Mine arrived also today. I dont like that the silver finish is so light, that you see the inside also if the lamp is off. And I dont like the missing logo. For me, not the perfect lamp..."

"wow"

"Really terrible! My red and blue was in great condition. Ordered yellow and orange yesturday, so hopefully they are also in great condition! Are you send these bottle back? Hope you get a replacement!"

"Good spot  -  the yellow one looks like it should pack a bit more visual punch than the original red/ blue variants, which to me always just seemed a bit dreary."

"Wonder why the orange variant wasn't available through Mathmos ?"

"No, they are definetely made by Mathmos. Only some kind of distribution partnership or so. Mathmos' site has metallic blue & red, quoted "Out of stock". And no clue if & when they will be available again. And now on the…"

"A bit confused about these - so this isn't an official Mathmos product ?"
