<p>Hi all,</p>
<p></p>
<p>Just joined this site, and I'm hoping someone will be able to help me out!</p>
<p></p>
<p>I've got a Fluidium lamp (the one with the Ross Lovegrove logo on the front). It hasn't been used for over two years. This was due to the lava basically not warming up and staying down the bottom of the bottle, then when the bulb blew I just put it into storage.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I now want to bring it back to life!! But when I looked at it it, seems to have gone a little cloudy.…</p>

<p></p>
<p>I now want to bring it back to life!! But when I looked at it it, seems to have gone a little cloudy. I've search the forum and this seems to happen to some of lamps?</p>
<p></p>
<p>So my question(s) is this...</p>
<p>What do I need to do to restore it...</p>
<p>1) Where can I get a bulb from (I'm in the UK). Mathmos want £9 (after postage)...and this seemed a little steep? I have in the past bought standard one from a supermarket, but I think they over heat as they seem to blow really, really easily!</p>
<p>2) Is there a reason why the lava has stopped heating up?? (I understand that this could be for several reasons, but not sure how to find out which one it is!)</p>
<p>3) Is the clouding a problem? Or should it disperse once heated up?</p>
<p></p>
<p>Apologies if I'm asking alot of questions, but I've no idea about these things, and thought this would be the perfect place to ask!:)</p>
<p></p>
<p>Thanks,</p>

<p>Dang it! I just wreaked not one, but TWO purple/yellow Grandes... And I'm not sure how or why. I used the correct bulb, nothing overheated, they were clear when I put 'em on the base and fired 'em up. They're both Chinese globes, about 6-7 years old, and hadn't been run for a while. The first one that clouded has been on a timer for about a week, no clearing, in fact, it's getting worse.</p>

<p>Other than refilling or chucking them over the side of a very high bridge, any…</p>
