<p>Sad to say But I will NOT be buying anything from Mathmos anymore, it is such a shame the CEO / MD has lost control of her company.</p>

<p>Hi all, thanks for your replies on my post. Am waiting for a reply on an email I sent to Mathmos regarding the issues I had on the Black Astro. Have attached some photos one showing the small scratches on the cap, one showing the bottle cap that was so loose I just unscrewed it by hand and the other one showing the new bottles Mathmos are using for the Astros compared to the older bottle.</p>

<p>Is the black actually black? I just received a new telstar, and the black in my case is maroon/deep wine and most definitely not black.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I'm about to e-mail them with my complaint, but was wondering if that is just their new definition of black.</p>

<p>I also received a black astro with clear/black bottle and a smart astro and theyre both perfect also, the smart astro is a much better design from their first release that for sure !</p>
<p>It's almost the luck of the draw with the QC of the lamps but it shouldn't have to be seen as were paying a premium price for a premium product !</p>
