Fantasia Ecstasy fiber optic - Do you have one?

[Kris]

I have some confusing info on the Fantasia Ecstasy lamp and I am hoping to get some clarification from anyone with info or anyone that has one.

According to a parts sheet from Fantasia Products, the Centurion and Ecstasy both use the same spray.  I know this can't be right because they look totally different in the ad I have seen.  One is clearly fuller and thicker (Centurion) and the other is less thick and more rounded (Ecstasy). 

eBay pictures from many auctions show this lamp with a spray that is similar to the Lovebug, a half round.  Some eBay pictures show a more thicker spray.  Although the rounder spray seems to be the most popular one.

Which one is correct?  Was it possible they had two different sprays?  Does ANYONE here with an Ecstasy lamp have a picture of it with the spray?

Any help and info would be appreciated.

I think different sprays were used over the years. The first lamps used only the so-called Firefly Spray, the sort of fan-shaped spray, trimmed to form a half-dome; some of these were tall and narrow, others wider and shorter. Some later models had the fibers trimmed to form a sphere instead; this was called a 'heat spray' or 'heat-formed spray' even though the term really applies to all glass optic fibre sprays.

My Ecstasy came with a spherical spray, and I'm going to guess that most used this (whereas the Centurion used a taller-type Firefly spray) and some early models may have used the Firefly before they started clipping full spheres as well. That's just my guess.

Perhaps, later on, the Firefly spray was phased out? Though that doesn't seem likely since an 80s ad shows spheres (Love Bug, Alpha - the Alpha has a smaller sphere) as well as Fireflies (Firefly's is taller and more ovoid, New Star has a wider spray)
