<p>If they thought it would be a money maker, they would have released new Lunars.</p>

<p>I think the smart astro is the way to go, once that technology is perfected, then maybe a larger lunar sized lamp may come out.</p>

<p>it won't increase the value of the older ones unless new blood is brought into the fold and there is a desire for the older lamps. For people who are happy enough to own a larger smart lamp, they will stay with that. </p>
<p>For people who own lunars already, Mathmos would have new sales for old fans. </p>

<p>Win/Win, Yet it's hinged upon the success of new warming mechanisms that do not require bulbs. and led lighting mechanisms that are bright enough. </p> Mathmos wont move to china -…tag:oozinggoo.ning.com,2012-03-30:1566398:Comment:3835752012-03-30T20:32:01.830ZTim Gillhttps://oozinggoo.ning.com/profile/TimGill

<p>I've never considered lunars rare.</p>
<p>In any given month or year, how many are available for auction?</p>
<p></p>
<p>Weigh that against a Princess, Imperial, Wall scone, meditation consort, executive, etc, etc. </p>

<p>I personally hope they don’t release a new Lunar as it would instantly de-value the Lunar's us collectors have worked hard to acquire, my lamps are not just a collection I admire but they are also a financial investment. I want to see new stuff from Mathmos just not a new Lunar or if they really do release one please tweak the design enough to make sure the originals hold their value!</p>

<p>Probably not, but something Gold to mark 50 years.</p>
