<p><br></br> I use a astro base (matt silver form the 90s I think) with a heritage clear and turquise bottle.

Its take 2 hours exactly to start flowing. <br></br> <cite>Kaia1165 said:…</cite></p>

The old astro uses a 40w halogen lamp. if you put a 40w halogen lamp in the heritage bases with a normal (non heritage) bottle it will flow correctly. The heritage bases take more heat than the regular bases, so they make the fluid different to compensate. Just use a hotter bulb.</p>

Wow I had no idea that they offered that service. How would I go about asking them to make a clear/white? Just shoot them an email? I didn't see anything on their website so do I just email them?<br />

Wow I would absolutely love to see what some of those old ones look like. I would like get my hands in a clear/white one. Do you by chance know the original color combination that Mathmos offered? Was it the violet/ red combo or was it another? Also, what if you have a clear/ white one and you need a replacement? Do they make one special for you or are you SOL?

Thank you for your reply man! I have a heritage on order. I am using forward2me for shipping to the states. I will wire it for the U.S. Using Brad's instructions again. I noticed my other lamps overheating just last night so I will have to get some dimmers or maybe a lower wattage bulb. I guess maybe the 40W bulb is too hot? But then again they were on for a long time so it was time to turn them off anyways. I guess I will try the heritage turquoise with a 40W bulb and see how it is. If it's…

I wish I could have bought a orange astro for Halloween. Too bad I was late to the lava lamp party. What other astro colors did Mathmos offer that are no longer available for purchase? Also, do you by chance know the original color combination that Mathmos offered? I am assuming it was violet/red? Lots of questions I know. Try to answer back, thanks!<br />

Didn't Mathmos offer a clear/turquoise astro lamp though? Did they change the formula for the heritage ones or is it the same?<br />

If you take a 40 Watt bulb in a silver Base toped with a heritage bottle, you need a dimmer!<br />
Or you have to take a smaller Watt! Try a 30 Watt spot, like in a baby or a 25 Watt clear bulb!<br />
