Great can't wait to see some pictures!
Can you guys post pictures/ maybe Youtube videos of the lamps as they come in the box, and as you remove them, showing the packaging and the wiring, etc.? That would be VERY useful for the other members here on the forum. Hopefully we can learn the best way to purchase these from Mathmos, and also what is necessary to rewire the lamps if folks want to do that. Thanks!
sure will. Mine is just getting to Forward2me today, so will still be a while. I don't plan on re-wiring immediately. I want to see the flow as intended by Mathmos before I rewire.
I've got 5 on the way from various places, so I'll require the one I like the least. ;) In the meantime, I've got these waiting:

The Mathmos telstar I got from lights.com is already wired to US, but it runs to hot. My dimmers should be getting to me today, so I'm hoping I can dial that one in. I'm a little suspect on the bottle though. (that it might not be Mathmos) I'll be posting pictures later today.
cheers,

This is all great info! I want an assortment of astro bottles.
Big bummer to hear the USA telstars from lights.com have not-so-impressive bottles and run hot/need a dimmer. Are they *choke* cloudy? I've been contemplating getting one for some time. They were offering blue/green (only) for around $50 at one point. I figured they'd be perfect.
Alright, packages made it to Forward2me, and have already been shipped from there to me in the states. So, assuming they make it to me, I paid a total of $62 for shipping for an Astro, and 2 packs of 3 light bulbs.
Call me paranoid, but shouldn't we keep this "UnderCover Brother" ?
Their staff may run across 'this thread' while surfing and put an end to it ?
Putting on tin foil hat
You mean Mathmos staff, right? I really don't think it's any different than having Mathmos ship the lamp to a UK friend, and they ship it on to us.
We just all have a new UK friend now in Forward2Me!
Wearing tin foil. Pinching myself. This is good.
I have preliminary tracking number from 'them'
We will refer to them as 'them'
But no depot scan. I'm excited !
I had to call my cc company and add my new uk addy to the card. (temporary; for a few hours)
I had to call my cc company to tell them I was buying in the uk. (temporary; for a few hours)
I live in the USA so fraud protection kicked in.
Ten phone calls to the cc company and two website declines later; SCORE !
