<p>I had no idea the Smart Astro even existed, and it sounds perfect for today's market where incandescent and halogen lamps are slowly being phased out.</p>

<p>I missed the first production run of these.</p>
<p>Does anyone know when the 2nd batch will be available for sale?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Will they be the same? Any improvements, etc.?</p>

<p>They are very expensive :(</p>

Hi MyFriendGoo!<br />
We ship the lamps in boxes marked 'This Way Up' and 'Fragile' although it can never be guaranteed that the courier adheres to the request.<br />
Shipping to the US takes 1 day to the East Coast and 2 days to other areas. Costs are lower than they used to be - approx £24.99 for an Astro and £34 ish for two. If you ever want to see how much something would cost, you can just add it to the cart and select the US from the drop-down country list. No obligation to go ahead at that stage so…

They flow better after a few runs. I wasn't sure about our lamps at first. But, after three or four runs they were flowing better. All but one bottle which was forming lots of tiny bubbles no matter which base I tried it on.<br />
<br />
I'm really hoping that these lamps will be OK, I'm really pleased with them now, so much so I went back to purchase another one.<br />
<br />
Regards the gap around the bottle, I've got a very small gap between the bottle and base on one of the lamps. The others there's no gap.

I think it was a combination of the cold weather and the newness of the lamp. Hope I don't have any problems like everyone else.
