Mathmos Lunar Rocket tips

by Gavin

Jun 30

Hello Fellow gooers,

I have a lovely Mathmos Lunar that I have slowly been refurbishing. Wiring and dimmer switch have been replaced and runs perfectly. One thing that is annoying me is the pointed tip is now missing. My daughter managed to unscrew it and it been lost for months now. Anyone know of reproductions being done? Mathmos are un-interested...

I also have a spare bottle, tempted to be brave and re-fill it. Currently have the standard green.

Thanks, Gavlaar.

    Thanks for the link Lamp Caretaker, I'll just have to keep looking.

    There was a chap in the Netherlands reproducing the tips but looks like he's stopped...

    I have asked Mathmos for the measurements of the tip but brick wall there!

    Seem to be a common problem Modulo!

    If it's any consolation, my one and only Lunar is also Bullet Tip free. I think this is because it was on public display in a medical centre waiting room many years ago. Bought it for a steal but would love the pointy bit for it. I have seen them on sale on E-bay and they normally go for about £45- £50.

    Hello Gooers, 

    I have managed to get the tip measurements for the Mathmos Lunar & and local engineering firm to reproduce. I will collect it on Friday. I'll put some pictures up over the weekend. Now the program has been set in the machinery, more can be produced and cheaper! I'll get prices together incase anyone else wants one.
