Fantastic line up of lamps and fibre lamps.

Thanks guys!

For me, one of the fun parts of collecting is periodically rearranging lamps to create new displays.

Most of my displays typically last no more than a year before I get bored with them and then it becomes time to move things around!

My only display that has not changed any over the years is my Icon collection.

Lamp moving time also becomes lamp cleaning/polishing time.

The Tempo sprays are near mint as I have been their only owner.

It's very important to use the nicest spray possible to make a fiber optic lamp appear its best!

This is especially true for a model like the Tempo because of the unusual color wheel that it uses.

Your not going to see the colors nicely unless you use a very full spray with it.

Finding full glass sprays in great condition can be quite a challenge these days!

The best way to do it is to purchase lamps NIB whenever possible.

My current challenge is to find a new LED bulb to use with my Fantasia Omni that will safely increase its brightness.

The last LED bulb I tried failed, but i will keep looking.

This type of LED bulb will make a Fantasia Tempo, Love Bug, Alpha, and a Cuda Galaxy, Harmony, and Satellite, all appear significantly brighter -

Interesting fact =  A Fantasia Cosmic Window and a Fantasia Tempo use the exact same type/size of lid which means the bases have the same diameter.

The Fantasia Tempo and Omni are the only fiber optic lamp models that I know of that have color sleeves in their bases that rotate.

Superb assembly and layout (no wires!) - and first-rate lamp quality as always

Love the sprays on those Tempo's
