"in my experience, yeah it's always been pretty dark I have (had?) a blue/blue Lunar and you could barely see it without some kind of light background Great movement though - the Mathmos blue is always their most regal flow - enjoy!"

I'm a big Mathmos collector and I'm considering by a Rokit for my collection.The blue-turquoise combination looks cool. I'm just wondering if it's very dark and you can barely see the lava? I have a Neo in violet/turquoise and I find it quite dark tbh.See More

perishingtardis replied to perishingtardis's discussion Clear vs frosted bulb
"Hi Laurie in 2021! What I've found over the past few years is that bulbs vary between brands anyway, i.e., a 30W bulb from one company could be hotter than a 30W bulb from another company. And unfortunately, lava lamps are very sensitive to…"

"I'm reading this in 2021... I always had frosted bulbs a few years ago I replaced with clear.. I could tell it was hotter, now it's, making a lot of bubbles. I was told to try a dimmer, I don't have yet, maybe a new base. It's…"

Hi there and welcome to Oozing Goo. I've had trouble with these Mathmos bulbs. One blew after just a handful of runs (copper heritage Astro) the other one fared far worse still, just 20 minutes or less (new Astro metallic). None too impressed although Mathmos did kindly send some replacement bulbs.
