"I've got the blue/blue iO and it's really good - not too dark at all - as has also been said the flow is amazing, since they're so much bigger diameter you get much more interesting and complex flow patterns - a pure joy to watch. the…"
"Mathmos have told me blue/turquoise will be back in stock on 5th August."
"Teal/Turquoise they use to do alot lighter blue/blue is dark always been like that I don't think it's avaliable anymore as they did discontinued all the blue/blue colours not long back there only like 3 colours in rokit or lunar now"

Great movement though - the Mathmos blue is always their most regal flow - enjoy!"
Mathmos blue-turquoise bottle: Is it very dark?
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
"Looks like they've heard people saying "Bring back the Lunar". It's basically the same idea."
"Clearly based on the Princess"
"I struggled to justify buying one of the First100 iOs, but I did.
At £2,500, I don't think I can justify this :-("

"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…"
"Got mine today!"

- 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.
