Replacement fluid for living jewel

Hi All, I have recently picked up a living jewel where the liquid appears to have taken on a greenish hue. It runs really well and you don't really notice the discolouration when it is on, but when…Continue

"I returned my clear/white one due to cloudy fluid, apparently they're going to be sending my replacement now so hopefully will be able to give it a go soon."

"Hi Arne, sounds good but the motor/gear assembly for the Galaxy is 0.5 rpm (or 1R2M as it says on the back of the motor). Do you happen to have one of those please? Cheers!"

"Thanks Andy - I'll keep my eyes open for a replacement motor assembly. I love the gradual transition between colours so don't think the programmable LED is an option for me. I bought this lamp knowing that the colour change wasn't…"

"it's a regular problem with these lamps, I'm sorry to say - and always the gearbox So these parts are virtually unobtainable now... I believe some skilled and painstaking collectors have managed to repair them themselves, but the usual way…"

Crestworth Galaxy Gearbox

Hi All,I know it's not gooey but perhaps someone will have one... I'm looking for a gearbox (that sits directly on top of the motor that drives the colour change disk) for a Crestworth Galaxy, one the cogs in mine has gone brittle and snapped. I'll take a whole motor / gearbox assembly if preference is not to separate. I'm based in the UK but happy to buy from abroad; please let me know what you have and cost.Thanks!See More

Hunter glitter strands clumping and sticking

Hi All, recently purchased a Hunter lamp with the strands of glitter. I have 4 Crestworth Glitterlites and 4 Living Jewels, but this is my first Hunter. Upon receipt I noticed that there was a fair amount of the strands stuck to the sides of the bottle which don't appear to want to shift (haven't tried shaking!), and when I run it, most of the floating strands tend to gradually clump together. Will a few cycles remedy this or is there another technique I ought to try? Cheers!See More

Replacement fluid for living jewel

Hi All, I have recently picked up a living jewel where the liquid appears to have taken on a greenish hue. It runs really well and you don't really notice the discolouration when it is on, but when it is off, it looks 'mucky' next to my other ones. None of my other ones has done this so I don't know if the new one has been exposed to environmental conditions it didn't much like, or whether the fluid in this lamp was switched out for a home brew at some point... Either way, I just wondered if…See More

"Lovely items - I'd be interested in both of them if you came to sell, but suspect getting them to the UK would make it prohibitive."
