"Yeah exactly, the black and copper versions seemed to be the last with the evenly spaced legs too. Shame they stopped doing that. But the cap on that one does take some balancing dosnt it :-D."

GU10 Mathmos Telstar - Stuck Bulb
Hi AllAll of my GU10 Telstars have stuck bulbs, has anyone else had this issue? I've tried litrally everything. Sometimes they get stuck stright away, sometimes I can change the bulb once or twice before thet get stuck in the base. I've seen a couple of reviews on Amazon saying the same so I guess it happens but all of mine are useless at the moment :(. Thanks for any help! See More

"It is a really dark bottle but I kind of like that. Still might do some colour swaps also. Yellow/orange is the brightest but probably my least favourite. "

"I’m really not enjoying this colour. Far too dark! I’ve ordered a yellow and orange bottle do I can swap the liquids. Have the turquoise in yellow liquid and orange wax in the pink liquid."
