"Why not get in touch with them? I’ll be doing the same (again)

No need to take it lying down, so to speak. 

I basically have a ‘standard letter’ for faulty bottles at this point."

"Bottle no. 2 (replacement) looking like it may be a non-runner. :- /Anyone had the fortune to recieve a defect free bottle?
"

"Anyone else received their bottle yet?

Mine turned up today, inside of bottle full of streaks/ smears. Joy.

Think there’s any chance of a ‘like for like’ exchange on a limited run bottle …?"

"Remember the early Mathmos website with its funky retro theme, original characters (Mathmos Man, etc.) they later had a ‘Mathmos Modern’ sub-section which had a more clean/ streamlined appearance and covered the new generation product…"

"Seems to be leaning towards clear/pink so far on the Facebook comment chain as well

‘standard’ blue wax tends to be dark/ gloomy and not very vibrant looking, disappointed as I briefly thought it was pink/ turquoise, which I think would…"

"Leaning towards clear/pink, also concerned blue/ pink, though looks nice backlit, would probably be too dark in normal ‘ambience’ 

On a side note, have they stopped the etched logos on the bottles? Noticed their absence on the video."

But would eco some of the concerns with it…"

"What appears to be an ‘open’ section of the base did first make me think it may be candle powered, but as above, this didn’t seem to stack up with it appearing to be an Astrobaby/ Neo type bottle, unless they’ve tweaked the…"

"Like the idea of a more energy efficient lamp - there was a thread running a while back (which since seems to have disappeared) where we were contemplating the future of lava lamps in the age of impending climate doom and spiralling energy…"

"Perhaps a new candle-based lamp is fitting, might find ourselves reading by candlelight in the coming winter :-\"

"Thanks, would like to revisit this as some point, and ‘experiment’ with some non-standard colours - was going to try and make a metallic/ chrome version. 

My AutoCAD license has expired now though :-("

"the exact same shape of the green and white blob should've made me suspicious though :)"

"Look great though...has a somewhat ghostly feel to it."
