Was going through my box of instruction manuals earlier looking for something when I came across the instructions for my Glitterbaby, my first ever Mathmos lamp. Why they are not in the box for the lamp I have no idea, had a flick through and I've got the receipt for when I bought it, was the 11th July 1998 and I paid £39.95, also enclosed is a small booklet showing some of the Mathmos range at the time including the Lunar, if only I had known then what I do now!

Have just unpacked my new Mathmos Telstar lamp that arrived today and im very disapointed, not with the lamp itself thats all fine but it doesnt have a UK mains plug fitted but a two prong euro one! Im sure its a genuine mistake but until Mathmos confirm back to me that cutting off and replacing the plug wont affect the warranty i cant run the lamp :( and this is their most expensive lava lamp too! Very disapointed!

Well spoke to Mathmos today about some custom bottles for my Lunar, wasnt expecting anything as i have read on here that they wont be doing any more until the new year. Well amazingly they said yes no problem and i'll be able to have them with a couple of weeks, so my orders been placed and now i just have to wait! Really excited that i'll have them in time for christmas :) Maybe its down to the person you speak to so if anyone wants a custom Lunar bottle give them a ring and see what they say.
