Hey, everybody.  I got my second generation Smart Astro yesterday. I ordered it from electric planet out of the UK and had it shipped to my home in Canada which took five days in total – – quite fast in my opinion!  The total cost for the Iamp including shipping, duties, customs, and taxes, was about USD $215 and worth every penny of it!

yeah, I think it costs a little bit more to get them from the UK to Canada because of all the extra duties and taxes Canada charges (totaling about $38 in my case).  Also, I found out that you do not need a transformer for the smart Astro because it has one built into the power cord (like a laptop) but you do need a UK to US/Canada plug converter.

Cool, so glad you got one John. You won't be dissapointed. They look fab and the flow is awesome.

I would love to see pics of the Blue to Green phasing when on as this is the newer color combo if I am right...

Timothy, what transformer do you use?  I was thinking that it would just be a simple DC power supply because it running LEDs and all.  Please LMK Thanks!

 

I ordered two earlier this week.  Got a call from customs and have to fill out a bunch of paperwork because the order exceeded $250.

So whats the status on everyones 2nd run smart astro? Any die yet? I want to get a smart astro soon, but only if it wont die on me.

Mine is doing just fine.  I've had it for several months now and still my only complaint is that the lava seems to break up into small bubbles after just running for just six hours or so.  Other than that, it's great!

[Gandhiman]

Got mine in november, direct from Mathmos, lava was ugly, bubbly and grainy, looks better over time though, short runtime is a minus, it overheats quickly, about 5 hours running, the lava disintegrates into hundreds of small blobs. The led´s have f...ed up, so mine won´t color-change anymore, only shows a greenish. Really weird is that occasionally, very seldomly, it actuallly does colorchange, although in a wobbly kind of way. Still working, although in a disabled kind of way. All in all I´m disappointed with this lamp, paid 125 euro for it. Should return it really...
