How do we make a Mathmos Astro/Astrobaby Lava lamp? - Mathmos Production movie

[telemannNnyc]

I soOO wished I had known about Mathmos a long time ago. I've ordered several Lava Lites from Amazon. Nearly every single one of them is defective. Most of them arrive with cloudy water, and despite the packing slip statement that this is normal, and goes away with a few days use, it never remedies itself. I just purchased the Lava Grande from Amazon and ...my heart sank, the minute I opened the box, cloudy water. Thank god Amazon has a great return policy. When I get my refund I'm going Mathmos

@stinkfist0700 Try the Mathmos us website, its the official Mathmos U.S.A website and online store! Note that everything you buy on the U.S site is Made in the U.K, as it is for the U.K website!

Mathmos are simply the BEST there is.

My mother still has her polished copper ones from the early 1970s!

The colour-changing one is simply awesome!

You can keep your Chinese-made rubbish ; I prefer British-made QUALITY.

Great video. The metal spinners are truely artists. Why, though, did the second metal spinner not have his safety glasses on? C'mon man, you're better than that! Be safe.

Ok, so when will you guys start shipping to the U.S.? Really would like to get the Telstar Rocket lamp. Love your products. Too bad you can't get any of my pocket change though.

Ah now I know why the price is higher.

Stunning quality! Hand-filled globes, hand-spun bases! Amazing. Mathmos, keep on bein' the king of modern, electric lava lamps.

@JonasClark and king of tealight powered lava lamps

[JonasClark]

@TheFlyingPineapple Which is actually borrowed from Lava Lite. Back in the 60s and early 70s, when Lava Corporation made high-quality lamps, about a quarter of Lava's models were loosely based on Crestworth models. Back then, the two had a polite relationship. But the Fireflow is the first reverse borrow: between 1966 and 1970, Lava Corp. made the Continental and Savoy, the world's only non-electric, candle-powered lava lamps... until now. The old ones are rare and fetch a lot of $.

You see? Mathmos really care about the quality of their product. Lava Lite USA makes their shit in China with inferior cheap materials so you end up with a cloudy lava lamp. Buy Mathmos and you are buying quality.

@SUPERDOOPERTUBER how do i get one? they are only sold in the UK

[telemannNnyc]

@SUPERDOOPERTUBER

Yeah, I'm convinced. I've ordered several Lava Lites from Amazon, nearly 3/4 of them had cloudy water out of the box, or the lava didn't work properly. I'm so over it. I'm ordering one from the British company.

[joeblowthehot]

WOW thats really good!! Ihave been very disappointed with the USA LAVA LITE company as of late..bought a Grande lamp..it arrived cloudy..sent it back.. next one cloudy..sent it back.. next one cloudy....what a bunch of CRAP!!! Iam am going to buy British from now on!!!

I just LOVE lava lamps! - I love indirect lighting.

Got an orange and white Fluidium, unfortunately the liquid isn't transparent anymore - it's cloudy due to transportation :-(

There are no bottles for the orange and white ones anymore :-((

Anyone got an advice how to make the liquid transparent again? Some say that letting the lamp run one week non-stop with an 100W bulb (not 40W as reccomended) would divide the mixed liquids again. Anyone can affirm that?

Thanks very much!

[johnreynolds71]

@SoeurJacQui i wouldnt recommend running your fluidium with a 100 watt bulb for a week as id say the base would scorch or possibly melt, ive heard with the u.s lava lamps that they clear up with use, but there fluids and wax are different, there are filter pumps on the market which will clear the fluid, or look on ebay for a new bottle.

all lava lamps state the recommended time use i.e - 6 hours or 8 hours but that depends on room tempiture

[beretta911]

No sound?!?

[rich3500]

How does the guy filling the wax know how much to put in? It looks like he is judging it by eye so it is half way up the first part of the bottle, i.e. mid way between the bottom and the angle, am I right?

[errewete]

@rich3500 it's automatically always the same doses

[grumm70]

If the cloth grips on the spindle it will take your hand off specialy if the revs are low, it will have plenty of torgue and you wont be able to stop it, cloth and any moving part has no buisness being together

[grumm70]

bad idea using a rag wile its spinning

[109usofkongsberg]

why?
