For all my UK ramen enjoyers - Lidl currently have Shin Red for 89p with Lidl plus card. I’ll be going back later to fill my boots some more 😂

Hi all, had this clock a few years - put it together Christmas 2023, used everyday since. Recently it’s not been saving the time when being plugged back in, couldn’t remember if it had a battery inside & took it apart to check.

On putting it back together the second digit would flicker when on 2 and a few other numbers. Plugged it back in today and that digit is now completely dead. Not sure if it’s purely coincidence that it’s happened since I took the case off or not.

Is the tube dead or is there something else going on? Really quite upset as I love this clock 🤦‍♂️

Hi all, is there any advice on this without filtering? I know with Schylling lamps there’s a cycling procedure that’s recommended but before spending the hours I wondered if this worked with Mathmos too.

All my other lamps have a slight cloudiness to them when cold, but they clear up when at operating temp - this doesn’t, at least on the 1 run I’ve put on it.

Bought this Rolling Stones lamp on Vinted advertised as “new and unused” which was clearly bullshit as it’s now the cloudiest lamp I own - missing bulb & the box had an eBay label on it addressed to the person I bought it from, further confirming it was bought to use.

These lamps released last November though, how much of a hammering will it have taken to look like this in such a short time?

Does anyone have any experience with this? Looks to be a renamed Schylling - “Tinc Blob Lamp”. Bought it as not working, thought cool I’ll change the bulb - nope, the cap and based are glued on! 😂😂

After one of my previous posts about my violet/turquoise Rokit having wax stick to the side of the bottle, I emptied the whole thing out and re-poured the wax & liquid, only for it to start sticking again after a couple of uses.

Decided screw it and changed the whole lot for clear/plum. This has 4 Astro bottles of wax in it & 3 Astro’s of liquid. No sticking so far (2 runs ~11 hours) although I did have a hairy moment at the ~5 hour mark where the wax came detached from one side of the coil and floated/rolled round in a blob on one side. Turned off and let it settle for a minute to fix, hopefully doesn’t happen again 😂😂

Hi all, got this messed up (but boxed) 1998 Astro Baby off eBay and I’m conflicted on how to go about restoring it, I have a lot of lamps so the plan was the fix it up for fun and sell it.

Should I return it to blue/green as it was originally or do something different like a violet/green or blue/orange?
