## Description

MATHMOS Telstar (Black-Blue/Green) : desertcart.co.uk: Lighting

Review: I wish I had bought two. They are the best lamp. - Looks better than expected and is stunning. Packed it back home (vast distances across the ocean) and the Telstar is working very well so far. Packed with care and much better quality than other lamps in my collection. Easy pick up at the post office. Looks better than pictures can show. Update: no problems with bulb.
Review: Fantastic service - well designed and great quality. Just the best ! - This is my first Lava Lamp. I was not sure how good it would be but i really liked the idea and having read reviews on various brands available opted for the Mathmos. Some other brands just seem cheep and cheerful and likely to be dangerous or fall apart - probably both reading many of the reviews. Anyway this is a present for my son in Hospital and there will be a lot of effort to get it to him with planes, trains, boats and autombilles so last thing i wanted was for it to break within a few days of getting it there. I therefore played safe and whilst it is more expensive opted for the Telstar given the quality and robustness everyone seems to report. I have had it running around 4 hours now and feel compelled to write a review (i buy loads from desertcart but rarely if ever write reviews). Well what can i say. Wow it's just fantastic. It's excellent quality, a great design and it looks like it will last for years and years. It's just what i wanted and i'm so pleased i found this on desertcart. It works really very well. So much better than i expected it to and it makes me smile every time i turn it on. Give it an hour or so in a warm room and its fabulous. I like the fact i can buy a replacement glass bottle or different colour without needing a whole new lamp. Really pleased its made in Britain as well. As said this one is for my son in Hospital and will help him relax and cheer him up but im sure i will be buying another for my daughter soon. Great service. Ordered on Monday late evening. Despatched following morning. Arrived Thursday to Isle of Man. For mainland delivery it would have been a day quicker. Cant recomend highly enough.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is fab!

This is just great. Lovely to watch. A cool, relaxing bedside lamp. Also Mathmos were very helpful providing new bulbs free of charge when the two original ones blew quite soon after purchasing.
