Mathmos Tuba in White is a brand new horn-shaped, illuminated, blown glass, colour changing, sound and motion activated lighting sculpture!

The white Mathmos Tuba creates the illusion of not really knowing whether the central space has depth or not. What looks like a solid illuminated disc in the center is actually an open space, a void, that is brightly illuminated. The sculpture actually senses your hand entering this void and changes the colour or the current function.

Alternatively, the Mathmos Tuba can be set to react to music, morphing through the colour spectrum changing sequence along with the "beat" to your favourite music.

Mathmos Tubas create a unique ambience wherever they are placed, and is sure to become a talking point at your shindigs and soirees. In fact, buy one of these amazing little lights and we guarantee you’ll be unable to resist gawping at it on a daily, even hourly basis.

The Mathmos Tuba is 21cms in diameter by 20 cms deep.

Available in White, Silver or Black glass the Mathmos Tuba is a bit special!

Setup and position :

· Ideally Tuba should be placed within metre of a loudspeaker to get the best sound-to-light response
· Place Tuba on flat, stable surface - it weighs about 2KG
· Plug the power supply to your wall socket and the cable with round plug into your Tuba power socket, which is on the underside of the Tuba

Operation of the Mathmos Tuba:

1. Hold your hand vertically and briefly pass it into the space in Tuba
· Tuba will flash blue to recognise your command to turn on
· Tuba will automatically enter 'Faze' mode
· Tuba will gradually and randomly change colour
2. Place your hand briefly into the now coloured recess
· Tuba will flash red to recognise your command to move to Music Mode
· Tuba will change colour to the beat in your music or to sound around it
· If the Tuba is changing colour to quickly or too slowly you can adjust volume sensitivity (see below)
3. EITHER Place your hand briefly in the light space
Tuba will flash blue to recognise your command to change back to Faze mode
4. OR, Place your hand in the light space for two seconds
Tuba will flash green to recognise your command to turn off
· You may also enter step 4 direct from step 2
· Avoid touching the back of the opening when activating, as this may mark the product, diminishing the light effect.

Adjusting to different volume levels:

· Tuba can be adjusted to react to different sound volumes. A dial is positioned on the back at the top of the lamp. As viewed from the back, move the dial clockwise to make Tuba sensitive to loud noise and anti-clockwise to make it sensitive to quieter noise.
· When you are making the adjustment, make sure you are in Music Mode

Cleaning :

· Clean the external glass only with a non-abrasive damp cloth with a small amount of detergent
