| Comet | Model: 1000 | A simple yet classic tub Fantasia fiber optic lamp design with a black base and silver upper and end caps. |
| Comet Teak | Model: 1000T | A take on the Comet design featuring a beautiful Teak finish on the cylindrical base. |
| Love Bug | Model: 1001 | An inexpensive Fantasia design that featured a card tube base with a funky disco squares effect. This design has also been seen in a gold version. |
| Rainbow Bug | Model: 1001R | A Fantasia design that featured a card tube base and circular lines in rainbow colours. Often confused for the taller Fiesta (1004) model which features chrome end caps, the Rainbow Bug (1001R) features black plastic end caps just like the Love Bug (1001) model. |
| Love Lite / Star Lite | Model: 1002 | A budget model that is one of the smallest Fantasia lamps. This design features a colourful stripe base that is sandwiched between two metal parts. No colour changing and no rotation. Red, blue, yellow and white versions of Love Lite aka Star Lite have been seen. However still very cool! |
| Fiesta | Model: 1004 | Designed for the disco era, this beautiful take on the Comet features bands of colours that give it an unmistakable base design. Why not take a look at it under UV light? |
| Alpha | Model: 1050 | A classic design with soft curved lines that melt to form a base. Also seen in a gold version. |
| Omni | Model: 1500 | A sophisticated model that features a complex cut out base, that houses a revolving colourful dish, to create a simply stunning effect when illuminated. |
| Tempo | Model: 1600 | A dazzling design that has a base that is perhaps more interesting than the fiber optic spray. We love the diagonal cut outs that shimmer with colour moving within. |
| Sprite | Model: 2000 | Tubular design in an option of different finishes. |
| Galaxy | Model: 2001 | Just like a UFO, Galaxy by Fantasia places the spray first and the base of the lamp second to create a beautiful galaxy of light dots that just levitates off the surface of where it is the placed upon. |
| Sunburst | Model: 4000 | Many iterations of this have been seen including a black version - A stunning giant ball lamp that features a giant spray. |
| Ecstasy | Model: 4001 | Height 14", 5-color wheel, air-cooled tungsten lamp, rotating glass fiber spray. |
| Centurion | Model: 4002 | Height 19", air-cooled tungsten lamp, 5-color wheel, glass fiber spray. |
| New Star | Model: 4004 | A minimal design that is simply a polished tube design with a spray. |
| Ultra | Model: 4007 | Futuristic white with chrome rim design which sits in a two piece interlocking clear plastic base. |
| Regency | Model: 4100 | Tub metallic base model with ornate grill like detailing on the base and a giant spray. Part of Fantasia's Giant fiber optic designs. |
| Cosmos | Model: 5000 | The Rolls Royce of all fiber optic lamps, featuring a floor standing design that houses a giant design encased in a clear sphere. |
| Solar 1 | Model: 5001 | A stunning highly polished UFO base with a giant Fantasia fiber optic spray. We particularly love how the base reflects the dots of light emitted from the fiber tips. |
