How do you fill the globes?

I turn on the water to a slow stream. Then tilt stem under the water. Make sure the water goes in slowly so air has a chance to leave globe while water goes in.

I turn them with the opening completely facing up and the bulb slightly lifted upward and since I have 5 large ones and 6 small ones this has proven to be the easiest and fastest way to fill them.

I used the ceiling light as the sun, but if the planets are being placed in an area without one, some ideas would be: an old beach ball, or other small kids ball (check the dollar store), or paper mache one using a balloon. Anything round would work if its light and can be painted.

I gave the globe as a gift and so I cannot answer your question. I have not seen it in a year.

What is the globe? One of the glass inserts? I don't know that if that is what you are asking.

You have to add either your own sand or water - no both. Use a funnel to fill it.

Can't speak to the globe style. I'm using the blunt tip and it works perfectly.

I figured it out--for MY fan, anyway. The globe is held in place by three "tension clips" that hang down and press outward on the globe, to hold it in place. You have to firmly grasp the globe and wiggle it downward, ensuring you hang on to the thing positively, so you don't drop it. For someone a bit fearful, this might be a two person job, one to grasp the fan housing and hold it steady, the other to pull firmly on the globe and wriggle it free. If you do it once, you'll never forget! I put a flourescent candleabra bulb (it had a double base on it, the wide and the small--and my fan takes the small) and screwed that firmly into the fixture. I was 'just' able to fit the globe back on. It's probably the only thing that doesn't thrill me about this fan--otherwise, I like it.

We actually have two of these exact Space Challenge Maze Globes. My 13 year-old maze ball expert just showed me how the small metal ball moves smoothly around path 32 on both globes. No sticking here. My son further noted an indention that allows for assured clearance on his spheres. Perhaps your piece doesn't have the necessary indention.

I would measure the mouth of the lamp where the globe will fit it. Does this make sense? The narrow part of where the globe will fit. You can measure inside the circle and outside the circle. I would ask the measurements from whoever is selling the globe. I hope this helps!

Smaller pots. Saturate your plant first, then insert filled globe. It will water your plant for about a week in 4" pots.

Yes, although when I refill the globes I dislodge the soil. Your soil was probably damp when you took the globe out. I leave them in until the globe is empty.

The globe was a gift that I gave a year ago, so I am unable to answer your question.

About the right amount, relative to the size of the globe. You can see the raised places from several feet away. Hope this helps.

you had to attach the three parts of the pole (screwing one into the next) and then set the globe on top before inserting a bulb. Very simple. I put it together on the floor, then stood it upright.

There's a button on the side of the lid. You push the button in and the TOP of the lid pops open and then you can lift the diffuser out to fill. Would have been much simpler if the instructions were on the outside rather than in the diffuser where they can't be accessed until you figure it out!

I have discovered that too, depending on the soil-- I usually take a chopstick and clear it out to let the water flow more freely. If it keeps happening, I would suggest taking the chopstick to create a spot in the soil to insert the globe so you don't have to push through the dirt, causing it to lodge inside the tube (as much).

Thanks for your question, Here's alist of available globes with differing measurements:
