Lava Lamp 2125, Yellow Wax, Purple Liquid, Silver Base and Cap, Original 14.5 inch LAVA Motion Lamp to Illuminate Your Mood

Having had an original MATHMOS "Blob Lamp" in the seventies, I was after a newer version for a retro 70's project I am currently building. Having read some of the scathing reviews for this product I was a little reluctant to buy this Lava Lamp, however after un packing,scrutinising, and eventually switching on I was delighted. Switched at 01.00. pm and in 90 minutes first activity, and after 2 hours working perfectly, left working for 5 hours and switched off. Next day on at 08.00. am, switched on and working perfectly after 90 mins. I don't see how this product will deteriorate after a months, unless you run it continuously. My original MATHMOS lasted 6 years, but I only used it maybe a couple of times a week, and it was operated in a cold bedroom with no central heating ( This was in the 70's ) I am wondering if the malfunction is due to over use, and not understanding the simple laws of thermal dynamics this lamp works by. If it is operated in a comfortable warm room, it will take longer to warm up and become active as the internal liquids will already be at the same temperature, and to create a thermal differential could take a long time. It must be left alone to create this differential, and I am sure it will give years of pleasure. Once it is operating "Leave it alone" it will get very hot, and if left on all day it will "Boil" the colour out of the internal coloured liquid, only use it for a few hours a day, as it was meant to be used, and enjoy the wonder of Thermal Dynamics.

Was a little wary having read some reviews, but needn't have worried. I put the bulb in,switched it on, and within 2 hours had a beautiful relaxing lava lamp. I was a little worried initially as I could see no signs of any wax blobs whatsoever, but eventually there they were! The colour of the liquid and wax blobs shown are accurate,and I haven't suffered any cloudiness. If you've always fancied a lava lamp like me,go for this,at the price it's great value for money.

The lamp I ordered didn't work. When I turned it on the light just flickered and died. The bulb was burned, so I ordered a new one, put it in, but it still didn't work, so it must've short circuit it or something. The replacement lamp already came in and it works just fine, but the website to contact the seller on the Amazon return page doesn't load.

Cool!

Very cloudy, can’t see anything. After two weeks it hasn’t got any better

Fantastic, no idea why you'd pay more for the same thing, this works brilliantly

We Love our Lava Lamp BUT Sadly the Bulb Blew the 2nd time we turned it on ...then had trouble finding a shop/ DIY store that stocks this little tiny bulb for the lamp !! They are pretty Difficult to install the bulb Best tp uses a tissue holding the bulb incase it breaks as it is a tight fit....We did find the bulbs on Anazon and ordered some ....Question is Why did the bulb fitting in the lamp have to change to these bulbs instead we like the normal fitting better much easier to change the bulb

The lamp is great, the only problem being that I received 4 lamps instead of 1. Tried to contact through order details to send the extra 3 back but can’t find a link.

I love it so much

This lava lamp has met my expectations in every way....great value for the budget price!

Love itt Had those as a kid Works perfectly ( it take a couple hours for the wax to melt and start moving)

Don’t by please it will be broken so fast ! I refubded the item 2 times. And always the same issue

Very disappointed. The color wasn't even close to purple and yellow I've ordered. And the liquid was not transparent, so I couldn't see anything. Definitely not recommend it.
