LAVA 2700 Lamp, 14.5-inches, Multicolor

One year later and I’m still absolutely in love with this lamp! The product photos honestly don’t do it justice because the colors are so vibrant and stunning. That being said I finally decided to write a review since I was already on Amazon shopping for a new lightbulb for it anyway as it just went out. But the bulb lasted exactly one year since I first ordered it which is better than expected. And that’s with daily usage of about 10 to sometimes 12 hours a day that I have it on for. It still flows perfectly too that was until the light went out yesterday of course. However, if you do have any issues with having the lava flow correctly note that it could be because your place or the room you have it in could be too cold... I notice this any time I turn my ceiling fan on. When the fan isn’t on the lava flows as it should. But during the summer when I occasionally turn the fan on then the lava will get stuck and not move at all. Then once I finally turn it off and give my lamp about an hour to heat up again then it’s fine. So just something to keep in mind! But definitely worth the purchase! I’ll be buying a new lightbulb now, which shouldn’t be too much. I just hope I can find one as good as the one it came with!

The media could not be loaded. I bought this to change my lava lamp bottle for a different design. I love the look of it and I didn't bother in using the black design to plug it in since I have my other one that is silver. My other lava lamp was a blue dyed water with white wax. What's amazing this one has a design with clear wax. I did use the new bulb that came with this lamp and apparently does work great. Also because, there have been reviews from some unlucky costumers that got unworkable bulbs. Otherwise this Lava Lamp is great. Remember customers, it takes 2 - 3 hours for the lava to flow. It sometimes can be more hours depending on your room temperatureEdit: Had the lamp for more than 9 months and the lamp still works perfectly. There were some nights I had my lamp on for more than 8 hours and it still lava flows beautifully, there is a video that I put for those who want to see it! :)

I received the lamp but I saw that the base was bent, so I asked immediately for a replacement. Everything else seemed to be ok. The new one arrived shortly (to Chile) but with a dead bulb. I replaced the one from the other box, purchased a step-down voltage thing and then the lamp worked, but only forming pillars and worms… Is autumn here now, so the lamp never reaches the minimum temperature; 22°C in the room is the ideal I think, and I’m at 19 at the most. I wrapped the glass with aluminum foil for a couple of hours until it reached 52°C (measured with an infrared thermometer). Now is glowing and moving fluently. So, two things you must have: patience and a room over 22°C.Amazon customer service worked perfectly, this was a birthday present for my wife and they managed to send me the new lamp in just three days. Thanks!

I like this lava lamp. It looks nice and works well. It took about 3 hours to fully heat up the first time and start working as you would expect a lava lamp to, but lava lamps tend to start slow and heat up a little bit faster each time you turn it on from then so that is fine. The only things that I don't like are as follows:1) As you can see in the picture, there is a bit of white residue on the inside of the glass near the bottom that I don't think will come off. Regardless, I can live with this as the rest of it still looks very cool.2) The bulb socket was a little bent as it arrived, so the bulb does not screw in completely straight but a bit diagonal. So far this doesn't seem to be causing any issues and I will only be using the lava lamp when I am in the room with it, so I don't think this will be any type of inherent hazard.And to all buyers, make sure the coil is completely facing the bottom, not the top. I think a lot of the people saying their lamp won't work even after hours of having it on just have their coil in the wrong spot. I have not had to replace the bulb the lamp came with as some others have done, it works fine for me as is.

I have wanted one of these for many years finally got around to buying one. I received it today after I made sure the defuser was flat on the bottom put the bulb in set the globe in the stand put the top on plugged it in and just waited that's the key is waiting after about four and a half hours it's working just as I remember back in the 70s. The manual also said it would take less time to warm up the more you use it. Also a neat trick with this particular model you can rotate the globe to change the color pattern after it cools off of course. For the price which I thought was really cheap I am really pleased with this.

This is my second time ordering a lava lamp from this brand. The first one they sent me was mailed in a plastic mail bag with nothing to cushion the lamp from damage in transit. Naturally it arrived broken and I was instructed by Amazon to 'mail back the broken product' yeah no, not about to fondle a bag full of glass and glitter oil. So that was experience number one. I decided to give them a second chance, purchased this lava lamp, I was pretty optimistic when it was shipped in a sturdy box with plustic air cushions. But it was too good to be true. The lamp arrived with the wax of the lava lamp congealed into pea-sized chunks that had overtaken the coil resting at the bottom of the lamp. So I was sent a pretty paperweight that could not function as a lamp. On top of this the lightbulb I was sent did not work. So strike two. Am going to explore other options for lava lamps, this company does not care about whether or not you enjoy your lamp, in fact they probably don't even read these reviews. So beware this purchase is a dice roll from what I've seen.
