Lava Lamps

Lava Lamp Colours and Styles

Classic lava lamps originally featured melted wax which was heated up by a warm globe causing it to rise and fall producing the motion we all know and love. But as time went on, new styles such as glitter and metallic lava lamps are now available. 
Additionally, the waxes and glass within the lava lamps come in many different colours such as: red, pink, purple, blue, green, yellow, rainbow, gold, and silver.

And many more.

Lava Lamp Shapes

Lava lamps come in all different sizes and shapes, so it's important to pick one that suits your decor. Diamond Lava Lamps features a more angular shape which looks great in modern or contemporary spaces, while Peace Lava Lamps have a more rounded, softer look to them.

Q: DO LAVA LAMPS USE A LOT OF ELECTRICITY? 

A:

As lava lamps utilise incandescent bulbs to heat up, energy consumption of a lava lamp is largely dependent on the bulb used. Our lava lamps use the most common-type of lava lamp globes which is are 30w SES R39 Lava Lamp Globes.

While incandescent bulbs are costly to operate as regular household light bulbs, you will not be running it for longer than periods of 8-10 hours. The cost will be dependent on your location and electricity rates. 

Q: HOW LONG SHOULD I LEAVE MY LAMP LAVA TURNED ON FOR? 

A:

When turning on your lava lamp for the first time, it will likely take a little bit longer than usual for the wax to melt and flow. With more frequent usage, the lava lamp will begin to flow more quickly. It is highly recommended that you do not run the lava lamp for periods longer than 8 to 10 hours, regardless of the initial heating period. This will minimise any chance of overheating. 

Q: ARE LAVA LAMPS DANGEROUS? 

A:

Lava lamps are a great decor piece when used appropriately however there are a few things to keep in mind when owning one. Lava lamps during operation can get quite hot making it a potential fire hazard. Like most lamps, it's important that your lava lamp during operation is not near hazards such as curtains, carpets or blankets. Most lava lamps contain non-toxic chemicals such as antifungals, water, and coloring. Despite this, the liquid inside should not be ingested in any circumstance.

Q: ARE LAVA LAMPS SAFE TO TOUCH? 

A:

Lava lamps make a great gift for children, teens, and adults alike, however it's important that the owner of the lava lamp understands how to use it properly. Lava lamps become hot enough during operation to cause burns when touched. If the lava lamp is for a child, ensure that its usage is supervised and they know not to touch it.
