Lamp Lava 2149 14.5-inch, Decal Colormax, Color Max Volcano Base/White Wax/Clear Liquid/Tri-Colored Globe

I have been looking for a quality 70’s lava lamp for years. I am THRILLED with this lava lamp and use it every day. The packaging by this company was professional and informative - as well as thanking the buyer and to not hesitate to contact them with any questions or concerns.I use it daily in my bedroom. I bought it for decor and nostalgic memories of my parents having one. I have found it helps me with relaxation... I am prone to insomnia, it runs in the family. Sleep meds aren’t effective for me at all or have unpleasant side effects.When I am unable to sleep, simply resting is what I am now doing. I find the lamp soothing. Typically, I’d thrash around in bed for awhile and then head to the coffee pot. Now I’m resting and am relaxed as well as I have been even fallen asleep for a bit.My husband likes it, too - it is groovy and he is also impressed with the quality. He is a good sleeper and it is my nightlight....it doesn’t disrupt him.It’s a decent length cord and the base is sturdy. I am going to buy another for a friend. It’s unique and affordable gift.I am simply a customer so this is not a fake review. A++ highly recommendedCompany note is friendly and confident they stand by their product. I use it every day!

Lava lamps aren't that hard to get working right. You need to make sure the little metal coil is sitting on the bottom of the lamp, you may need to tilt the wax around to make sure the coil settles at the bottom. Then, the lamps need up to 4+ hours to warm up and start flowing.I got an Amazon Warehouse Deal lamp for under $20. The bulb was broken. The bulbs are $3.47 at home depot. I asked amazon for a partial refund for the broken bulb. They gave me $5. I did store pickup on a bulb and the lamp was up and running in a few hours.This lamp is excellent! The colours are awesome and harder to find. It's great for the bedroom, because it doesn't have any blue/green light that disrupts sleep.

I have had this lamp for several months and used it extensively through the winter and spring (I don't turn on lava lamps during hot summer days). This lamp is great, it has an attractive finish that reminds me of a martian landscape. I have several lamps, this particular one is the favorite of my housemate, and he is picky! This lamp is a good quality for the price. It is, however, one of the smaller lamps. Classic lava lamps come in 3 standard sizes (not counting certain specialty lamps). So be aware the size of this is the 14 inch not 17 inch (17 inch is probably the more common size found in mall shops etc that one would expect if you don't have other lamps for a reference). The wax in this lamp heats up fairly quickly, same quality expected as other current model 14 inch lava lamps. If you want to be able to enjoy your lava lamp's motion effects the fastest, I would recommend getting a 14 inch lamp over the larger sizes anyway, as they are much faster to heat up and create motion. I highly recommend this lamp, it is a lovely orange colored glow and creates a beautiful atmosphere. Would make a great gift, especially for young men, or for anyone who likes lava lamps, retro lighting, or the warm colors.

So we love this. It worked really well and then a few months into it. It's stopped working and wax wasn't melting. We tried replacing the bulb because I know it takes a certain sort of bulb. Only helped a little bit. I made sure that the coil ring was at the bottom so it's not that. I'm currently trying a science experiment where I'm warming the glass up and trying to mess with the physics of the wax and the liquid a little bit. Hopefully it works out.

So exited to get this item. Was telling the kids about it and they were pumped. We finally get it set up and the bulb is blown... now it sets on counter for us to go buy another bulb on a brand new product. I have read several reviews and they say the same thing. Why not put a better quality bulb in these things and take pride in the things we sell like the good old days. I should have purchased replacement bulbs first....or should I have had confidence the product would at least give me a day or two of enjoyment.The actual lava lamp looks like it is great quality .

My Lava Lamp arrived today, and I plugged it right in. Took about 3 hours for the lava to get going, but it's so mesmerizing. I had one years ago, and saw this one, and had to get it. It's different than all the others, with the volcano base, it's perfect with the flowing lava. I ordered one for my friend, it matches her bedroom perfectly she hasn't got it yet, so I am hoping she loves it as much as I do. Will update with her comments once she gets in tomorrow.UPDATE: My friend got her lava lamp set it up, and within a couple hours the lava was going, mine took 3 & the next day it took about 3 hours. She loves it & I am happy! One note, make sure you don't let the lamp burn more than 10 hours.

The media could not be loaded. So this lava lamp is great once you get it going. I read and followed the directions exactly. You always want to make sure the coil is at the bottom. That is very important. The thing that I think is a little misleading is in the instructions it says the very first time you run it, you should run it anywhere between 2-6 hours depending on the size of your lamp. I bought a 14.5 inch one. The first day I ran it, I ran it for 8 hours and it still wasn't flowing. It was making the towers but that was it. So the next day I ran it for over 10 hours and it finally was beginning to flow right. These aren't like the old ones, but it is working properly now. The next day, after I ran it for over 10 hours the previous day, it only took an hour to warm up and flow right. In my opinion, I feel like they should have a slightly higher wattage bulb. I'm not saying have a 60 watt bulb in there, but something higher than 25.
