The Original Lava® Lamp - 14.5" Aurora Borealis – Classic Liquid Motion Lamp - Purple Wax and Blue Liquid - Item #2047 (Amazon Exclusive)

Ah, the original lava lamp! The original and the best. This particular unit is known as Aurora Borealis and at first I thought that was referencing the base of the unit because it is colored differently than I've seen before, kind of a swirl pattern. The magic however is what happens in a dark room when the lava lamp is operational. This particular combination of fluid color and "lava" color produces effects on the walls that mimic the Aurora Borealis. Very interesting looking lava as it seems to change color somewhat and by doing that it shoots bright beams if you will of green color onto the walls in an ever-changing pattern just like the Aurora. I've always loved lava lamps but this particular combination of fluid and wax offers a truly hypnotic effect in a dark room. To truly enjoy the effect to its fullest the room must be absolutely dark. Place the lamp about 6 in from the wall to enhance the effect. This one will not disappoint!

The lamp was easy to assemble and easy to start enjoying. It's quite durable and should last for many years. It's fun to watch the wax make different formations. Nice color!

I learned from my Amazon purchase not to buy a Lava Lamp through the mail. The wax breaks up into little bits during shipping, and they never get back to the main blobs. Little bits of cooked wax floating around like dead bugs in a liquid that is far from clear. Also, the stock bulb (30 watts, T-17) is too hot for this lamp, meaning the wax congeals at the top for a long time and takes minutes to fall back down. Again, the liquid is not clear. I researched this on the Internet, and it said another reason for these problems is old stock--lamps that have been sitting for months or years. AND lava lamps are only good for about 2,000 hours which is only about 18 weeks if left on all the time.That's not good enough for me. Returned next day for a refund.

Looks beautiful….i love the way it makes my nook look.

Bought this my daughter and she loves it. She always wanted one growing up but we couldn’t afford it. They’re still a little pricey but she’s old enough to take care of it. It comes in assorted colors and sizes so it was a hard decision on which one to buy.

I have wanted a lava lamp since the 1970s when my aunt had one and I watched it all day and night, This is by far the coolest one I have ever seen. The price was what always kept me from getting one. BUT I had a gift card so I treated myself. #1 amazon delivery person THREW it or DROPPED it right over my fence and left it on the concrete by my gate of my busy street. Um the porch with a hidden railing is 6 feet from an old fashioned easy to open gate! I mean come on ppl. I got it in excited and hoped it wasnt broken. THee coil was upside down. omg. it would not flip over and i gently tried according to the internet search to tip it ever so slightly to the side very little. NOPE not wanting to damage it or mess up my flow i put in bulb and plugged it in. SHORTED OUT right away. I tried to screw bulb in a bit more, then fiddled with the on of toggle then it worked, however it shorted out again about 1 hour later and the lava never properly flowed.It is too beautiful with the exact lava colors I have only dreamed of So i returned and reordered,. UPS did not want to return it without a box even though they did not ship in any amazon packaging as i requested. so that was a bit of a hassle. Girl was cool about tho and an old lady gave me her used box. New one came in perfect delivery sill not in amazon packaging as i requested , came in just the box its in again. So I take it out excited that this is going to be the one. .. The lava and coil were upside down again. Following the tutorials again, I managed ever so gently to persuade it to flip on its own.I is day 2 or 3 and its going well. I have had it on twice letting it settle over night.Lava is a bit murky still but I can live with it!

Be careful this lamp gets hot! It is fun to watch once it heats up which takes a while. I would not recommend this lamp due to the heat it puts out.

Exactly as described. Arrived within stated time frame.
