Q: What are the specifications for a replacement bulb?

A: Hi E,
Thaksm for reaching out! The Lava Lamps use a 25 watt light bulb.

Q: does it get hot are they safe
submitted by microban multipurpose - 6 years ago
A: All lava lamps get hot. This is my fourth one. It's important that you take care not to move the lamp while it's on, but if it truly needs to be moved while the lamp is on, get a kitchen towel or a potholder to carefully move it in a safe place or distance, especially from children and pets. Also, read the instruction manual as every lamp has a time limit. For instance, mine can be left on for eight hours at a time and then cooled off before it can be on again. I typically turn these on at nights and then turn it off before bedtime. If it's on for longer than what the manual recommends, it could destroy the gel inside and possibly the lamp itself. According to the lava lamp website regarding safety, "Lava lamps are generally very safe to use as long as you follow the manufacturer’s instructions and take a few sensible precautions before and during use." Hope this helps.
The lava lamp has a nostalgic charm and can create a soothing ambiance in any room. Many guests appreciate its vibrant colors and the mesmerizing flow of wax once it warms up. However, there are concerns about its reliability, as several guests reported issues with the lamp not functioning properly after a short period. Despite these challenges, it remains a popular decorative piece for both children and adults, making it a delightful gift option.

Hazy
Likely will return this. You can’t see the wax at all, the liquid is hazy and isn’t clear at all.

I let it warm up and run 3+ hours the first time. It does seem to warm up and flow better as it "breaks in". On the fourth or fifth night of running around 5 hours, and it is flowing nicer. A nice room light/decor that brings back childhood nostalgia.

Hard to see
20 years ago you could see the “lava” very easily- the fluid inside was colored but see through. This lamp you have to stare at and only really see the bubbles at the top red part. Disappointed.

Broke after a couple months
I bought 2 and both stopped working after a couple months. I went through all the troubleshooting and bought new bulbs and they still don’t work anymore.

No bulb
It came with no light bulb which makes me think someone returned it and I just get the short end of the stick because it wasn’t inspected properly to be out on the shelves. It was the number one thing my son was looking forward to opening so I let it be his night before present and he was sad and disappointed when it didn’t work.

Doesn't last
We have had this for about six months. It was working and then I turned it off and when I turned it on again, the wax no longer moved. It’s just sitting in a blob on the bottom. The bulb is hot and everything appears to be functional but it no longer works, in my opinion. Pretty disappointed that it didn’t last.

Purchased 4 different lamps just before Christmas
Whether You are a long time fan or someone just finding the allure of the Lava Lamp these are a good deal. You might want to wait for warmer weather before having them shipped to You as they can become cloudy froim the colder temps.

More Lamp Than Lava
Got this for my son as a Christmas gift. He plugged it in, light comes on but it never heats up enough to allow the “lava” to move. Hopefully replacing the bulb will fix it but kind of a bummer considering it was a gift.

Lamp itself was ok, unfortunately as soon as I plugged it in, the bulb blew and I had to immediately order another one. Perhaps of it had been packaged better, this could have been avoided.

Faulty wiring?
Didn’t get a chance to use it. As soon as I plugged it in, the bulb popped, a breaker tripped and the electricity turned off. Didn’t turn on after that. Returning.

Blew out in 48hrs
This lava lamp lasted two days before it blew out. I do not recommend buying this.
