Urban Shop 16" Blue Volcano Lamp vs Lava Lamp Yellow & Purple
Buy the LAVA lamp if you want the classic, proven lava lamp: it is the original brand, uses a standard 25W appliance bulb you can replace anywhere, and has a metal base and cap. Buy the Urban Shop 16" if you want a taller lamp with a blue-on-black look and a wider choice of colorways. Both take 1 to 2 hours to warm up and both are decorative night lights, not room lighting. Owners of the LAVA line report years of use; the Urban Shop has a large rating base at 4.3 and is the cheaper-feeling of the two in build.
- Choose the Urban Shop 16" Blue Motion Volcano Lamp if you want a taller lamp, a blue-and-black finish, and several color options to match a room.
- Choose the Yellow & Purple Lava Lamp if you want the original LAVA brand with a replaceable standard bulb and an aluminum base and cap.
