How long does it take to start flowing?

About 1 to 3 hours from cold, depending on room temperature. The wax moves slowly at first and speeds up as the bulb warms the globe.

What bulb does it use?

An E14 R45 40W incandescent bulb, which is included. Replace it with the same type and wattage; an LED will not produce enough heat to move the wax.

Can I use it in the US?

It is built for 230V with an EU 2-pin plug, so it needs a voltage converter and plug adapter for US outlets. A plug adapter alone is not enough.

Is it safe to leave on all day?

It is meant for supervised ambient use. The bulb and base get warm, so switch it off when you leave the room and keep it away from curtains and children.

It is 45 cm tall and 12 cm wide and deep, weighing about 1.8 kg. Check shelf height and clearance above the cap before placing it.

Does it come with the wax already inside?

Yes, the glass globe is filled and sealed with the colored wax. You only add the bulb and plug it in.

Our take on the Balvi Magma Lava Lamp

The Balvi Magma is an extra-large lava lamp: a 45 cm tall glass globe of colored wax on an aluminum base and cap. It runs on an E14 R45 40W incandescent bulb and takes 1 to 3 hours to warm up before the wax flows fully. It suits anyone after a retro bedside or shelf accent rather than bright task light. Against smaller classic lava lamps it stands out on height and metal trim; against modern LED mood lights it is slower to start and runs hotter.
