Our take on the Lava Brand Motion Lamp

The Lava Brand Motion Lamp is the classic liquid-motion lamp: a 14.5-inch glass vessel of tinted wax and clear liquid over an aluminum base, lit by a 25 W incandescent bulb and switched with a push button. The bulb's heat melts the wax, which rises and falls in slow blobs, so it is a mood piece rather than a reading light. It suits anyone wanting retro decor or a calm nightlight for a bedroom or den. Against generic motion lamps, the Lava name carries the original look and a sturdier aluminum base, but it is warm-up dependent and gives off little usable light.

Questions and answers

How long does it take for the wax to start moving?
It depends on room temperature. In a warm room the wax usually starts flowing within an hour; in a cold room it can take longer or move sluggishly.
Is it bright enough to read by?
No. The 25 W incandescent bulb gives a soft, warm glow meant for ambiance and as a nightlight, not for reading or task lighting.
Does it need a special bulb?
It uses a 25 W incandescent bulb, and the heat from that bulb is what drives the wax motion. A cool-running LED replacement will not make the wax flow.
Where should I put it?
On a stable tabletop away from drafts, direct sun and anything flammable. Give the glass room so it is not knocked, and keep it out of reach of small children and pets.
Is it safe to leave on all night?
It is designed for tabletop use, but the bulb and base get warm. Many owners switch it off when leaving the room or going to bed.
