Our take on the Lava Lamp 14.5'' Black Wax/Purple Liquid/Silver Base & Cap

The Lava Lamp 14.5" Classic is the original-size lava lamp: a 20 oz. glass globe of black wax in purple liquid on a hand-spun silver aluminum base and cap. It runs on a 25-watt bulb (included) and a standard 120-volt outlet with an on/off switch, and it is UL listed. The draw is the slow, ever-changing wax motion and soft warm glow, not brightness or adjustability. Against generic motion lamps it is the recognized original, but it is a single-color, single-speed lamp with no dimming, timer or app control, and the wax takes a while to warm up and start moving.

Questions and answers

How long does it take to start flowing?
Expect roughly an hour or more after switching on for the wax to soften and begin moving, depending on room temperature.
Why is the liquid cloudy?
Cloudiness is common after shipping because the wax breaks into fine particles. Let the lamp settle and run; a troubleshooting guide is included.
What bulb does it use?
A 25-watt bulb, which is included. Use the specified wattage to keep the wax moving properly.
Does it need a special outlet?
No. It plugs into a standard 120-volt household outlet and has an on/off switch.
Can I dim it or set a timer?
No. The lamp has no dimmer or timer; it is either on or off.
Is it safe to leave on?
It is UL tested and certified, but the globe gets warm, so follow the included instructions and keep it out of reach of small children.
