Lava Lamps Reviews

I can't remember what my room looks like without my lava lamp! It gives any room a much needed hit of bright fluorescent colour, with attractive contemporary styling and swirling, interesting patterns from the 'lava' making it a truely mesmorising little ornament. I opted for a Mathmos lava lamp, which I think personally is the only way to go. It ...

••TURN OUT THE LIGHTS•• Now that is much better - At this moment in time, the tone and setting is perfectly poised for me to switch on my lava lamps. A dim to dark room is the ideal background to show off these elegant motion lamps in action - only then can you really appreciate them in full bloom. Made out of wax and high quality oils ...

I am not going to bore you in history of lava lamps or how they work, i am going to tell you the pros and cons of having one. Ok maybe a bit of history, they have been around since the sixties and still haven't gone out of fashion. The main difference between the lamps of then and now is the price. Nowadays you will probably find a lava lamp ...

I`ve always wanted a lava lamp but new they are not that cheap to buy. Most lamps these days start at around £30, and spending that kind of money on one product just frightens me, so I`d resigned myself to never owning one. Then one day as sue26 and clan were browsing around our favourite shopping place, you know, that great big store ...

I bought a lava lamp for myb 18th birthday 3 1/2 years ago. It's a small Mathmos one with purple liquid and red "lava". Groovy. When I first got it out of the box I must say that I was rather disappointed to see that what I had just paid 45 pounds for consisted of a bottle with "stuff" in it, and a base comprising ...

I bought a glitter lamp for my sister for her Xmas about 3 years ago, and it has been in regular use since. The only complaint she has about it is that after about 2 months use the bulb went, and we had a bit of a hassle getting a replacement. No one seemed to stock the right bulb, and there wasn't an info sheet to order replacements that ...

Ever light a candle, then stare for hours as the hot wax slowly melts and drips down the side, in lovely, creamy white lumps? I'm sure you have, go on, admit it! Picture it, now. Imagine the little drips, racing each other down the smooth sides of the candle body. Sometimes they narrowly escape collision, and reach the base alone. ...

Bedrooms around the country are, in my opinion, brighter and more interesting now that the phenonenom of lava lamps have returned. The shapes may have changed since their original peak in the sixties, but they are by no means of a by-gone era. In fact, they are slap bang up to date. While Mathmos make arguably the best lava lamps in the ...

Lava Lamps were all the rage last year weren't they? And though they're still seen in a few 'trendy' shops they're not quite as popular. I confess to having bought one in that mad period - and now it is a permanent feature of my room. Unfortunately, it's basically a permanently 'off' feature of my room. ...

Lava lamps feature huge globs of oil that slowly ooze their way up and down the glass lamp base. These were popular in the late 60's and early 70's and were usually made of copper. These lamps can look nice in a room depending on where they are placed. They can be very distracting if sited near a television or pc. The ...

Lava lamps may have bounced back into fashion from the 70's, it's just a shame the prices aren't the same as they were back then. Who in their right mind would pay £30 + for one? Lots of people obviously as they seem to sell very well. I must admit I was mad enough to buy one - but only because it was in an 'end of ...

Why did lava lamps ever go out of fashion? They look brilliant, they liven up a room. They come in loads of colours. You can also buy glitter lamps, which look brilliant but not as good as normal lava lamps. You can spend ages just watching the lava lamp. They take a while to warm up but it takes less and less the more you use your lava lamp. Do ...

I love my Lava Lamps! At the end of the 90's we got a 70's revival! We dug out the flares, the platform shoes and the designs and re-packaged them all for the 90's calling it Retro. The colours, greens with purples came back along with the re-mixes and orignal 70's dance music, in London we re-lived it all over again, except for ...

I've never really bothered with them myself but my husband thinks that they are cool. Anyway, did you know that you can become a 'Mathmos' (the company that invented the lava lamp) member and join their club? It costs £9.99 for which you get : T-shirt (choice of 4 designs) ...
