Lava Lamps Reviews

If you have never owned a lava lamp or seen one, think of a glass bottle filled with a heated clear, sometimes coloured liquid, which has blobs of wax floating about in it. Now imagine the bottle being illuminated from beneath. Now imagine the heat from the illumiation source, a tungsten bulb, causing the blobs of wax to move around the ...  Read the complete review

I have owned my lava lamp now for approximately twelve months and I am very happy with the quality of the product. I purchased my lava lamp from Argos, where they had a variety of colours, including; read, blue, green and purple. My lava lamp is a mixture of both blue and green, and the colous are outstanding. Once I have turned on my lava lamp it ...  Read the complete review

I was given a lava lamp as a gift about a year ago, so my experiences here will be based on my experiences with this one lava lamp. I appreciate that there is a fair amount of variation in the styles and designs of Lava Lamps, but I hope they are all similar enough that my review is still relevant. When they are in full heat and the ...  Read the complete review

Lava lamps can, somewhat suprisingly, be quite hit and miss. The main factors that determine whether or not a Lava-lamp will work well and look good for a longtime are; The wax. If this is to cheap it will lose its consistancy with the constant heating and cooling and eventually it will stop working altogether. It can also ...  Read the complete review

My family I suspect like every other has a room or rooms in the house which rarely get used, and as a result they end up cluttered with the things we rarely use or have used and no longer have space for. Today for some reason I decided to have a sort out of the things in there which I no longer want or need, and came across my sisters old lava ...  Read the complete review

Lava lamps are the ultimate retro accessory. They began life way back in the 60's, and haven't changed much in design since. The Lava Lamp contains wax in liquid, which rises and falls when the water around it is heated. The word 'Lava lamp' is a bit misleading, as it suggests that the product produces enough light to, say, read by - but it ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

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. ...  Read the complete review

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. ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review
