GREAT PRODUCT! The Real Thing!!!
This is great lamp... Received mine from "Lamps Plus" via Amazon.com and the package came in perfect condition with plenty of cushion to get it to my home safely... This one has nice contrasting colors that give off a nice glow to the room without really adding much light... Great, fun light!!!

Okay lava lamp
We purchased this item to put in our son's room so he could watch the bubbles as he falls asleep. However, it takes over an hour to really get hot enough to melt the wax and form patterns. Just be aware that this is not an "instant gratification" type lava lamp.

Beautiful, March 20, 2006
I've had this color and base for over 5 years and I love it. Once the wax warms up enough to rise, it captures your attention whenever you walk into the room. It's a lovely natural blue/green combination but bright and cheerful.
The frequent bulb replacements (about once every 2 months) are annoying but worth the effect. My only complaint is that the wax has lost weight over the years (whereas I have done the opposite) and now it floats at the top.

Slow down and Enjoy...Lava!, March 6, 2008
This is my first real lava lamp, and I must say that it has captured my attention and my imagination. Sure, it takes about an hour to warm up to a unique display--as others have mentioned; however, I find THAT aspect very comforting in today's fast-paced, too immediate, too loud, too impatient, too now-oriented society. The Lava lamp moves with its own motion and mood. Its purpose is to calm and to relax a person; it is the perfect companion for some soft music and NO TV.
I love the colors of this product. They are very soothing. When the lava really starts moving, mingling, the lamp has a beautiful, unearthly quality about it. I tend to watch each blob with interest and forget the day's troubles.
Slow down and enjoy the blobs...

Totally cool, October 12, 2008
I put this on a timer in my kids' room (ages 9, 7 and 5). It turns on a couple of hours before bedtime (to get warmed up and start flowing) and turns off a couple of hours after they drift off). It is relaxing to watch and provides some light without being harsh. My kids know not to play with or touch the lamp, otherwise I wouldn't be comfortable using it this way (as a nightlight of sorts).

Better Than a Fish Tank!, February 22, 2010
This review is from: LAVA 20-oz. Motion Lamp - Yellow/Blue
Mine did nothing when I first got it. The blue blob just sat at the bottom of the bottle. I shook it once and turned the light off for an hour. After an hour - I switched it back on again and was rewarded with the COOLEST show of liquid motion ever! At first the wax stretched towards the top of the glass and after two hours...the neat little balls started forming.
I am hooked on this little relaxation device now. I could stare at those globules stretching, twisting, balling-up and colliding with each other ALL DAY now! Its really more soothing than a fish tank, and works PERFECT with relaxing music. It is a great conversation piece and therapeutic...all wrapped up in one cool, retro looking lamp!
I suggest hooking a timer to it and scheduling it to work while you sleep. The lamp seems to work much better when it cycles between OFF/ON periodically. The lamp MUST cool down every 6-8 hours...or else you'll see nothing but a lazy, round blob sitting at the bottom of the glass. Don't buy it for the illumination...get it because it definitely will UNSTRESS YOU.

Do your homework, February 7, 2010
This review is from: LAVA 20-oz. Motion Lamp - Yellow/Blue
Our first lamp from this company did not work, it just sat as a blob in the bottom. However, the company, Lamps Plus sent a new one that works great. You MUST put these lamps on a timer or they will over-heat or not be warmed up in time for bed. My 8 year loves his lamp in his room as he goes to sleep.

This lamp doesn't flow!, January 7, 2010
This review is from: LAVA 20-oz. Motion Lamp - Yellow/Blue
This lava lamp was a huge disappointment. We actually bought 2 and neither of them have flowed ever. They heat up and just sit there - nice mood lighting but no motion. The blob starts to float a bit like a big ball but doesn't do anything at all. What a waste of money.

It's a lava lamp, January 9, 2008
I bought this as a gift for a friend and she seemed to like it. We knocked it off the table a few times, so it sits on the floor now, but it did not break so I suppose it is well made. I'm not sure what one needs to know before buying a lava lamp other than it makes a great gift when you don't know what to buy some one. Personally I would have prefered the base to be black instead of silver but that seems to be my only complaint.
