    • Good classic lava lamp.
Size: 14.5 Inch Style: Aurora Borialis
When I was a kid (the 80's) my mother and grandmother would spend the day go to different yard sales on Saturday afternoon. Being a record and comic book collector I would tag along. I found an original lava lamp from the 60's and it was awesome. The original yellow liquid and red lava. I had that thing up until a friend of my knocked it off the table and broke the tank. I was heart broken. I've had at least three other lava lamps since then that never quite matched the quality. After a long period of use the lave will break down and stop working right. It would float to the top and stay there. You should never leave the lamp on for more that 10 hours and I always stuck to that. So I found this orignal lamp and it works just like the one that I found at the yard sale as a kid. Very happy with this purchase. ... show more

The lamp was initially cloudy so I let it run for the recommended number of hours and then I turned it off and let it cool down for a weekend. I just turned it on again and everything looks much more clear and as it should. I like the base being aluminum because the plastic bases can melt if you use the wrong type of bulb. ... show more

Updated Review: Very disappointed. The replacement lamp only lasted a day. The bulb didn't burn out, but something went wrong with the lava. Half pooled up at the bottom not moving, the other half is floating at the top and looks like a chunk of iceberg and also does not move. This is after one day of use. Unfortunately, I'm returning it for a refund and will look at products from someone other than "the original lava lamp company" for a lava lamp. I do not recommend this lava lamp, at any price. Original Review: I'm giving the 2nd "The Original Lava® Lamp - 14.5" Aurora Borealis – Classic Liquid Motion Lamp" I received 5 stars. It is everything I expected. For the price I paid the quality of the build and the materials is very good. Any changes to the materials I would suggest to make it heavier or make it one piece would certainly increase the price. The colors on the base and the cap are bright and vibrant and arrived with zero damage. The actual glass lamp part is very nice and very heavy. Crystal clear glass, no blemishes. The teal fluid is a vibrant teal and almost clear. The purple lava goo is a vibrant purple and appears to change between purple and blue as it moves. Movement with the included bulb is very nice and I really enjoy watching it. This is what I expected from an "original" lava lamp. I will buy more. I am looking forward to seeing the larger 16" version. I have to note that the 1st one I received was pretty much the exact opposite. While the colors on the base and cap were fine, there was clearly either damage or manufacturing defects. The 2nd one I received is near flawless. The teal fluid in the first one was a murky puke green. It was so murky you could only see the lava at the very top of the lamp, and it slowly disappeared as it sank to the bottom. The 1st one I received was NOT what I expected from the "original" lava lamp company. I'm glad I decided to try exchanging it for another one rather than giving up and requesting a refund. ... show more

Would buy again and again... HOWEVER, (BUYER BEWARE) it is overall much darker than expected. The liquid is more of a turquoise/aquamarine shade which can seem murky with the light off. The wax in mine is a lighter shade of purple than in the image. As the liquid in the lamp thins and flows it bubbles into shades of purple, pink and even some green down near the light. I honestly do love it and I feel (in my opinion) that the colors remind ME of the colors of the northern lights and not overly fake bright color. I actually sat on this review for several weeks before typing it out. Honestly, I was initially disappointed as it didn't "look" like the photo. Tried the whole clearing up process without achieving the "photo look". So I sat and watched it every night and actually realized that I appreciate it more for the color it IS and how closely (in my opinion) looks like the actual muted colors of the aurora. ... show more

After reading lots of reviews and seeing the difference myself, it seems there's a quality control issue with this particular lava lamp. My first unit was cloudy, and the base was misshapen a bit. The sublimated design on the cap wasn't aligned properly, leaving a very visible seam. My second unit appears to be perfect. This is an expensive enough lamp that you shouldn't settle for a defective unit. If yours is cloudy, exchange it! The difference is dramatic. My replacement unit is much better all around - the base is perfect, the cap is perfect, and the liquid is reasonably clear. Other reviewers have posted photos of this lamp with even clearer liquid, so I'd say mine is probably about 90% perfect. As these lamps go, I really like this one, in spite of the QA issues. The color scheme is very pretty in person. ... show more

Not really sure why these are getting a bad rap. Mine works perfectly with no clouding right out of the box. 10/10 would recommend.

    • Exchanging again. Hoping third time is the charm!!
Size: 14.5 Inch Style: Aurora Borialis
I ordered for Christmas. When the recipient opened it, we plugged it in and it didn’t turn in. So, I exchanged it. The second one turned on, but after 3 hours and 10 minutes, you can BARELY see shadows of the wax moving because the fluid is so murky. Guess I’ll send this one back and try again. Update: Amazon replaced the lamp again and I finally got a good one. I bought multiple lamps as gifts and this was the only color combo that had this problem. Just know that it may take a few returns to get a good one, but a good one is super pretty!! ... show more
