A simple incandescent bulb or halogen lamp lights up a tall, glass bottle filled with a mixture of water and colored wax. When heated, the wax liquefies and ascends above water creating pretty blobs of color! When it cools down, it descends. The slow rise and fall of the globules creates a funky mood! These elegant lamps blend into just about any ambience or setting.
Red lava lamps still have a certain bohemian aura about them! Place them in any corner of any room and watch the hypnotic effect they create!
Facts You Should Know About Lava Lamps
Great care should be taken when you are using a lava lamp in your home. Never shake a lava lamp when it is switched on. It may combine the water and wax and lead to cloudy appearance. Sometimes, bits of wax may get stuck to the bottle and refuse to move. Don’t try to heat up the lamp with an alternative heat source such as a stove.
