 Why do the Lava Lamp blobs stay at the bottom of the globe? Find out…

Commonly asked questions about a Lava Lamp’s globe wax

So it’s been a few days since you made that perfect order of your new Yellow Wax Purple Liquid 20oz Lava Lamp, excitedly you take the box, open it up and with a gleaming eye you stare into the beautiful and excellent craftsmanship of these lamps. You take the power cord and proceed to insert it into the wall socket…then you wait as you should, allowing the wax to warm up and begin to flow exquisitely around its liquid. But…much to your surprise, this does not occur! Yes you may throw a fit as you see the wax solidified on the base as inanimate as a rock, but have no fear because this little problem can be easily fixed and is no reason to re-package it and ask for a return/refund. Though the chances of this occurring are simply infrequent, it has been reported by some customers as something that caused them a little irritation.

So, problem: The wax on the base of these lava lamps is placed with a small coil which encircles the wax on its lower side.

When the lamp is plugged in this turns on a light bulb within the lower base which heats up and warms up the coil, thus melting the wax.

Of course if after attempting this, it turns out that it is not working, then carefully hold the lamp without its lower base which has a light bulb in it, and heat directly towards the base where the coils is located…afterward when the wax melts and begins to flow, place it back into its regular base with the power cord hooked up so the light bulb continues to heat as normal.

Truly there comes a time when celebration and our culture comes together, and that time cannot be expresses more fully than with the inauguration of our president, Barack Obama. Yes it has been a couple months since he came into office on that chilly January afternoon, but we can all recognize that such an iconic moment needs to be cherished for years to come. Personally I know that a beautifully crafted work of art from a distinct time in history can be a very important memorabilia. Though yes you may hold a photograph, a poster or even a plate commemorating the inauguration, tell me what could be more full of life and intriguing as a lava lamp decorated with the American colors and with ribbons caressing the lamp signaling a time of change and progress. Standing at 16.3″ tall the Obama Inaugural Lava Lamp features white wax with a patriotic blue liquid help by a resin base & cap.Having one of these as a centerpiece or as what it very much is – a collectors piece, then you truly know that as lava lamps have lived on for nearly 50 years, this one can give you the joy and the satisfaction for the next 50 to come that you were there and present in life when this man took office. As what it is sure to be a great change for the good ole’ US of A, the Obama Special Collectors Edition Inaugural Lava Lamp is as good as it gets in terms of memorabilia, and is just that…special.

There is much debate that goes on about battery operated lamps and as to whether they can be as wonderful to gaze at as a conventional lava lamp or if it could serve decoratively just as its counterpart. Though we get many questions asking as to their efficiency, we can proudly lay out the facts about them. First off, these lamps are Lava inspired but do not have the same parts and function differently. As you may know conventional Lava Lamps consist of a light bulb inside the lamp which heats up the water and the lava so that they react and spread apart causing the blobs of wax to float around inside. Of course in order for this to occur the lamp needs a lot of heat for the reaction to occur and thus the lamp needs to be plugged in and turned on. Because of this reason battery operated lamps would be very inefficient since battery power would be drained quickly and the user would need to go through several packs of battery. The solution to people wishing to enjoy the wonder of a lava lamp with the portability of a smaller lamp can turn to the Battery Operated LAVA ® LED SPIN LAMP.
