FAQs
How long can I leave the Lava Lamp on?
It is recommended to use the lamp for no more than 8 to 10 hours at a time to prevent overheating.
Can I replace the bulb with an LED?
No, you must use the specific G9 appliance bulb provided, as the heat from the bulb is required to melt the wax.
Is it normal for the base to get hot?
Yes, the base and globe will become very warm to the touch as part of the normal operation process.
Why is the wax forming small bubbles?
This is often a sign the lamp has been moved or shaken while warm. It will usually resolve itself after a full cooling and heating cycle.
Where should I position the lamp for best flow?
Position the lamp on a flat, sturdy surface away from drafts, direct sunlight, or extreme cold to maintain a consistent internal temperature.
Troubleshooting
The wax does not move after 3 hours
Ensure the bulb is securely tightened and that the room temperature is at least 68 degrees Fahrenheit.
The wax is stuck at the top of the globe
Turn the lamp off, allow it to cool completely to room temperature, and restart the heating cycle.
The liquid looks cloudy
This is often caused by shaking the lamp while it is warm. Let the lamp sit undisturbed for 24-48 hours to see if the wax settles back into its original state.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To assemble, gently place the glass globe onto the aluminum base, ensuring it is centered, and then place the decorative cap on top. Plug the cord into a standard household wall outlet.
Care instructions are straightforward but critical for longevity:
- Keep the lamp away from children and pets, as the glass surface becomes hot during use.
- Only use the provided G9 appliance bulb type; using an incorrect wattage can overheat the liquid and cloud the clarity of the globe.
- Wipe the glass exterior with a soft, dry cloth; do not use chemical cleaners or glass sprays, as these can leave residues or damage the finish.
- Avoid placing the lamp in areas with extreme temperature shifts, such as directly next to an air conditioner vent or a radiator.
