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 preserve the life of the wax.
Can I use the lamp in a cold room?
Lava lamps perform best at room temperatures between 68 and 72 degrees Fahrenheit. Very cold rooms may prevent the wax from flowing properly.
Is the liquid inside toxic?
The lamp contains internal ingredients that should not be ingested. If the glass breaks, avoid touching the liquid and clean the area with soap and water.
Does the lamp get hot?
Yes, the lamp uses a traditional incandescent bulb to heat the wax, so the glass globe and base will become hot during operation.
Can I replace the wax or liquid?
The glass globe is a sealed unit and should not be opened or refilled, as this will permanently damage the functionality of the lamp.
What if the wax sticks to the side of the glass?
Sometimes the wax may adhere to the glass wall. This usually clears up on its own after a normal heating cycle or once the lamp has cooled and been restarted.
Troubleshooting
The wax is not moving
Ensure the room temperature is at least 68 degrees Fahrenheit and allow the lamp enough time to heat up completely.
The liquid looks cloudy
This is often caused by shaking or moving the lamp while warm; let it sit undisturbed for 24-48 hours to allow the wax to settle.
The bulb burned out
Replace the bulb with a compatible G9 appliance bulb; do not use a bulb with higher wattage than specified.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up your lamp is straightforward: gently place the glass globe onto the aluminum base, top it with the cap, and insert the included G9 bulb into the socket. Ensure the lamp is plugged into a grounded wall outlet. Regarding care, never move or shake the lamp while it is in operation or still warm, as this can break the wax clouds and cause the liquid to become cloudy. If dust accumulates on the glass, use a dry or slightly damp soft cloth. If the lamp sits in a cold room, the wax may stay at the bottom longer, so consider moving it to a warmer area if the motion stops entirely.
