14.5-Inch Silver Base Lava Lamp with Purple Wax in Blue Liquid - 2118

It's good but the liquid is very cloudy. So it's not clear.

a lâmpada que veio queimou em 2hrs

評価が勿体ないと感じたのと、 レビューに幾度と助けられているので書きたいと思います。 卓上に置いてます。 浮いたり沈んだりと...良いですね。 電圧変換で昇圧しなれけば動きが悪いです。 昇圧装置はすこし値段がしますがそちらに繋げば問題なく動きます。 熱で動くので動き始めるまで少し時間がかかります。 買う前はラバライトの情報がなかなか出てこなく買ってから動くか心配でした。 初期設定や必要なものなどを出品者に確認しても不十分な回答でした。 ちなみに英語の説明書でした。 YOUTUBEなどで調べると英語ですが、 説明書で書いてあることが動画でわかるので調べてみるといいと思います。 ラバライト興味ある方は参考にしてください。

僕のが不良品だったのかな？？ 球が2日で切れました

When this lamp first arrived, it was almost unusable. The liquid was so cloudy that the wax inside was practically invisible, and repeated heating cycles (the manufacturer’s suggested fix) did very little to help. It was clear to me that the problem stemmed from poor storage and handling, likely exposure to too much heat before shipping, which can ruin these types of lamps. Out of the box, I would have returned it had I not been comfortable making repairs myself. Filtering the liquid cleared things immediately, transforming the lamp from a cloudy mess into a handsome piece. The wax color is not as pictured, but it has a dynamic beauty of its own: a pinkish-purple glow near the base, shifting to a deeper purple on top, with blue-violet reflections along the undersides of the moving wax. Meanwhile, the fluid appears more teal when illuminated than the stock photos suggest. The result is striking, just different than advertised. Performance is mixed. The lamp tends to run hot, which causes the wax to fragment into smaller bubbles that hover near the top instead of flowing gracefully. Using a dimmer to manage heat output helps, but in my opinion this is a workaround for an issue that should not exist. My four-star rating reflects the lamp as it currently sits on my desk: attractive, functional, and enjoyable once repaired. If I were judging it solely on how it arrived, or assuming I lacked the know-how to fix it, my rating would be much lower. Buyers without the willingness or ability to troubleshoot should keep this in mind.

I remember buying a lava lamp, actually receiving it as a gift in high school back in the very early 2000s. It was beautiful, I ran it nonstop and I only threw it away because the base got bent. I feel like an idiot for doing it and wish I hadn’t. Apparently the company has been resold once or twice since then and every time they get resold they become more and more crappy. The current company is actually a toy company that has no idea about chemicals and how to make proper lava lamps. It certainly shows in the quality of their product. I tried purchasing more about 5 years ago and they faded very fast. Almost as though you left them sitting in the sun, pink and purple turned to brown within a month, it was so weird, and in rooms that were north facing that get very little light I don’t understand how that could have happened. I decided to try again and ordered them again here on Amazon. This is my experience with these current ones made by Schylling: I purchased a couple other colors, they aren’t perfect but they’re okay. I had issues with cloudiness, but it was very little and the more I used them the less the cloudiness was visible so I’m glad for that. For some reason this one, (I purchased the blue liquid with purple wax.) was a chore to get one that I could actually use. I purchased 2 at first, one for my daughter and one for me. Hers was perfect, mine looked slightly empty. It was about an inch lower than hers was. It was also cloudy but I decided I’d try it out anyhow and see if I could get the cloudiness to subside because it worked with the other colors. I set it up and let it run for about 4 or 5 hours. It looked like it was losing liquid even though it wasn’t clearly leaking anywhere. Well I took the bottle out of the base and the light bulb exploded. The whole base was full of the blue liquid. We couldn’t see any leak at all on the bottle, it didn’t even feel wet. I had to wait until the next day when it was bright and sunny out to take it outside and see a hairline crack in the bottle. I was kind of surprised by this since the shipping box, it’s own box, and all packaging was in perfect condition. It must have been a defect during manufacturing since it was right along it’s own seam. What is odd is that it didn’t leak during shipment but perhaps the heating of it was what really made the difference. Could have been very dangerous. I was hassled by Amazon about the return and they requested several photos and I had to speak with like 3 people to get the refund. Kind of ridiculous. (I am including some of the pictures of this one.) After that fiasco, knowing that manufacturing defects happen and it doesn’t always deem the product to be complete crap, I ordered another one. This one was so cloudy you couldn’t barely see the wax at all while it was running. (I am including pictures of this.) I tried the “cycling” they suggest on the website, I joined groups and forums, tried everything, no good. Returned that and bought another one, same thing. At this point I’m aggravated and couldn’t understand why the one my daughter has is perfect. You can see white film on the wax on the bad ones, the good ones still have it but they have less. If you get one and your liquid is cloudy, it’s pretty likely it’s going to stay that way unless it’s only a little bit. If you have one that is VERY cloudy you are pretty much guaranteed to have to send it back, it will never be fixed. I decided to give it one last try because I wanted this color so badly. Thankfully I finally received a good one. Doesn’t appear cloudy at all and when runny it doesn’t have any issues. What a nightmare though. Pretty bad that I had to order so many just to get 2 good ones. I haven’t done enough research yet but basically if you want a GOOD lava lamp buy a vintage one, anything made in the early 2000s or older. Don’t quote me on this year but I think I read in the groups that 2003 was when they were sold to some factory in China and quality took a dive. They’ve since been sold again like I said earlier. There is also a company called Mathmos but they are also going downhill and only in the UK or something so you have to buy them online and spend quite a bit just to get one. Also I’d like to reiterate do not settle for a crappy one. If it’s cloudy or defective SEND IT BACK. It’s free to return it if it’s defective. Don’t allow this company to keep making crap products. Maybe if they realize they’re getting so many returns they need to fix their low quality product or sell to a company that will so people can still buy and enjoy lava lamps.
