Review: Returned but my error which is a shame 5⭐️ visually though - My parents use to have a mathmos lava lamp & has a kid I use to watch it & found it hypnotic & although expensive compared to local stores like B&M were the build quality of there’s is extremely poor compared to a genuine mathmos lava lamp & worth the extra money for my reasons at the end of my review . I received this with excitement & to relive my childhood . Although my parents had the larger one I was impressed with its size upon opening the box . With this being the Astro baby I expected it to be much smaller . The base was nice & gleaming & it looked great . I plugged it in following simple instructions. One of the bulbs was open & already in the lamp when I opened the box & I plugged it in but it kept randomly turning off after a period of time 3mins on at most & flickering . I tried the 2nd bulb has you receive 2 which is great has they are £10 on there own via there website . I chose red wax / violet but that looked like there were bits floating inside & I’m assuming if it would have stayed on & not kept switching off & actually got hot enough for the wax to melt this would have cleared & was probably due to the lamp being new & never been used since being produced in the factory . Due to it turning off & wouldn’t stay on for any length of time not even to melt the wax I did a return it which was easy enough & I decided to try a cheaper model that obviously isn’t has well made but this brand looked better build quality than the B&M models however this was doing the same randomly turning off & flickering . It seems that where I want this lamp positioned & needing a extension lead due to no sockets in the corner it turns out it was the extension lead causing the fault & not the lamp I received so I’m a little disappointed to have thought it was the lamp at fault & returning it . British made well built & although I like this alternative for the time being I think I will re/purchase a mathmos soon has nothing looks better than there’s even though I never saw it fully working. it did look really well made & nothing compares to a genuine mathmos made in Great Britain (a rare thing nowadays) & unlike this alternative I now have mathmos provide other bottles if you fancy a change & comes in parts this lava lamp style lamp is one whole unit & when broke it’s all throwaway landfill & that’s were mathmos differ & worth paying that bit extra for . . Very disappointed but not with the item I received myself for thinking the lamp was faulty .
Review: If you really want the absolutely best lava lamp - Hi everyone. Where to start? Well. The packaging is of the very, very first quality. The lava lamp itself is just perfection,( I actually owned an original, way back in the 70s) but, alas and alack, it was lost during the passage of my life, (12 years a soldier, divorce etc.) If you really want the absolutely best lava lamp, than look no further than Mathmos. This is a fantastic piece of kit. How many English companies can now opine: We have spare parts that can fix one of our products that your parents bought in the 60s/70s." Nuff said I reckon. I've been enjoying mine for over four hours now, it is so relaxing and brings back so many good memories while I indulge in a night of red wine and early Floyd, The Doors and ELP. Sorry to rattle on so, I'm just a very happy bunny. So there. Peace and happiness to you all. Paula-Jayne. X🦋X

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Could you tell me if i can get the replacement bulbs for the lava lamp from Amazon**
A: The bulbs are available directly from Mathmos, but you can try using the 30W SES reflector bulb (R39) which can be purchased on Amazon.

**Q: How long can i keep it turned on? cant seem to find the answer in your FAQ**
A: We don't advise leaving the lamp on for longer than 5-6 hours at a time.  This will avoid the lamp overheating and prolong the lifespan of the bottle.

**Q: Is this a plug in touch lamp?**
A: They are beautiful. It is a plug in but not touch to switch on and off. The oils warm up and make lovely shapes. You do have to switch off manually after around 6 hours of use. Hope this helps!

**Q: I have a lava lamp that’s 20 years old. I want to get replacement coloured wax. Any ideas where to go?**
A: Mathmos have the exact ones that fit. Either go to their own site or via Amazon store . . Seriously, anything other than their own bottles is asking for trouble.
