The Original Lava® Lamp - 14.5" Aurora Borealis – Classic Liquid Motion Lamp - Purple Wax and Blue Liquid - Item #2047 (Amazon Exclusive)

Honestly, it’s a pretty solid product I mean for the brightness it’s not so bright but I think overall it’s a pretty good lava lamp but mine did come with a few scratches on it but honestly, I don’t really care but I would write this a solid, good lava lamp does what a lava lamp does.

Would buy again and again... HOWEVER, (BUYER BEWARE) it is overall much darker than expected. The liquid is more of a turquoise/aquamarine shade which can seem murky with the light off. The wax in mine is a lighter shade of purple than in the image. As the liquid in the lamp thins and flows it bubbles into shades of purple, pink and even some green down near the light. I honestly do love it and I feel (in my opinion) that the colors remind ME of the colors of the northern lights and not overly fake bright color. I actually sat on this review for several weeks before typing it out. Honestly, I was initially disappointed as it didn't "look" like the photo. Tried the whole clearing up process without achieving the "photo look". So I sat and watched it every night and actually realized that I appreciate it more for the color it IS and how closely (in my opinion) looks like the actual muted colors of the aurora.

Updated Review: Very disappointed. The replacement lamp only lasted a day. The bulb didn't burn out, but something went wrong with the lava. Half pooled up at the bottom not moving, the other half is floating at the top and looks like a chunk of iceberg and also does not move. This is after one day of use. Unfortunately, I'm returning it for a refund and will look at products from someone other than "the original lava lamp company" for a lava lamp. I do not recommend this lava lamp, at any price. Original Review: I'm giving the 2nd "The Original Lava® Lamp - 14.5" Aurora Borealis – Classic Liquid Motion Lamp" I received 5 stars. It is everything I expected. For the price I paid the quality of the build and the materials is very good. Any changes to the materials I would suggest to make it heavier or make it one piece would certainly increase the price. The colors on the base and the cap are bright and vibrant and arrived with zero damage. The actual glass lamp part is very nice and very heavy. Crystal clear glass, no blemishes. The teal fluid is a vibrant teal and almost clear. The purple lava goo is a vibrant purple and appears to change between purple and blue as it moves. Movement with the included bulb is very nice and I really enjoy watching it. This is what I expected from an "original" lava lamp. I will buy more. I am looking forward to seeing the larger 16" version. I have to note that the 1st one I received was pretty much the exact opposite. While the colors on the base and cap were fine, there was clearly either damage or manufacturing defects. The 2nd one I received is near flawless. The teal fluid in the first one was a murky puke green. It was so murky you could only see the lava at the very top of the lamp, and it slowly disappeared as it sank to the bottom. The 1st one I received was NOT what I expected from the "original" lava lamp company. I'm glad I decided to try exchanging it for another one rather than giving up and requesting a refund.

Absolutely love this product. It has the original lava lamp flow

I also got 1 that was cloudy like the reviews have said and also followed instructions to maybe get rid of said cloudiness. Didn't work at all so I did a return/exchange through Amazon and the second was perfect. The colors are simply amazing on the aurora version with purple wax and teal(not blue) liquid.

After reading lots of reviews and seeing the difference myself, it seems there's a quality control issue with this particular lava lamp. My first unit was cloudy, and the base was misshapen a bit. The sublimated design on the cap wasn't aligned properly, leaving a very visible seam. My second unit appears to be perfect. This is an expensive enough lamp that you shouldn't settle for a defective unit. If yours is cloudy, exchange it! The difference is dramatic. My replacement unit is much better all around - the base is perfect, the cap is perfect, and the liquid is reasonably clear. Other reviewers have posted photos of this lamp with even clearer liquid, so I'd say mine is probably about 90% perfect. As these lamps go, I really like this one, in spite of the QA issues. The color scheme is very pretty in person.

When I was a kid (the 80's) my mother and grandmother would spend the day go to different yard sales on Saturday afternoon. Being a record and comic book collector I would tag along. I found an original lava lamp from the 60's and it was awesome. The original yellow liquid and red lava. I had that thing up until a friend of my knocked it off the table and broke the tank. I was heart broken. I've had at least three other lava lamps since then that never quite matched the quality. After a long period of use the lave will break down and stop working right. It would float to the top and stay there. You should never leave the lamp on for more that 10 hours and I always stuck to that. So I found this orignal lamp and it works just like the one that I found at the yard sale as a kid. Very happy with this purchase.

Worst product ever! The very first one I ordered had a crack, so they sent me a replacement. Really easy fix and I threw the first one away. The second one comes and was so cloudy you couldn't even see the inside, so I returned it for a replacement. The third one came and was also cloudy I refused to give up, because I absolutely loved the style and color of this particular lava lamp. However I reached out to the company and they wrote back saying cloudiness is normal and gave me instructions to "troubleshoot" the cloudiness away I tried that twice and it's still very cloudy, and the "lava" itself gets air bubbles in it and I have finally given up on this product specifically after THREE SEPARATE tries. I've now put in for a return and will use the money to buy a lava lamp through a different company! Wish it was a better outcome cause I do love the looks, and design of this one specifically! The last picture you can see the air bubbles in the lava and the fact that the cloudiness never went away!

This should not be sold in the UK - it is for the wrong voltage and has an American plug on it. Very annoying - I nwe have to go through all the palava of returning it.

Pretty happy with it. Takes 3 hours from cold when plugged in so that’s normal. Very nice colours.

There are beautiful:))

This lava lamps only last up to 6 months then they stop flowing.

Awesome colour and flow. It looks cool when it is first heating up as you can see in the photo and then once it gets going the wax moves around a lot and very freely. No issues.
