Nice, but it's the largest commercially available lava lamp. They used to make and sell larger lamps. The Humongo and the Collossus. Both are four feet tall and contain about ten gallons of fluid & lava wax. They only made 35 Humongos for the company's 35th anniversary. Then they made the Collossus a few years later as a luxury sales item. From what I was told recently by a major collector, there were maybe two or three hundred ever sold in the US. To get one today you have to be lucky enough to find a used one for sale and be willing to pay the price.

[@Sparky-ww5re]

By brother got this same lava lamp last year for Christmas. Consuming 100 watts, it's definitely an energy hog, for a novelty item. Considering he lives in Southeast Michigan, having the 27 inch and a smaller 14.5 inch in his bedroom in the winter months kinda serves an additional purpose, keeping his room a bit more cozy 😋 while mom and dad lower the thermostat in response to rising energy costs.

[@Sparky-ww5re]

@@DKShoneys-dc2dp that and when I was a child in the 1990s one item that was really popular at the time that you now once in a blue moon find at a garage sale or thrift store is the halogen torchiere, typically using 300 watt tubular halogen bulb, and 500 watt versions were also available until UL removed the listing from them sometime in 1996 and limited the wattage to 300, and around that time began to be sold with a wire cage to reduce the fire risk from curtains blowing into the bowl. The bulbs sometimes shattered while in use flinging hot glass fragments onto furniture and carpet, usually from skin oils because someone installed the bulb without wearing clean gloves. Rubbing alcohol and paper towel should be used to clean the halogen bulb if it's ever touched with bare hands. As a result these lamp pretty much vanished from store shelves by the early 2000s and it's been pretty close to 20 years since I last seen one turned on.

[@pharmerpnw]

I agree :)

[@supachaloopa3611]

I just bought 2 of the 27" lava lamps. One is purple water & pink lava, and the other is blue water & yellow lava. They are ok, but have the same problems the small ones have- gets cloudy sometimes, starts to produce small bubbles intead of big ones after 4 hours sometimes, etc. But they help to make my 72" screen tv look more expensive. 🥳

[@e.m.h.5433]

Back in the days, when I was a schoolboy, I had the best lava lamp made in the former Soviet Union. It was half meter tall glass cylinder, filled with water and paraffin. The incandescent lamp at the stainless steel base was lighting up/heating the tri-colored bottom of the cylinder. All the bubbles had amazing shift of the tint and the saturation of the colors, while they were moving up and down. The construction was simple yet sturdy and the visual effect was stunning. Unfortunately it lasted just a couple of months: our cat made one really brave, but unfortunate jump and the lamp fell on the floor, shuttering the cylinder...Now, many years ago, I can not find anything similar to that lamp. For some freaking reason they are all made of the same shape. Tall cylinder looks the best, but...

[@donaldhall2037]

I just found a small one at a local road side dump site, it wasn't in a box, it was just sitting on the ground. I figured it wouldn't work since someone threw it away. Took it home plugged it up, the light came on and in about 1hr the stuff inside kinda moved up but nothing exciting. I took the bottle off the base turned it upside down, in the bottom was this spring like coral

[@HumanStateOfEmergency]

How much electricity does this use

[@reynardtmeyer5969]

Just love the accent! Real life Gru!

[@Stedman75]

I have this exact lamp, got it many years ago but the bulb burnt out, i tried a new bulb but no dice. I didnt use it for maybe 5 years and i decided to fix it up but i could only get 65W bulb. I turned it on again for the first time today and im 11 hours in and a blob has still not made it even half way up to the top. Its crazy how long it takes without 100W bulb. I think it would be great to be able to regulate the temperature better because 100W bulb is too much i think. Sure it takes a long time to get going but o ce it gets there it seems to then get TOO hot and you have to turn it off since all the wax gets stuck in small clumps at the top If there was a good way of getting it up to temp without the bulb the 65w bulb would keep it active much longer since the temp climbs super slowly.

[@anonymousplanetfambly4598]

Try a dimmer - rotary type, inline with the power cord. Wide open until the lava begins to flow, then dial it back 25pct.
