Frequently Asked Lava Lamp Questions

How do Lava lamps work?

The idea is quite simple really. Take water and wax that don't mix together and add a little heat, in this case the bulb. The heat from the bulb makes the wax warm and less dense and so it rises in the water and, as it cools it falls. This process repeats creating that groovy lava effect.

Who invented the lava lamp?

The idea for the lava lamp came to a man in a pub, Edward Craven-Walker, when he watched a home made egg timer bubbling on a stove. He worked with a British inventor David George Smith to develop the idea into the product you see today. So that`s who invented the lava lamp.

When was the lava lamp invented?

Following the teaming up of Edward Craven-Walker and David George Smith the Astro Lava Lamp was invented in 1963 and patented in the UK in 1964. It was also submitted for patent in the USA in 1968 by their company 'Crestworth'. Lava lamps have been in production ever since.

What is in a lava lamp?

The exact ingredients are kept secret by manufacturers but essentially water & wax. Water is used as it is see-through and dyes can be added to colour the water. The wax, a mix of mineral oil and paraffin wax is coloured in contrast to the water to create a vivid display. Add an incandescent or halogen bulb for light and heat.

How long does it take a lava lamp to start working?

This all depends on the size of your lamp, the bigger it is the longer it will take. Normally a small lava lamp will take thirty minutes and a larger lamp up to one hour and a half. If your lamp is new and has never been used it can take up to six hours!

Can you leave a lava lamp on all night?

It is possible that you can leave a lava lamp on all day and all night but it is not recommended. The lava lamp if it gets too hot can cause the floating blobs to split into smaller & smaller blobs losing the great lava effect. Use your lava lamp for 8 hours or less and it will reward you with years of service.
