## Description

Product Description Invented by our founder The Astro lava lamp was the first lava lamp designed in 1963 by the inventor of the lava lamp and the founder of Mathmos, Edward Craven Walker. Made in England since 1963 The Astro lava lamp has been manufactured in Poole, Dorset, England for almost 60 years and exported all over the world. The Mathmos team is rated platinum on Feefo in case you need support after purchase. Cultural Icons The Mathmos Astro lava lamp is an icon of pop culture and still as relevant today as it was in the 1960s. Stylish packaging Good packaging design ensures that your light arrives in perfect condition and can be appreciated from the first moment. Highest quality Mathmos uses only the highest quality aluminium and polishes it to a high gloss. Our bottles are hand filled in our factory, making each one unique. Inclusions in the glass are a normal and inevitable part of the production process. There is a visible metal spiral inside the lava, which will position itself on the bottom of the bottle once the light is in use. Safety test You can rest assured that Mathmos lava lamps have passed all relevant safety tests. Make sure your light is placed in a suitable environment for optimal use. We recommend a room with a temperature between 20 and 24 degrees and away from heat sources, windows or draughts. Unique lava formula The unique formula of the Mathmos lava lamp is brighter, clearer and lasts longer than other lava lamps. Your lava lamp should heat up within 1-1.5 hours after switching on. Tailored Halogen Bulbs Halogen bulbs specially made for Mathmos lava lamps conduct light and heat into the lava and away from the base. Halogen bulbs are very sensitive and should therefore be handled with great care. Bulbs are guaranteed for one year.

Review: Brilliant lamp - Just absolutely amazing once the lamp heats up and the wax inside works it's magic moving up and down majestically. I find it very captivating to watch and is a real feature in our living room especially when switched on when completely dark. A real talking point with guests who are instantly drawn to it with its vibrant colours. Would look good in a bedroom too. These lamps appeal to all ages especially children who are enthralled by it and find the floating blobs of wax very amusing. Handy that they come in a choice of colours to suit different preferences. Comes in three pieces - cap, actual lamp and stand. If moving lamp around, it will be far easier if you disassemble those parts first rather than run the risk of dropping and potentially damaging a part as they are not permanently fixed and just sit loosely on one another. Of a very sturdy construction that will ensure a long life. My parents have one that is 30 years old at least and is still going strong!! Well worth purchasing as an interesting focal point in any room!
Review: Beautiful - This is my first lava lamp, I decided to go for a brand with pedigree in making them and I’m very happy with it. It’s well made machined aluminium, quite heavy and looks classy. Some points to note though, the lamp is in three separate pieces the glass bottle just sits on the base and could easily be knocked/toppled so it won’t be suitable to keep within reach of pets/kids. It also gets very warm in use so touching it when on is not a good idea. It takes a few thermal cycles to really start giving the desired effect, but after the first few uses it seems to get up to speed more quickly and the colours and motions of the lava are very soothing to watch. It comes with two bulbs the first one only lasted for one use which was very disappointing but the second one has been working well with no issues. I’ve bought a couple of spare bulbs from another brand but matching the same electrical output as the originals as back up. MATHMOS bulbs are way too expensive for a consumable item. I think it’s important to allow the lamp to fully warm up when switched on and then fully cool after switching off to prolong both bulb life and improve the lava flow with repeated usage. I also think switching the unit with the inline cable switch is safer for the bulb than leaving the inline switch always on and switching on and off via the mains socket outlet. I’m sure that’s how I blew my first bulb. Some people have complained about the bubbles that are visible in the glass, there are some on mine but they are very small and you really have to be very close to the lamp to notice anything. With the lamp in a sensible location in normal use I think the effect of this lamp is beautiful. I have the blue/green colours and I really love the effect it gives. It’s very vibrant and the lava flow is slightly different every time you use it. It is an expensive item for what is basically a novelty lamp, but being make in the UK from quality materials and considering how beautiful it looks I can only say I am very happy with it and I would buy it again if required, with no hesitation.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful Lamp with Classic Retro Charm
*by A***N on 2 July 2025*

I absolutely love my Mathmos lava lamp in purple and orange. It is such a beautiful piece and really brings a warm relaxing vibe to the room. The orange wax actually looks more like a reddy pink when it floats near the top which is a lovely surprise and gives it a nice contrast against the purple liquid. It takes about an hour to fully warm up but once it gets going the lava flows smoothly and is really soothing to watch. Perfect for winding down in the evening. The quality is excellent too. It feels really well made and the chrome base and cap look absolutely stunning. It has that classic retro look but still fits in nicely with modern decor. Overall I am so happy with it. It is a stylish calming addition to my space and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a bit of atmosphere.
