It may be tempting to keep the lava lamp on throughout the day, but doing so can make it overheat, which will cause the blobs to stop moving. The colored liquid forms a single giant chunk that starts floating and transforms into other shapes when the lamp overheats. You should turn it off and allow room for it to cool. After cooling to room temperature, the lava lamps can function again and be used for up to eight hours. Do Lava Lamps Consume A Lot Of Energy? Handling the LampWhen moving or adjusting the lamp, turn it off and allow it to cool. Shaking or jostling a hot lamp can cause permanent clouding of the liquid.

Change the Bulb CarefullyThe longevity of a lava lamp is usually dependent on the life of its bulb. When changing the bulb, be sure to replace it with one of the same wattage to avoid overheating. Lava lamps, an iconic retro decorative item, are revered for the soothing, mesmerizing blobs they produce. These visually appealing lamps have been enticing people since their introduction in the 1960s. However, one concern arising among many lava lamp owners is whether these pretty table lamps bear any risks or pose potential dangers. While they can be potentially dangerous if used improperly, certain safety measures can easily prevent these risks. Here, we discuss some potential hazards of lava lamps:Don’t Tamper With the ContentsNever attempt to add anything to the lamp or remove the liquid. This could disrupt the delicate balance inside the lamp. Due to the heat produced, some wax lying above the filament touches the coils and conducts heat to expand. Upon expansion, it becomes less dense, making it rise above the water inside the lamp. Through convection, the wax moves up when it expands and down when it cools in a circular motion. These movements make the wax appear like overflowing lava hence the name lava lamp. Is A Lava Lamp A Safe Option For Household Use? With a great volcano decal style, this original lava lamp could be the right decorative piece to include in many homes. The use of a volcano design seems very appropriate to show off the liquid wax motion resembling hot lava. This lamp is a bit on the smaller side considering its 14-5 inch height but that should reduce your enjoyment when the wax starts flowing in the light. Another safety issue with these lamps is toxicity. You don’t have to worry since the interior contents of the lava lamp are not toxic. It is just water and wax, and for this reason, you shouldn’t be very concerned even if your lava lamp was to break. The fumes produced are also non-toxic. Despite their being non-toxic, you should not consume the water or any liquid from the lava lamp. What Things Should You Consider When Using A Lava Lamp?

Additionally, the waxes and glass within the lava lamps come in many different colours such as: red, pink, purple, blue, green, yellow, rainbow, gold, and silver. Always set all parts at room temperature before switching on the lava lamp and unplugging it from all outlets before disconnecting its parts. The fluid inside a lava lamp can look tempting for children or pets. If they accidentally ingest this fluid, it can cause illness. Therefore, it is advisable to keep lava lamps out of reach of children and pets.

Despite its simplicity, this device requires specific care to ensure its longevity. Here’s a list detailing the best practices for maintaining your lava lamp.Some of the safety instructions are keeping the lava lamp away from direct sunlight.

Be Careful When Changing The Bulb An instant mood-booster and stylish decorative accent, the iconic lava lamp represents a mesmerizing addition to any living room, bedroom, or recording studio. The original concept of liquid motion lamps exploded in popularity during the 60s and 70s. It seems that many retro enthusiasts have revived the lava lamp trend in recent times after it has fallen out of favor for a while. Although they’re technically lamps, these items work more like decorative pieces because they don’t provide a lot of light. Use the Correct VoltageAlways plug your lamp into a power source corresponding to the voltage specified on the base of the lamp, to ensure the bulb isn’t overly strained. Lava lamps come with specific safety instructions to enhance your user experience and to help protect you and your household from possible hazards associated with the light.
