No new owners of Lava Lite....it is just a name change. The name is an umbrella of sorts to cover all the brands they make and market.<br />

<p>I have terrible luck with 52oz. Lava Lite lamps. Don't think I've ever had a good one. I still can't tell if this is dye (it wasn't there until the 3rd run tho) or crispy stuff in the coik. It looks terrible. </p>

<p>Well, of course I had shit luck with this. I felt hopeful after seeing the other lamps on here, but after only three runs, I have this. The first two runs were amazing. This last run, it ran for about 8 hours and there is all kinds of gunk (dye?) in the wax that was NOT there before.</p>

<p>I bought one Saturday and have ran it every night since. It too has taken a long time to warm up and the flow was lazy. Tonight I placed it on a shelf with four other lamps (extra heat).

<p>I saw this lamp boxed at Spencer's recently and immediately rolled my eyes (I've been hard into the 17 inch colormax series only lately, which I totally love), especially with the square box it was in- I guess I'm the only one who likes the cylinder packaging. I find it is the best use of storage space and the tube is way sturdier than any square boxes I have ever dealt with and I also put one over a lamp sometimes to get it going faster on the slow starting ones. </p>
