"Hi Michael, I was ONLY referring to one particular lamp that you had for sale for $149, not any of the rare ones. The rare ones are not similar to anything available for sale now, so a higher price is justifiable. I don't collect rare lamps so…"

Do you have experience with liquid wax dye?
1 Reply
I want to change the color of the wax in my grande lamp. I have liquid wax dye. Since the dye is an oil, I am afraid if I add a lot of dye to make a rich or a dark color, it will thin out the wax and…Continue

"Hi Michael,
I'd like to ask why you priced the 14" lamp with purple wax at $149. A lamp like that can be bought brand new sometimes even for $20. As you see on this site many many people here customize their lamps. So, even if somebody…"
"Hi Todd,
To get it flowing much faster scoop out or siphon out some of the water and bring it to a boil and pour it back in. It will get to 110 in no time.

Heat resistance of Borosilicate glass
Hello All, On the topic of Borosilicate glass, I just want to relate my experience. I made a glitter lamp out of a 2000ml Borosilicate glass graduated lab cylinder. I heated it with a clear reflector 100 watt bulb from a Grande lamp. the bulb had a small space between it and the bottom of the cylinder. I wasn't worried about heat because my thinking was that - Borosilicate glass is used over open gas flames in the laboratory. I figured that the gas flame must be hotter than any light bulb could…See More

- Something Interesting About Me:
- As a kid I spent much time looking at lava lamps in catalogs. The original gold-ish base yellow liquid red wax and then the blue/green version. I remember thinking how hideously ugly and stupid the “Mediterranean” wrought iron one was. I was obsessed with their tag line “The light of a million moving shapes” I spent LOTS and LOTS of time wondering how you would count how many shapes there were. HOW could it be done!?!?
- Where I Live:
- New York City
- My First Lava Lamp was:
- Green and yellow Grande
- My Collection Includes this many Lava Lamps:
- 7
- My Favorite Lava Lamp is:
- 14” purple liquid yellow wax
