For a friend, trying to find this lamp and bulbs.…

Just reposting instructions I like to send sellers when I purchase a lamp that's traveling via USPS etc. I'm posting as originally written by Weebotech. I modify it a bit as per my lamp situation.

I just did a search here to copy it again so thought I'd post for others who have never seen it or hadn't saved.

Dear Seller,



I am providing this page so that I may receive my purchase in as pristine condition as possible. I know I'm picky with these instructions,…

It's been awhile, but I really could use all the expert opinions that are available here.....Would anyone care to answer a few for me?



First a little back story...

I purchased this Christmas 2015 a Lava Grande from Amazon, in a yellow wax/blue liquid format with silver base and cap. It arrived to me (NEW OUT OF THE SHIPPING BOX) dark and cloudy (the liquid). I am rather upset about this, and the seller REFUSES to admit one sent me a faulty lamp. One has claimed back that I…

I have an all original 1975 Model lamp, I have been messing with the coil and have lost a little liquid out of it. I need to add  a couple of ounces but I am not sure what I can add that wont hurt it. I was told mine has different chemicals than newer ones. Any ideas?

I have a 1975 model Lava lamp that no longer works. It lights up but the goo doesn't blob and rise like it should. It is a 1975 model 300 Carlisle. the only thing different is the spring in the bottom is broken.

picked up this lunar on ebay uk at £1950 if I'm not wrong... is there anybody left with some sense ?

So I have a 52 oz clear/blue gookit that I'm not feelen anymore.  The blue has turned into a weirdo bizarre plum color that is notorious with the blue dye that comes from MT Goo.  I'm going to dump a butt ton of blue or violet in this lamp to make the goo look almost black, then make a food coloring blend to the orange I like and make my orange and black Halloween lamp out of this clear/blue that i'm not liking anymore.  I came to the conclusion if I really want a true blue lamp, I'm either…

The album draws near, so pumped.

Will have the double press black 180, signed, nightlight and CD, so…

Hi all,

I require a base unit for the above. Earlier this week the lamp stopped working ; switch it on and nothing happens. After a discussion with Mathmos she suggested I try and see if someone here might have one available as they stopped making this particular model some time ago.

Any advice/comments/suggestions appreciated

Thanks for reading

On December 6th at 3:35AM my Purple/Yellow Colossus exploded.....yes you read that right.

I had to get a bit of distance between then and now before I could post about this.  The week that this happened had to be one of the worst weeks of my life.  Here's the low down........

Monday....go to work to find that a power outage at work and as a result I had to deal with (I.T.) problems that resulted, not the worst day but a good start to a bad week…
