Black lava/Orange Liquid Question???

[Carol]

Saw the pic on Spencer's website for the orange liquid/black lava lamp.  Thought fall/halloween!!!  After going there and seeing it up close and personal was very disappointed at how dark it was and commented on how it was not like the pic at all!!!  Susan at LL said that was the most complaints that she had every gotten on a lamp as far as color is concerned!  Anyway, might take a ride when hubbie gets paid.  I'm really wanting the Neon green 52 oz lamp.  My son has one and i'm likeing the flow and color.  I know, I know CHINA, but I like it.  Anyway, my question on the black/orange is......

Does anyone own one and what is the chance of it looking decent with a bit of back lighting???  Maybe putting it in front of say a lamp that has some small night light bulbs in it??  Will that work or is it still too dark to waste putting money out on......they are on sale for 22.99 and I believe the sale is still on.  I do make them open up the boxes, unpack them and plug them in b4 I leave the store.  The only thing I can't check is the flow unless I wanna spend 3 hours or more at the mall and come back, lol!!!  Don't think they'll go for that.....

This is the one, but was going to buy new....

Check out these pics from Erin.  I like some sort of back lighting, or a white wall behind for black wax globes, even if the water is clear.

Definately makes it look better!! In spencers it was too dark to even see the lava......might have to get the black orange. I do like it.

Blackgoos are sometimes called day lamps. I run my clear black Colossus at night w/ backlighting and during the day without. ♥  Erin's pic makes me wanna take a trip to Spencers too. If I remember right she redid the liquid in this one???

ut oh deb.............time for a Spencer's trip!!!  I feel one coming on!!!  lol!!  That's a really good idea, running the black lava's in the day.  I have a classic black lava/clear liquid that looks nice day or nite, but again the liquid is clear.  I really wanted that black/orange one last halloween and ended up coming back with 2 52 oz neon's.  A purple for me (which I gave up on, still have but fried it), and a neon green for him.  I fried both letting them run non stop and just replaced his with the same neon green but i gave up on my purple.  I had them open 6 boxes and they were all pretty much shot out globe wise.  So I got a 52 oz. pink liquid/white lava which i love!!!  (for being china anyway, lol).  Anyway, I wanna grab one before they go away.  That's if there is any left.........
