blood-red lava lamp for sale?

[meagan rodgers]

does anyone have a blood-red lava lamp for sale? i can't find a single lava lamp with blood-red. it's always too light. it must still be blood-red when turned on. thanks.

mathmos yellow/red lamps/bottles have a very very deep red wax but its also a very bright lamp.

the yellow fluid makes the red appear much redder than clear or violet fluid.

if you can get mathmos stuff where you are im sure you would be happy with the colour of the wax.

IN spencers they had a purple red lamp that looked like a blood urn lol pardon the reference to dark shadows the movie

Adam is right.  I have a Mathmos US Telstar that's yellow/red.   I did take an extremely crappy picture of it a few days ago and you really can't see it well at all.  When I get them set up in the right place, I'll take some more pictures.  It's "very" red wax.

i cant get good pics of it either, ive tried 2 cameras and it always looks pink, but in reality its red as it gets and such glossy silky wax. :)

The pictures on mathmos uk site are close and the best ive seen but its even better and redder in real life.

I don't have the best of cameras but still usually take half-way decent pictures, Adam, but I can't get one of that Telstar right either.   I love the wax in mathmos lamps.  It really is glossy and silky, and looks really squishy too.  The clear/turquoise I have is a gorgeous color too.

I tried my panasonic lumix cam and phone, but most other colour lamps come out fine. Thats just how bright the red is it overwhelms the camera.

Clear/turquoise is nice and i have a telstar in that colour and have always been tempted to get a clear/pink to go with it.

I was very tempted to get a clear/pink too.  I got a violet/orange.  I would like to have one more clear one other than the turquoise though.  I love the Telstars.   I don't think my camera takes the best of pictures, at least true colors.  My purple glitter Wizard came out lookin blue.

thanks a lot guys! please attach the picture as soon as you can :)

Meagan, go to Amazon and type Mathmos Telstar in the search box.   It will bring up one, but has a drop down box where you can see all the colors they have left.   These are Mathmos US and are wired for US current.   Look at the yellow/red.

Earlier I lamented to my son about how my camera sees this photo for example:

Every single thing in that pic is the true color, except that last lamp-and it is purple as you please in person.  I jus don't get it...

That is exactly what mine does to purple, Jus, it always comes out blue.  Go figure?   Of course, my first attempt with this new camera made terrible pictures.   Do you turn "off" the flash or leave it on?

I take lots of pics both ways (with & w/out flash), and from lots of different angles.  Then when I sit down to really look at the pics, I can usually find some that look good enough to keep.  This color issue I can't figure out...
