The first option is to use baking soda and vinegar. Pour 1 cup of oil and 1/4 cup of of vinegar in your container. Drop the food colouring in. Mix 1 teaspoon of baking soda with 1 teaspoon of water and slowly pour it into the container. You can use your homemade lava lamp over and over until it stops reacting with the Alka-Seltzer. We dropped in at least 6 tablets into each of the lava lamps you see in the photos and they were still going strong.

Users should heat the lava lamp only by a halogen bulb and not via any other heat source. For example, if you try to heat it on your kitchen stove, it can explode. Also, you should avoid exposing the lava to direct sunlight or, even worse, keeping it outdoors. It will not only result in the wax fading and hardening but also in a potential risk of fire hazards. Needless to say, storing it near fireplaces and other heat sources is prohibited as well. It’s better to keep your lava lamp indoors, at room temperature. Why it made the cut: When the vibe is heating up, but you don’t want to wait for the light show to warm up, the JBL Pulse 5’s 360-degree app-controlled ambiance is available at the press of a button. The phrase “lava lamp” typically evokes an eclectic, psychedelic color pallet akin to what you’d find at that store in the mall that always smells like patchouli. That’s usually correct, but it’s not always the case. Some lava lamps embellish their look even more by adding glitter and other fun pollutants into the mixture to liven up the light show. Others tone it down a bit and give off more of an ’80s Art Deco vibe. None of them are particularly subtle, though, so if you’re looking for something to complement your Kanye-style all-white living quarters, maybe it’s time to get a regular lamp.Most of the time, you’ll find that the height refers to the total height, so the actual glass area (which companies typically refer to as the “globe”) will be shorter than that. Color Luxurious with rich golden tones, this striking lava lamp by Blob Lamps moves away from the bright neon colour schemes of the classic lava lamp to create a modern classic with a more grown up feel. Bold with a metallic gold finish, this curved lava lamp has a large inner that contains white wax flowing inside yellow fluid, resulting a warming golden glow with constant, captivating motion. A flamboyant lava lamp, this golden lamp brings sunshine to your interiors, creating a soothing, calming atmosphere. A lava lamp is a fascinating decorative piece that can deliver not only illumination but much fun and entertainment as well. The exact makeup of lava is a secret but generally, it’s a blend of wax and oils that do not mix together. This combo is housed in a glass vessel with a halogen bulb underneath. This bulb heats up the wax within. Any lamp has a thoughtful design with a few inches left on the top for the gases that need some space for expanding. Why it made the cut: Make sure you get the big one if you want to make sure everyone who enters your house says, “Hey, is that a lava lamp?” It looks a bit like a trippy missile, but this 16-inch lamp’s size helps it make a statement in a room. Green wax floats around in blue-ish liquid, which gives it a very sci-fi vibe. We know it’s wax in there but if you wanted to pretend it’s some kind of alien ooze, you could likely do so while still moderately sober.

As lava lamps are made mainly of glass, they can break easily. So, it's strongly recommended to keep a lamp out of the reach of small children and pets. Store it on a horizontal flat surface to avoid mixing of the liquid and wax within. Place it in areas where you can easily view it but it won’t disturb you. Shaking the lamp during operation is also a no-no.

Table Lamps

Why it made the cut: It’s truly a classic lava lamp that won’t overwhelm your room with psychedelic nostalgia. I hope this provides you with a few reasons to get to know Green Earth better. Whether you are a potential customer, a small business partner, or a future employee, we look forward to finding out how we can work together. Clean the globe of your lava lamp from time to time, using soft sponge and water. Make sure you unplug it at least two hours prior to cleaning. Oil is hydrophobic, literally meaning that it fears water. Oil repels, or doesn’t absorb, water, which is why they don’t mix.

Green Earth’s culture is defined by a simple set of values that define how we operate every single day – Trust, Care, Innovation, and Pride. They reflect how we interact with our clients, our colleagues, and our communities. We hold each other accountable for creating a company we can all be proud to work at.

Break the Alka-Seltzer tablet into small pieces about 5-8mm wide. If you drop in the whole tablet it gets so fizzy that you can't see clear bubbles.
