Monster Lava Lamps Are Hard To Find

I have noticed lately that getting your hands on a monster size lava lamp is difficult. There doesn't seem to be many suppliers at all, in fact I was only able to locate 2 suppliers. There prices however are insane, we are talking in the thousands. This one particular supplier is based in the UK.

I am guessing the reason why the prices are so high are because of two thing.

1: They produce this particular monster lava lamp themselves meaning they can pretty much put any price tag on it as they wish and promote the hell out of it to make it sound awesome.

2: Because there really isn't much competition, these suppliers can basically again put any price on these lava lamps.

It appears the demand for monster high lava lamps are high, I can only imagine that the very small amount of suppliers that are selling these lamps are making an absolute killing.

Have your say! Whats your thoughts?

Why Wont My Lava Lamp Flow?

This is a very common question among lava lamp owners. Why wont my lava lamp flow? It always helps to understand about how the lava lamp works in the first place and you'll find the answer very quickly. However that's why I created this blog.

The lava in the lamp is melted by a bulb that heats up the wax causing it to melt into flowing lava, depending on the size of your lamp, the watt of the bulb will differ.  In other words, the bigger the lamp is then a bigger bulb wattage will be needed.

The coil is basically what causes the lava to continuously flow and also works in conjunction with the bulb to keep the lava melted, the coil gets extremely hot and this is important so the lava doesn't cool down and turn back into a solid wax base.

The coil is located right at the bottom of the lamp, basically the hard wax sits on top of it.

So if someone was to ask me why there lava lamp wasn't flowing, I would say to them, make sure your coil is working and also the bulb as that's what mainly causes the wax to melt into lava and if it's not melted properly then it wont flow all that well.

Also there may not be anything wrong with your lava lamp at all, it might just require a bit more time, some take longer then others to fully melt, this also may depend on the density of the wax and oil, One could be taking a bit longer then the other.

If after all that it still doesn't flow properly, then it's possible it could be broken and you would be better off just buying a brand new one. They are rather inexpensive these days, of course that depends on the size. The giant ones can cost around $200 - $500 but if your like me, I love the smaller ones that fit perfectly on a table.

Do Lava Lamps Use A Lot Of Electricity?

With Electricity bills on the way up, more and more people are asking me: Do lava lamps use a lot of Electricity? It really depends on the size of the lava lamp. E.G: If you have a Tall standin floor lava lamp, as opposed to a small lava lamp that sits on a table then yes you are going to consume more
Electricity running it.

 Consider this? Generally a floor standing lava lamp has a bigger base, larger heating bulb and so will require more Electricity to heat the bulb, so that the lava will melt properly and give it's proper effects. At the end of the day I have many customers come to my storefront wanting big lava lamps that catch visitors attention, they seem to be not so concerned about the amount of energy they may be using but more so concerned about making their homes look and feel more homely with these awesome home decors Lava Lamps.

I have about 5 Big floor standing Lava lamps in my home and every month the Electric Bill arrives I haven't noticed any major upward shifts.

So despite the bigger lamps requiring more energy, it doesn't have that much of an significant impact.
