just bought a lava lamp. Can I run it 24/7? Lava lamps work by heating up parafin (wax), which is lighter than the liquid when warmed up. The 'lava' drops to the base where the warming lamp is when it cools off. Repeat cycle. Eventually the liquid warms up to the same temp as the liquid parafin and the cycle stops. |

If so, the recommeded run time is 10 hours at a stretch: http://www.lavaworld.com/Use_care.cfm Never operate your motion lamp for more than 10 hours at a time. This will insure proper operation and a long globe life. |

The one I bought is... http://www.googlestore.com/product.a...=GO0153&orig=P After having several lava lamps -- both "real" and copies, I've concluded that they work better if they are not run continuously. Coninuous operation results in the liquid disappearing more quickly and the lava blobs getting smaller and smaller. Shaking the hot liquid is a definite no-no as the lava disintegrates never to reform properly. TKM |
