Lava Lite 14-1/2-Inch Classic Lava Lamp, White/Blue with Blue Chrome Base Review
Yes, the fluid in this is cloudy from day 1. Solution: don't put it on a white background! Jeez, folks, it's not that big a deal!
What is a big deal is that the lava motion of this lava lamp doesn't work after a few weeks. I've read on the forums that this is a very common issue with no real good solution.
Well here's what I found to get around it: The bulb they give you is a 25 watt refrigerator bulb. This is too hot. Put in a 10 watt. It takes longer to heat up (about 3-4 hours longer), but it works once heated.
Sometimes the wax will get stuck at the bottom. Even though they tell you not to, shaking the lava lamp will correct this for about 3-4 days of use. A lot of people are probably reading this and thinking it's stupid, but honestly, the fluid is so cloudy in the first place that it's really not made way too much cloudier by the shaking. Most of the cloudiness will settle out after a few hours too.
One last tip: the heating coil is a big problem too. For some reason, the wax will start to adhere to it and won't do the lava motion after a while. Turning the lava lamp such that the coil is flipped over is a good solution to this.
If you were really ambitious, you could drain the fluid and replace it with something less dense (maybe an alcohol?), then reseal it. You could also change out the coil, if you were so inclined. I thought about doing this, but it's really okay as long as you do the steps above.
All in all, you get what you pay for, and you're only paying .99 for a pretty cool-looking lava lamp.
