What’s the best way to care for a Lava Lamp?
Do not loosen or remove the cap on the top of the globe. Do not move, shake or drop your Lava Lamps while it is warm. This may cause permanent damage, such as the lamp becoming cloudy or the lava breaking apart. If this happens, turn the lamp off immediately and let it sit undisturbed for 24 hours. Turn it back on and run as normal.Do not place the lamp in direct sunlight, as this will cause the colours to fade.
Is it okay to leave my Lava Lamp on overnight?
We do not recommend running the liquid lamp while sleeping, as this lamp must not be used for periods longer than 8 hours at any one time. Overheating will shorten the life of the lamp.
