What you get

The Erupting Crater, in three points

  1. Yellow wax, red liquid

    Yellow wax in red liquid, with a lava-flow decal on the base. At 14.5 inches it suits a desk, a nightstand or a dorm shelf.

  2. Full flow in 2 to 3 hours

    The wax softens, stretches into a column and breaks into blobs. A new lamp can take up to 6 hours on its first run.

  3. Bulb in the box

    The 25 W bulb is the light and the heater in one. When it burns out, fit the same wattage.

In use

Set the Erupting Crater on a flat surface out of direct sunlight, in a room of 68 to 75°F, and switch it on. The wax flows after 2 to 3 hours. Switch the lamp off after 10 hours at most and give it 2 to 3 hours to cool before you move it.

Check before you buy

  • Your spot has 4 inches of flat space and 14.5 inches of height, on a desk, a nightstand or a dorm shelf
  • An outlet is within reach of the cord and its on/off switch
  • Small children and pets cannot reach the lamp while it is on: the globe gets hot

Pick another one if

You want motion without a wait. A glitter lamp or a battery mini moves from the first minute.
