In use
Set the Splattered Distortion 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.
From buyers
What buyers say about the Splattered Distortion
Great looking lava lamp with a fun color combo
This is a great looking lava lamp. The blue liquid has a slightly foggy, translucent look, and the orange wax gives it a bright, retro, psychedelic style. Once it warms up, the wax flows normally and consistently, and it's fun to watch.The size is good for a shelf, desk, or side table, and the overall look matches the product photos well. I especially like the color combination. It has a calming effect in the room, but still looks interesting and decorative.It does take some time to get going, which is normal for lava lamps, but once it is warmed up it works well. The bulb size is standard for this type of lamp, so replacement bulbs should be easy to find when needed. It feels quite warm to the touch, but not dangerously hot.Overall, I'm very happy with it. It looks pretty, works properly, and has been a hit in the room where we put it.
Not able to use
It's great but I was thinking it was bigger. And the light bulb it came with doesn't work.
Great addition
The lava lamps are definitely a hit and are making a comeback LOL I remember these from when I was a kid so I thought they would be a fun addition to my grandchildren's bedroom and they love them. Just remember when you turn them on they take a few minutes to heat up. It's a great size and addition to any room they're beautiful and fun to watch
Murky/cloudy liquid.
