## Description

Product Description Invented by our Founder The Astro lava lamp was the first lava lamp designed by the inventor of lava lamps and the founder of Mathmos Edward Craven Walker in 1963. Made in Britain Since 1963 The Astro lava lamp has been made in Poole, Dorset, England for the best part of 60 years and exported around the world. The Mathmos team is platinum rated on Feefo should you require any after sales assistance. Cultural Icons Mathmos astro lava lamp is an icon of pop culture and is as relevant today as it was in the 1960s. Stylish Packaging Well designed gift packaging ensures your lamp arrives in perfect condition and is appreciated from the moment it is seen. Highest Quality Mathmos use only the highest grade aluminium and polish it to a high shine. Our bottles are hand filled in our factory making each one unique. Specs in the glass are a normal and unavoidable part of the production process and if there is a visible metal coil within the wax, this will settle as you run the lamp. Safety Tests You can be sure that Mathmos lava lamps have passed all the relevant safety tests. Ensure your lamp is placed in a suitable environment for optimum use, we recommend a room between 20-24 degrees and positioned away from a heat source, window or breeze. Unique Lava Formula Mathmos unique lava lamp formula has brighter, clearer liquids, and lasts longer than other lava lamps. Your lamp should warm up within 1-1.5 hours of being switched on. Bespoke Halogen Bulbs Halogen bulbs made specifically for use with Mathmos lava lamps direct light and heat into the lava and away from the base. Halogen bulbs are very delicate so should be handled with great care. Bulbs are guaranteed for one year.

Review: Brilliant lamp - Just absolutely amazing once the lamp heats up and the wax inside works it's magic moving up and down majestically. I find it very captivating to watch and is a real feature in our living room especially when switched on when completely dark. A real talking point with guests who are instantly drawn to it with its vibrant colours. Would look good in a bedroom too. These lamps appeal to all ages especially children who are enthralled by it and find the floating blobs of wax very amusing. Handy that they come in a choice of colours to suit different preferences. Comes in three pieces - cap, actual lamp and stand. If moving lamp around, it will be far easier if you disassemble those parts first rather than run the risk of dropping and potentially damaging a part as they are not permanently fixed and just sit loosely on one another. Of a very sturdy construction that will ensure a long life. My parents have one that is 30 years old at least and is still going strong!! Well worth purchasing as an interesting focal point in any room!
Review: Beautiful - This is my first lava lamp, I decided to go for a brand with pedigree in making them and I’m very happy with it. It’s well made machined aluminium, quite heavy and looks classy. Some points to note though, the lamp is in three separate pieces the glass bottle just sits on the base and could easily be knocked/toppled so it won’t be suitable to keep within reach of pets/kids. It also gets very warm in use so touching it when on is not a good idea. It takes a few thermal cycles to really start giving the desired effect, but after the first few uses it seems to get up to speed more quickly and the colours and motions of the lava are very soothing to watch. It comes with two bulbs the first one only lasted for one use which was very disappointing but the second one has been working well with no issues. I’ve bought a couple of spare bulbs from another brand but matching the same electrical output as the originals as back up. MATHMOS bulbs are way too expensive for a consumable item. I think it’s important to allow the lamp to fully warm up when switched on and then fully cool after switching off to prolong both bulb life and improve the lava flow with repeated usage. I also think switching the unit with the inline cable switch is safer for the bulb than leaving the inline switch always on and switching on and off via the mains socket outlet. I’m sure that’s how I blew my first bulb. Some people have complained about the bubbles that are visible in the glass, there are some on mine but they are very small and you really have to be very close to the lamp to notice anything. With the lamp in a sensible location in normal use I think the effect of this lamp is beautiful. I have the blue/green colours and I really love the effect it gives. It’s very vibrant and the lava flow is slightly different every time you use it. It is an expensive item for what is basically a novelty lamp, but being make in the UK from quality materials and considering how beautiful it looks I can only say I am very happy with it and I would buy it again if required, with no hesitation.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How long can you leave the lava lamp on for?**
A: Hello, We recommend that you do not leave your lava lamp on for more than 6 hours. This is so your bottle doesn't overheat which will reduce the life span of the bottle - replacement parts, including bottles can be bought on our website or Amazon shop if your bottle does reach the end of its life... which is normally 2000 hours or 10 years.

**Q: what is the height of the Mathmos Astro lamp and what is the size of the Astro baby?**
A: Hello, The height of both the Astro and Astrobaby are 43 cm!Hope this helps!Mathmos Team

**Q: Are these really worth 5 times as much as the unbraded ones?**
A: Very much so, the build quality is much better plus the bottles stay clear and good for years. Not to mention you can buy replacement bottles for a fraction of the price... In contrast, once the cheap ones go cloudy (fairly quickly in comparison!), you have to throw the whole thing away!

**Q: Is this really £80**
A: Yes, Mathmos pride themselves on offering a superior quality to other lamps. With a unique formula and hand-spun metal components (not cheaply made plastic).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth the price!
*by Q***T on 24 January 2026*

Really happy with my Astro lamp. I've had generic lava lamps since I was a kid, but I've never had an Astro lamp from the creators themselves. I figured the higher price point was largely due to the fact they're OG lava lamps, but it's actually FAR more too it. These are not a cheap novelty lamp, these feel really sturdy and high quality. These are hand made in the UK which is the biggest reason I got it over a generic lamp. I noticed the fluid dynamics of the Goo inside behave very differently to generic lava lamps I've used in the past. The lava itself behaves far more randomly and interesting rather than just a cycle of up and down blobs like the cheaper ones do. Possibly due to a superior formula and also perhaps due to the lower lamp temperature used to allow this particular formula they use to function without such high heat output. I imagine it's likely the case cheaper knock off uses a generic formula of lava and to function, needs higher temperatures, tbose higher temperatures force the lava to behave in much more cyclical patterns and motions. Just a theory. The lamp is also very big. Put on some pink Floyd and stare at this with the lights off and it is very cool journey. Also, the packaging was beautifully done. Very well packaged and very satisfying to unbox. As far as unboxings go, this was a treat! Lastly, it came with two free bulbs! Special bulbs for this lamp.
