These things are pretty cool. It's like looking at a science experiment. Fusion and fission at work.

 

 

 

I have the one from the second pic.

 

I love lava lamps but wish they would modernize the housing. I remember when I was young I would sleep downstairs in our front room so I could wake up and watch Saturday morning cartoons. Before I went to bed though, I would flip on our lava lamp and be lulled to sleep by its hypnotic dance.

Did your family ever have one of these "oil dripping lights"?



We had two or three hanging in our house. I remember reaching up and touching the slow drips as they came down.

I never heard of it. It looks pretty cool.

My uncle had one of those lamps, but I never knew what it was. I think by the time I was a kid it was broken. I think he got rid of it in like 1992. 

It takes forever for the bubbles to form in mine. Probably because I have the ceiling fan on and I'm not letting the lamp warm the room.

I have a few and i used to have one of those oil dipping lamps.
