my newest obsession....
not the greatest photos

**DavidQD** · 11-07-2009, 03:15 PM

Quite the collection. Are they new or vintage?

**Fluivelip** · 11-07-2009, 03:53 PM

Takes us back!

I'm not sure if I like that reminder!

The photos are fine! There can be quite the variety!

**AlbrtJhnsqw** · 11-07-2009, 04:03 PM

they're mostly from before the factory moved from chicago to china in 2003 (you can tell by taking off the top cap and looking at the bottlecap below it. if lava lite is written in red, it's chicago. if it's just a sticker on the cap, china...). there have been lots of quality control issues since the move. i had to take back two china ones because they didn't work!
i'll try to take some photos today of the different series.....

Looks like the windowsill of an apartment in my neighborhood-do you have a second home in Seattle

?

It gives a disco atmosphere!!! Nice!!

**Centurnion** · 11-07-2009, 07:26 PM

Wait? Do I smell something? Is someone passing something around? You missed me.

**AlbrtJhnsqw** · 11-07-2009, 08:28 PM

pass the dutchy on the left hand side....

i mean.... ummm....

**SteantyjetMaw** · 11-07-2009, 09:18 PM

Great, now I'm going to have that song in my head all day...

**SergeyLisin** · 11-08-2009, 12:09 AM

HA! Dude, totally psychedelic! Takes me back many, many years.

Who'd ever imagine that lava lamps would be one day manufactured in China then sold to nostalgic Americans and not work. Perhaps there will be a recall. I can see the headline now - "Bum Chinese Hippie Lamps Under Recall" - what has the world come to?

**SteantyjetMaw** · 11-08-2009, 12:43 AM

Yeah, watch out for the lead too, Bri...

**BDDkDvgZ** · 11-08-2009, 02:35 AM

I love them!!!

Ok, so I always thought they were silly but you have changed my opinion 180.

**AlbrtJhnsqw** · 12-07-2009, 02:53 PM

yup. quite relaxing....

**Nglvayhp** · 12-07-2009, 07:38 PM

Love 'em! Makes me want to get some Psychedelic art and Black lights!!!

**Theariwinna** · 12-08-2009, 01:35 AM

Sweet! I only have one, but I love it. So what if some think they're tacky...they're totally cheerful-looking and relaxing.
