## 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.

## 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).
