I always wanted one of these, and it didn't disappoint. After the initial 'alien embryo' stage when the wax is first melting, the thing is fascinating to watch. It does get hot, and after being on for some time the 'lava' breaks up into smaller and smaller blobs. All of this is described in the instruction manual, so none of that was a surprise. Getting a genuine Mathmos pays off, because you can always get the correct bulb and if you want a change or your current one gets tired you can buy a different coloured bottle easily. Everything else is high quality that feels as if it will last for years.

This is an attractive lamp even when it's turned off. But when it's on and warmed up, the turquoise color really stands out. It runs for hours and hours with beautiful, mesmerizing flow. Take note: this lamp comes with a 35W E14 SES halogen bulb designed for 240V mains, which is almost impossible to find replacements for in the US. If you don't want to use a voltage transformer with the lamp, your best bet is to look for a "40R14FL E14 130V" incandescent reflector. There is a business in Florida that carries the right bulb for this lamp. Then all you need is a UK > US plug adapter.

Matmos is the original and well worth it. Came in original packaging and worked perfectly right out of the box (using a step-up adapter because this is a UK device).

But sooooo expensive. Expected it to be a massive one like my other 2. So was very disappointed to receive the regular size. But the colour is fad and unusual
