Initial Set Up

First

  1. Take the bulb out of the white box within the packaging and screw inside the lamp base making sure it is not loose.
  2. Place the base on a flat surface and put the bottle on the base making sure it is central and upright.
  3. Add the top cap.

Then

  • Plug in and turn on the inline switch.
  • The lamp will take up to 2-3 hours to start flowing.
  • The lamp may take a few uses to work at its best to disperse air bubbles in the liquid.
  • Air bubbles in the glass are normal and not a product defect.

Where to place your blob lamp...

Picking the right spot can help your lamp to work effectively so consider these:

  • Place on a level surface ...no wobbles please!
  • The room should be between 18 and 24 degrees centigrade, any colder and the lamp may struggle to work or may not work at all; any hotter, the lamp and its contents could overheat and damage the lamp.
  • Keep out of direct sunlight - overheating and colour fading hazard.
  • Keep out of the reach of children under 14 - the lamp could be hot and is also breakable.
  • Do not handle when hot.

Top Tips

  • To prolong the life of your Blob Lamp try not to use for more than 6 hours a day.
  • We recommend the use of an automatic timer for convenience.
  • Lava lamps - overheating can result in no movement of the lava or many small blobs of lava.
