What you get

The Groovy Gradient, in three points

  1. Yellow wax, purple liquid

    Yellow wax in purple liquid, on a fuzzy flocked base with a swirl print. At 14.5 inches it suits a desk, a nightstand or a dorm shelf.

  2. Full flow in 2 to 3 hours

    The wax softens, stretches into a column and breaks into blobs. A new lamp can take up to 6 hours on its first run.

  3. Bulb in the box

    The 25 W bulb is the light and the heater in one. When it burns out, fit the same wattage.

In use

Set the Groovy Gradient on a flat surface out of direct sunlight, in a room of 68 to 75°F, and switch it on. The wax flows after 2 to 3 hours. Switch the lamp off after 10 hours at most and give it 2 to 3 hours to cool before you move it.

Check before you buy

  • Your spot has 4 inches of flat space and 14.5 inches of height, on a desk, a nightstand or a dorm shelf
  • An outlet is within reach of the cord and its on/off switch
  • Small children and pets cannot reach the lamp while it is on: the globe gets hot

Pick another one if

You want motion without a wait. A glitter lamp or a battery mini moves from the first minute.

From buyers

What buyers say about the Groovy Gradient

    Nice lava lamp

    I really like the colors of the liquid and the lava and the design on the base and cap but I think it would be better if they just painted the design on the base and cap. The pattern doesn't line up on either the base or the cap resulting in a seam running down the back that doesn't look that good. I am still keeping mine but it would be nice if the company would correct this so it looks better

    Questionable quality with new wax formula

    Schylling changed their wax formula and the quality and performance has significantly decreased. Lamps often arrive very cloudy and the flow is very stiff. The instructions say to let it run and it will improve but that has not been the case with several that I've tried. Adding additional chemicals or a dimmer to control the heat in the only way to achieve the look of classic lamps.

    Broken light

    The lamp was cool. Everything worked as it should except they sent a broken lightbulb in it, and I had to buy my own.
