More lava lamps

Mathmos had a sale on spare Lava lamp bottles around Christmas, so I bought a couple of new-to-me colour combinations.

The lamp I have came with orange wax in purple liquid, which gives a strong red glow in a dark room. I bought blue wax in purple liquid, which I think looks fantastic and works really nicely with my Rob Sheridan print.

The other one I bought was pink in clear, which is nice, but I think the coloured liquids add a lot to the tone of lighting in a room.

Recently, UK vid-blogger Techmoan did some really nice videos about Mathmos lava lamps: Best Lava Lamp? and LAVA LAMPS Giant, Mini & Neo.
