Mathmos bulb handling and care

IMPORTANT! - FITTING MATHMOS HALOGEN BULBS

  1. Handle the bulb with great care; halogen bulbs are extremely delicate.
  2. Allow the bulb to warm to room temperature.
  3. Made sure your lava lamp is in the correct position.
  4. Use a tissue to hold the bulb; deposits on our fingers can damage the bulb.

    GU10 bulbs: Carefully push the two prongs of the bulb down into the socket and turn it a quarter-turn clockwise until it stops rotating.

  5. Place the bottle on the base delicately.
  6. Turn the lamp on using the inline switch.

Important

  1. Never touch the bulb or the lamp when it is on.
  2. Allow the light to cool for one hour before touching the bulb or lamp.
  3. Do not run your lava lamp for more than 6 hours at any one time.
  4. Always leave the bottle sitting on the base when you turn it on.

  1. Q. My lava lamp is faulty what can I do?
    A. Firstly read through these FAQs to see if your question has been answered. If not we offer a one year warranty on all our products and two years if bought direct from our websites. If your lamp is within the warranty period, please contact our customer service team who will be happy to assist. Please read our Faulty Product Returns Advice.
  2. Q. What are the differences in quality between a Mathmos lava lamp and others?
    A. A different lava formulation giving better lava flow, longer life, clearer liquids and more vivid colours. The metal parts are of a thicker, higher grade metal allowing us to hand polish them to a high shine. Our bulbs are directional taking the heat away from the base and directing the light into the lava. We have a higher standard of safety and build quality audited by a number of different bodies. We provide a comprehensive range of spare parts unlike other throw away products. We have 56 years of British manufacturing excellence to draw on.
  3. Q. How long should it take for my lava lamp to warm up?
    A. Lava lamps should start working within an hour to an hour and a half of turning them on. First they will form stalagmite shapes, then they will start to form lava lamp shapes.  Please note, new bottles will take longer to heat up (up to three hours), but the heating time will decrease after several uses.

    If your lava lamp does not warm up in this time it may be positioned in the wrong place or the room may be too cold. Lava lamps should be positioned away from drafts and air conditioning. The room should be at least 20 degrees centigrade.

  5. Q. What is Mathmos doing about halogen bulb phase out?
    A. Don’t worry whilst some halogen bulbs are being phased out for lighting purposes Mathmos uses halogen bulbs primarily to heat its lava lamps rather than to light them; so the use of halogen bulbs in our lava lamps is part of a special purpose exemption under current regulations. We have large stocks of these special purpose bulbs and we also have an ongoing supply. We also have alternative ways of powering our iconic lamps should there be further changes to the regulations in the future.

  14. Q. You don't provide a dimmer with the iO?
    A. The iO runs best at an ambient temperature between 20 and 25C and under these circumstances will not need a dimmer. Sometimes when the temperature is higher it may be better run the product with the lamp dimmed. Plug-in dimmers suitable for halogen lamps are available and can be used with the product.
  15. Q. Do I need to fit the glass shield for my iO?
    A. Yes, this is an integral safety component of the product.
  16. Q. How long should it take for my iO lava lamp to warm up?
    A. The iO Lava lamp should start working within two to two and a half hours of turning it on. First they will form stalagmite shapes, then they will start to form lava lamp shapes. Please note, new bottles will take longer to heat up (up to three hours), but the heating time will decrease after several uses. If your lava lamp does not warm up in this time it may be positioned in the wrong place or the room may be too cold. Lava lamps should be positioned away from drafts and air conditioning. The room should be at least 20 degrees centigrade.

  17. Q. I am having trouble changing the bulb on my iO
    A. Ensure that the product is unplugged and cool. At first glance the bulb looks too long, however, the contacts are spring loaded. Locate one end of the bulb on the pin and gently push, the other end of the lamp can then be located on the other pin. Refit the glass shield.

  18. Q. Do I need the heat ring?
    A. Yes, this is an essential part of the heating system for the lava.
