Lava Lamp The Beatles Lamp - Rubber Soul

As a massive Beatles fan and overgrown manchild who always wanted but never bought a lava lamp, this, especially at its reduces less than £20 was a no brainer. The lamp comes in a very well packaged and attractive tube box, itself well protected in a huge Amazon box, and is a piece of cake to set up.Simply unwrap all three parts, place the bulb, pop the glass lamp into the base and put the little hat on top!When first plugged in (and subsequently too) it will take a good hour to get warmed up enough to get the lava bubbling away so be patient. Also check the the metal filament is resting in the base of the lamp, otherwise it won't work as well.Once it gets going, it's a beautiful and relaxing thing to behold and the coloured glass enhances the effect no end.In short, a very well made item and will take pride of place with any Beatles fan.

Bought one, had to get them all. This Sgt Pepper version has white wax in a clear liquid that appears to change colour from white, to pink, to yellow, due to the outer glass of the bottle being graduate tinted.Some easy assembly is necessary but as that entails the lighting base (with card / felt bottom), the sealed bottle and the top. The assembly will take no more than half a minute. A bulb is included and the 5ft long lead has a switch midway.The lamp comes in a nice cardboard tube with Beatles graphics. You'll need to Stanley knife the tape around the end of the tube or risk tearing the tube. Note, that when removing lamp from the packing tube, the heating coil may be seen to be dislodged and trapped within the wax. This is usual and switching the assembled lamp on for about an hour will see the heating coil drop to the bottom.

This was ordered as a gift, however I have opened it to have a little look at it. As another reviewer has said the spring coil on the yellow wax is pointing at the wrong angle...I don't think this should be visible but it is ( sideways). I briefly tried to get it to move so it is facing down by moving the lamp different ways but was unable to do so. I am sure with patience this can be achieved. I do not know what it is like when switched on...hopefully nice. I would certainly not pay the full price for ithis item but for under £20.00 it is a good little gift for any young Beatles fan (this is for an 8 year old).

I bought this as a Christmas present for my younger brother who's a huge Beatles fan, after reading some of the reviews I was quite worried about the size and if the décor would look too tacky however I was pleasantly surprised and my brother has it on all the time, he seems to love it!

I thought this was an actual lava lamp. With oil floating up and down. Instead there are gold.stars. I love it though and its quite hypnotic watching them rise and fall. I got it at a great price too ( £12 odd) I was watching it for a while as the price rose and fell,grabbing it when it dropped dramatically. I'm glad I waited. It's smaller than I thought it would be but I think the measurements are in the description that I didn't read. Looks good too with the black and white design.

Lovely..Got my husband the album for his birthday so bought this to match however the smaphor characters in black on the lamp do not mirror the album cover? Works really well and is a proper lava lamp as apposed to glitter..Takes a while to heat up but that makes it authentic

The colours in these lava lamp are just amazing, I find it mesmerising. It takes a while before the wax is warm enough to start floating but it's worth the wait. The lamp gets very hot when it has been on for some time so it's important to be cautious - I wouldn't recommend it for people who have kids. Great present for a Beatles fan!

Am delighted with the lamp and was very impressed with the speed at which it arrived. Unfortunately the bulb had broken and I did have to buy a new one. Otherwise, fine.
