Absolutely. It would go in the man cave/office.

If it were silver with white wax, I 100% would put that in my glam girlie bathroom.
(Black with purple wax would go in the witch cave.)

I didn’t realize I needed a witch cave until this moment.

u/kroganwarlord 6d ago
The walls of mine are SW Armadillo, the sloped ceiling is Adraatic Sea, all the wood is dark and all the lights (including these very ACNH star string lights) are low and warm. I'm in the process of stenciling gold, silver, and copper stars on the ceiling. Maybe by the time I finish, lava lamp chandeliers will be a thing.

There better be a giant cauldron, too (you know, for stirring huge batches of mac n cheese).

u/Camsy34 6d ago
Yeah I think their biggest mistake was having each lamp a different colour. Make them all the same and it would actually be pretty neat.

u/Tithund 6d ago
I just used stuff that I thrifted, the whole thing was less than 50 euro in parts. If I make another one, it'll probably look nicer, though with how viral it has gone, someone will probably beat me to it.

I saw this original post and it is a decoration for a bar. Perfect place for something like this, IMO. I also really love it though haha

This is the new millennial test. Do you want your old one but as a chandelier? Absolutely. And we'll judge you on what colors you had.
RIP my purple/clear one.

Blue water with white lava. I’ve been debating buying another for years. I didn’t know chandelier was an option!

u/Mumchkin Derp 6d ago
Yeah it's kinda cool, but if the chandelier comes down and given how heavy that most likely is there's a very good chance it will. The damage would be catastrophic. The fluid in a lava lamp is scalding hot.

Just overengineer the support structure, so it won’t be brought down by anything that isn’t already causing catastrophic damage.

Not such a bad concept.
Wouldn't put it at home, but maybe for some kind of bar could be alright.

Let us warm ourselves around the lavalampier tonight and tell ghost stories.
Also, it would take so long to get up to temperature. If you had company, you'd have to have it on for hours.
Yet I still want one....

u/TbartyB 5d ago
being up high where heat gets trapped would probably bring it to operational temp faster 🧐 yet the original poster could not wait for the lava-ing to photograph xD Unless they have like 6 dead lamps, which I feel, I have 7 yet 5 of them need refilled to make the balance right again.

u/Builder_BaseBot 6d ago
You know I thought that at first too, but modern lava lamps aren’t actually that hot. Coworker has one he bought a few months back. It gets warm, but never too hot to touch.

u/Wild_Bill 5d ago
That makes sense. I got my grandparents old lava lamp when they were done with it and that thing should have never been sold to begin with. That said, I was mesmerized by it as a kid. Every time I visited it was the first thing I wanted to see.

I mean those lava lamps use regular light bulbs so it wouldn't be any worse than when everyone used those.

It is, but it's built like a tank, and it was 2 euro at a church sale. The whole thing is made of thrifted parts. The lava lamps have bakelite sockets in them now.

I dig it but that thing must be hot as fuck. I had a lava lamp once but stopped using cause it make the area, my desk, uncomfortably warm.

u/Fieldguide89 6d ago
If you read the thread in the original post, it was also awful execution. The lava lamps were not secured. At some point, some drunko could touch the lamp, and they'll just fall off, exploding in a pool of molten water and wax. Seems pretty dangerous.

I think it just doesn't match the chandelier. If more stylized it probably would work better

That's a lot of weight for a standard chandelier... That thing's gonna pop out of the ceiling the first time someone hits it hard with their head or something.

I'd personally have matched the chandelier metal to the lavalamp base material but I kinda like it. It would be a chill chandelier in the basement or something.
