50 years of Lava

Now that Mathmos 50th has ended and there Ann. was a great success with all of there great looking lamps and many new Classics I wonder what LLs 50th will be. Mathmos is still a great icon that is still made in England however LL as an icon is now made in China so is it really considered an American icon. Will LL be releasing said 52z and 32z in there 50th gold color and will they still have the Heritage formula lamps that were to be the best that they could make using premium parts.

We shall soon see what they will have for this year and what there greatest 50th Ann. lamps will be.

This may seem pretty crazy but I have seen the colormax globes to have the paint rub off where the metal base touches the base but also the paint smells very nasty when the lamp heats up, I wonder whats in it?

As with most of the color painted globes the paint will start to wear off the base as it is touched and moved. Also the ones that have that caution label on the painted globe at times as you try to remove it you also remove the painted area.

LL has a nice looking photo of there 50th line-up However they forgot to add the 52z Century lamp which would have been a great sell for them.

Coming soon from LL this new Beatles version. Hopefully a few of them will be in the 32z size along side the 20z line-up.

Here are 3 LL Classic Beatles lava/glitter lamps to look for to add to your collection. The center glitter version has been seen with Star shaped  silver glitter in a clear liquid.

How many Lava collectors like the new look of LLs lamps as they continue to make the Wraps. On the few that I have owned over time like within a yr the wraps have started to loosen there grip and you can see the wrap as it starts to raise from the metal base.

Hi Bohdan! Have you seen the earth one? I am wondering what it looks like in person?

I have seen them however they are the 20z globes which I stay away from.

We should be seeing a few more LL Beatles lamps early in Sept. It looks like that glitter version will be with silver stars within.

I like the silver stars in the glitter. If these have good flow, they would be very nice lamps to keep. I do like the silver glitter one :)

We love the look of the silver star glitter version also and just may buy a few to make a 52z Beatles version.

They look to make a wonderful addition to the Classic versions of yrs ago.
