After 4yrs in storage, I've finally got my original Mathmos Telstar lava lamp out and running. I've had this for 30yrs now, I remember getting it from them on one of my visits to London. The metal could do with a good polish, and it's got a little dent on the back... But it's so much better than all of the cheap knock off ones you see, and I remember being a little kid and loving the one my folks had and always wanted my own.
I replaced the bottle about 10yrs ago, as they don't last forever. But you can still buy original replacements online.
It also uses an incadescent spotlight bulb... So if that fails, I'll have to figure out a replacement as LED won't work.
But for now, got some more peaceful mood lighting in the bedroom.
