Introduction
Welcome to your new Rabalux Lollipop 2 Lava Lamp. This manual provides essential information for the safe setup, operation, and maintenance of your lava lamp. Please read these instructions carefully before use and retain them for future reference.
Important Safety Instructions
- Heat Warning: The lava lamp generates heat during operation. The glass bottle and base can become hot. Do not touch the lamp when it is on or immediately after turning it off.
- Not for Children: Due to the heat generated, this product is not suitable for small children. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
- Indoor Use Only: This product is designed for indoor use in dry environments. Do not use outdoors or in damp conditions.
- Stable Surface: Always place the lava lamp on a flat, stable, and heat-resistant surface to prevent tipping and potential damage or injury.
- Ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation around the lamp. Do not cover the lamp or place it near flammable materials.
- Power Supply: Use only with the specified voltage (230V) and ensure the power cord is not damaged or pinched.
- Do Not Shake: Avoid shaking or moving the lamp while it is warm, as this can permanently damage the wax and liquid, causing cloudiness.
- Bulb Replacement: Only use an E14 G45 25W incandescent bulb as a replacement. Using a different bulb type or wattage may cause malfunction or safety hazards.

Operating Instructions
- Turn On: Locate the in-line switch on the power cord and flip it to the 'ON' position. The bulb in the base will illuminate.
- Warm-up Time: The lava lamp requires a warm-up period for the wax to begin flowing. This typically takes 2-3 hours, depending on the ambient room temperature. During this time, the wax may form shapes or remain at the bottom before starting to flow.
- Normal Operation: Once fully warmed, the wax will begin to flow and form various shapes, creating a mesmerizing visual effect.
- Turn Off: To turn off the lamp, flip the in-line switch to the 'OFF' position and unplug it from the power outlet when not in use for extended periods.
The Rabalux Lollipop 2 Lava Lamp adds a decorative touch to any indoor space with its unique light effect.
Care and Maintenance
- Cleaning: Ensure the lamp is unplugged and completely cool before cleaning. Wipe the exterior surfaces (base, glass bottle, cap) with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse any part of the lamp in water.
- Bulb Replacement: If the bulb burns out, unplug the lamp and allow it to cool completely. Carefully remove the glass bottle and then unscrew the old bulb. Replace it with a new E14 G45 25W incandescent bulb. Reassemble the lamp as per the setup instructions.
- Storage: When storing the lamp, ensure it is cool and clean. Store it upright in a safe place to prevent damage to the glass bottle.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
| Wax does not flow or moves slowly. | Allow 2-3 hours for initial warm-up. Ensure the room temperature is not too cold. Verify the correct 25W bulb is installed. |
| Liquid is cloudy. | Cloudiness can occur if the lamp is shaken or moved while warm. Allow the lamp to cool completely and remain undisturbed for several hours. If cloudiness persists, it may indicate permanent damage. |
| Lamp does not light up. | Check if the power cord is securely plugged into the outlet. Ensure the in-line switch is in the 'ON' position. Check if the bulb is screwed in correctly and is not burnt out. Replace the bulb if necessary. |
| Wax stays at the bottom or top. | This usually indicates incorrect operating temperature. Ensure the correct 25W bulb is used. Allow sufficient warm-up time. Avoid placing the lamp in direct sunlight or very cold drafts. |
