History of Lava Lite

The first motion lamp was designed in 1963 by an English engineer, Edward Craven Walker, who marketed it under the name Astro Lamp. In 1965, two American entrepreneurs saw the Astro lamp displayed at a trade show in Brussels, bought the rights to market the lamp worldwide and formed the Lava Corporation in Chicago. The Astro Lamp was renamed the Lava Lamp and an American icon was born.

The original manufacturer of Lava Lamps, Lava Light delights in satisfying the cravings of lava-lamp aficionados with a continual offering of new lamps — everything from glittered and patterned varieties to cool and quirky color schemes, color-phasing vortex styles, and more. Lava Lite s selection of replacement bulbs, electrical cords, globes, and beaded globe wraps help keep each light operating in style and at peak capacity.
