I doubt it does what it is advertised as, but it is still a cool lamp.

cool functioning lamp, does not have dc plug in, it has a usb plug that plugs in to a computer . It is a rechargeable light so you can unplug it and take it anywhere you want to use it as long as it is charged.

It fits into the lamp and works.  Colors seem to be about the same as with the official lamp.

The lamp was easy to put together and it looks nice.

It's still running and I enjoy watching all the lights. I have mine sitting on top of a replica 'Colby' radio with an antique mirror in the back. I put an extra 'blacl-light' at the bottom of the mirrow and the 'overall effect' gives a nice atmosphere to my apartment. If this one wears out, I'll purchase another from the same company.

Very interesting lamp. The rotating part of the base feels somewhat filmsy and sloppy. Light output is adequate, but a bit low for 12W LEDs. I think the 12W figure includes 5W for the charge port, so it's at most a 7W lamp. Could have less blue LEDs on the base, as it has just 7 power levels and not 12.

It is a very nice lamp, but the touch on/off button gets accidentally touched when trying to move the lamp. The charge on the lamp doesn't seem to hold as well as other lamps...maybe due to accidental on/off switching going on? It has a nice smooth neck that is easily adjusted to wherever you want the light to shine.

I can't comment on bulb life atm, but it seems to serve its function fine.

The lamp is lighter weight than I thought it would be but it serves the purpose that I bought it for.

If you look closer, it looks cheap but still a pretty nice lamp for the price

have had it up for about a week and even though it does not get direct sunlight until the afternoon it is working just fine. It provides a good bit of light.

Patience pays off for this cool little lava lamp. Viscosity and density variations mean the "red" side takes quite a bit longer to get moving than the "green" side, but both get rolling within a few hours (those looking for "instant on" action are ignorant and delusional -- lava lamps cannot work that way). The base and cap are silver plastic, which cheapens the appearance quite a bit; I would have gladly paid more for real metal on the finish. Unlike the old metal bases, though, the plastic does not get too hot to handle even after many hours of use. The glass "bottles" are pretty hefty, which makes the unit a tad top-heavy, so be sure to place it on a stable surface that doesn't get bumped often by you, kids or pets. The box suggests that there are many other color combinations possible, but there is no clear way to order them -- Amazon.com should try to offer them so buyers can customize their lights for various moods, seasons, etc. I'd recommend this to anybody who enjoys watching lava lamps, but not to someone who is looking for an authentic "retro" repro; this is not your weird uncle's Astro lamp.

The lamp itself is quite nice; it has a sort of ridged, tapered body. Not perfectly made; you can see imperfections in the lines, but it sort of reminds you that this is ceramic. The orange color is nice and bright -more of a tangerine, especially when the light is on. The shade doesn't use a harp; it uses a bulb clip which means you see the shadow of the wire goting from the top of the shade to the clip; and the shade is often a bit crooked because it's not screwed down. Minor, but something to keep in mind. Overall, it's a great lamp for the price if you're looking for something with a bold color.

I've had this lamp for over 6 months in our living room. Considering the price, I didn't expect it to be more than mood lighting; but it actually does a great job of filling our small living room with soft, bright light. I bought this at IKEA and bought the recommended light bulbs at the same time. One of the bulb is flickering now (the reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5), and I don't know if the problem is the bulb or socket. The paper shade has held up to our cat rubbing on it and pawing at it (declawed). I think children or pets could tear the shade, but so far it's held up and survived a move.

Update: I've had this lamp for 1.5 years so far and give it 5 stars. The flicker stopped, I think we didn't have the bulb in all the way. One of our kittens managed to rip it a tiny bit on one side, but other than that it is still holding up!

I've always wanted one of these. Even though the purple/green combo wouldn't have been my first choice, the price for that one in particular was too low to pass up.
It's a cute little lamp. I put a decorative 15-watt chandelier bulb in it and it's STILL almost too bright to look at. Unfortunately the filament of the bulb lined up with the clearest part of the shade, so it might not be so bright if the filament was behind the purple part. Anyway, I'm going to experiment with other bulbs and even a bulb extender to bring the filament a little closer to the top. If after all is said and done it's still too bright, I'll either just put a nightlight in it, or I'll buy an opaque replacement shade for it that will cut down on the glare.

It's a very fun lamp and kids/teens would enjoy it much. Love the color yellow - very sunny (like dandelion, not at all lemony like my monitor shows me). The only concern is it might be a little unstable (the base is not that wide so with the kids it might tip over. Also (I promised one, didn't I) the wire is thick and black, you kind of want to hide it for a full effect, but the switch is a little further, so you have to keep it close. If somehow the switch would be integrated into the lamp, somewhere behind, hidden, it would be much better. But anyways, very cute little lamp!

A nice lava lamp does what its supposed to doesn't get too hot if being used for quite a while.
