Mathmos 'Fireflow O1' Uses Mini Candles, Not Electricity
Marissa Brassfield — August 6, 2009 — Eco
These Mathmos Fireflow O1 lava lamps are an environmentalist’s dream, as the ‘lava’ is heated by tea lights rather than electricity.
Lava lamps have come back into vogue with the help of eco-minded individuals, who prize the 60s-era lights because they don’t consume much electricity. Since Mathmos Fireflow O1 lava lamps are powered by tealights, I don’t see why these bad boys wouldn’t fly off of shelves.
Each tealight will power the Mathmos Fireflow O1 lava lamps for about three hours.
