Live Lava Lite Webcam. Groovy man...
Like many people I've been calling the bubbling lit-from-the-bottom light full of coloured liquid a "Lava Lamp" all these years. No, they're Lava Lites.
It recently came to my attention that there appeared to be no live webcam featuring a Lava Lite anywhere on the interweb. So, I remedied the situation by setting up this free Lava Lite webcam. From what I can tell, it's the only Lava Lamp webcam on the internet.
Now whenever you want to enjoy the magic of a Lava Lite you can through the magic of your browser. Just come back here to enjoy this Lava Lite webcam at your leisure.
The reason there are two Lava Lamps is to rotate them throughout the day. Lava Lamps shouldn't be left on 24 hours a day which is why these two are on timers. One or both should be on at all times. The larger one on the left is on from 8:00 am to 10:00 pm. The smaller one on the right is on from approx. 8:30 pm to 8:00 am Pacific Time. That means that approx. 8:00 pm to 8:30 should be dueling lamps.
