Colour changing lamps

My daughter had a spherical lamp that changed colour all the time, but it got broken, we`re finding it very difficult to get another that is mains operated, rather than batteries. Does anyone know where we can find one, please? If I can get one, I`d like it to be part of her Christmas present.

Was it like this ? Or Mr Resistor does a sphere but it has rechargeable batteries.

this one is mains powered And it's by Mathmos, so should be good.

I can`t see the Mathmos one, it says page can`t be displayed. The first one looks good, in that it`s almost unbreakable, she knocked the other one onto the floor and broke it, it was glass. The only drawback is that it`s battery, albeit rechargeable, will look into it. Thanks ladies, I`ll try the other one in the morning.

Bought my teenage granddaughter one of these last year, and she still loves it.

here it is on Amazon Numberplease. You should be able to see it there.

I think Mathmos were the first to come out with the lava lamps.

Mathmos are (or certainly were) made in England so I would buy one of those in preference to one from ( probably) China.

I`ve had another look at the links, and checked out the specifications, and realised that they`re too small, she wants one at least as big as her last one, it was quite a decent sized sphere. I did find one like it a while back, but it was in the USA, and was reluctant to take a chance on it, maybe I should have. A lot of what I`ve found online are meant for children, and she`s a bit beyond that stage.

www.ormrod.com/ this shop is quite near me and they have yet to fail on any lighting based request - the best.

Lauralaura, thank you, but they don`t have anything resembling what I`m looking for.

Interesting Treebee, that`s very similar to what she had before, maybe a tad smaller, will have to try and have a looksee in B&Q.
