Q: Does this lamp use batteries or does it need to be plugged in?
A: This is a mains-powered lamp, so it needs to be plugged in to work. It comes with the required power adaptor and cable right in the box.

Q: Is this bright enough to light up a room or read by?
A: The Plasma Lamp is designed to create a fun, atmospheric glow rather than for task lighting. While it produces a brilliant display, it's not intended to be a primary light source for a room or for activities like reading.

Q: Does the lamp get hot? Is it safe to leave on all night?
A: The glass globe can become warm to the touch during use, which is normal. For safety, we recommend switching it off when you're not around to enjoy it and not leaving it on unattended overnight.

Q: How does the sound-reactive feature work?
A: The lamp has a setting where the plasma beams will pulse and dance in time with sounds around it. Just play some music or clap your hands nearby and watch the light show respond to the rhythm!

Q: What happens if the "bulb" goes? Can it be replaced?
A: The Plasma Lamp is a self-contained unit filled with special gases, so there isn't a traditional bulb to replace. The internal components are designed to last for a very long time, providing thousands of hours of enjoyment.

Q: Does it come with a plug and power cable?
A: Yes, everything you need to power the lamp is included in the box. It comes with its own power adaptor and cable.

Q: How big is the plasma lamp? Will it fit on a desk?
A: It's a fairly tall lamp, making it a great statement piece for a desk, shelf, or bedside table. It has a slim base, so it doesn't take up too much surface space.

Q: Is this suitable for a child's bedroom?
A: Absolutely, it's designed to be an engaging and educational feature for kids and science lovers. As it's made of glass and is mains-powered, we'd just recommend placing it on a stable surface where it won't be easily knocked over.
