A 9.5-Inch Colored Tornado Light This tornado light has a lot of the same shape, contours and physical looks of a classic wax & mineral oil “Lava Lamp” but it gives it a creative twist. If you look inside you will see a tornado like swirl of bubbles and translucence that both serves as a functional form of ambient lighting, as well as the sort of passive entertainment light you can chill out to. A Battery Powered Tornado Light With Visual Flair This tornado light also takes a turn away from the classic “Lava” style lamps in that it doesn’t use an energy guzzling heating element to produce it’s stunning visual effect. In fact this tornado light is so energy efficient that the designers engineered it to run for hours and hours on just 3 simple AA batteries.
