lava lamp
Blobby mood light
A lava lamp is a decorative light containing colored wax that rises and falls in slow, blob-like shapes when heated by a bulb at the base.
The mesmerizing movement became iconic of 1960s and 70s psychedelic décor: We watched the lava lamp for hours.
The term sometimes describes anything with similar flowing, amorphous motion.
