Lava lamp maker expands into contemporary lighting

Remember those funky lava lamps you had when you were in high school and college? You probably didn't know they are made by an Elk Grove Village-based company and you will undoubtedly be surprised to know the maker is updating the look by entering the conventional lighting market. Lifespan Brands is now offering lava lights that are part of larger, conventional lamps with shades and a 60-watt bulb.
