I have been playing with the idea of putting in white wax and clear water and the instead of a normal bulb, the install an LED ring + a heating lamp that don´t emits any light but only heat…Continue
Ways to make a lava lamp less light?
Started by Dee Pocha in Problems & Questions. Last reply by Keith 2 hours ago. 1 Reply 0 Likes
I know it seems counterintuitive, but I have a lamp with white wax and clear fluid that I would like to light from the back with RGB LED lights instead. The lightbulb inside is pretty bright, but I need it to warm the globe to make the lava flow. If I were to add the RGB lighting behind it, the existing light coming from the lamp would cancel out the coloured lighting. Is there any way to make my existing bulb dimmer while still having it function properly as a warmer?Continue
Trying to crack the original formula- why was kerosene used?
Started by Ant Bee in General Goo. Last reply by BR4X 3 hours ago. 131 Replies 4 Likes
In my quest to figure out exactly what the original formula is, one thing I haven't figured out is why they used Kerosene in the mixture. It seems like it was a very small part of the mixture, something like 7% by volume.But what was the point? Did it act as a preservative, or enhance the flow, or help to bind everything together?Speculations?Continue

Fluid swap? (Mathmos Astro)
Started by lampfancy in Problems & Questions. Last reply by lampfancy 18 hours ago. 22 Replies 0 Likes
Hello - Just a bit of an appeal for information for anyone who has experience of lamp bottle ‘transplants’ (particularly Mathmos)Have never been much of a 'tamperer', but having recently received a couple of fairly disappointing Astro bottles, I thought I might attempt to salvage the situation a bit by looking at them as potential ‘candidates’ for a fluid swap In theory this should be straightforward enough, but having never attempted attempted it before am a bit nervous about it, just…Continue

This was the lamp I posted the other day. The bulb it came with wasn't heating enough to get it to flow so i bought a new one at the store. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=peBeOKfn2xAI keep comparing to my mathmos that I think has a good flow https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBnT3JDpJxwShould I fix it or is it fine as is? I enjoy the constant motion and blob variety of my mathmos…Continue
cleaning MSR filter for drinking
Started by Michael Strong in Off Topic. Last reply by Lamp Addict on Sunday. 5 Replies 0 Likes
So I bought an MSR filter a while back to filter out my lamps. It wasn't working for me. It kept on getting clogged, and I was filtering Grande, so you can imagine how annoying it was to stop and have to clean it out every 500ml. So recently I purchased a Büchner funnel filtration kit to do my filtering for my other lamps. I want to clean out the MSR, so I can use it when I go hiking. So does anyone know how to clean it out to get it back to water consumption use? Would it be advisable to even…Continue
Rain Lamp not flowing....
Started by Skorpion Moon in Problems & Questions. Last reply by Skorpion Moon on Saturday. 3 Replies 0 Likes
....Would this be the correct forum to post this in? I have a small elephant rain lamp that won't flow all the way around or for very long. When started you can hear the pump, and the oil begins to flow, but on only about half the strings. Then the flow slows to almost nothing. It worked great for the first two years I had it.Continue
