<p>I’m proud to announce a new option for filling empty lava and glitter globes with new glitter liquid that is made in the USA!</p>
<p></p>
<p>After several years of development and testing, I have created a new glitter liquid formula that contains flashy glitter flowing in a fast liquid. It’s not solvent-based. It’s water-based and much less toxic.</p>

<p>I’ll enable the ability to add items to your cart in the next day or two.</p>

<p>Hi All, </p>
<p>I just received my (new to me) Jet that was shipped with "the correct bulb" - which turned out to be a 30W R39 E14 OPAL spot bulb (ie not clear front).</p>
<p>Separately I received the bottle (with a few other bottles for the Telstar/AstroBaby - more on those in a minute). Put them together and the bottle wasn't doing ANYTHNG (barely getting warm). I replaced this with one of the "oversize" 40W clear R39 bulbs and it seems to have kicked it into life. (pictures to come)…</p>
<p>Hi All, </p>
<p>I just received my (new to me) Jet that was shipped with "the correct bulb" - which turned out to be a 30W R39 E14 OPAL spot bulb (ie not clear front).</p>
<p>Separately I received the bottle (with a few other bottles for the Telstar/AstroBaby - more on those in a minute). Put them together and the bottle wasn't doing ANYTHNG (barely getting warm). I replaced this with one of the "oversize" 40W clear R39 bulbs and it seems to have kicked it into life. (pictures to come) Green/Lime fluid seems to be slowly clearing.</p>
<p>My question is - What IS the correct bulb for a Jet?Now the 40W has been running for a couple of hours it seems a bit hot (lots of smal bubbles) - did it originally come with something like a 35W or did they just take an age and a day to warm up? (should it even be a reflector bulb and not a golf-ball style bulb?)</p>
<p>Now to the other bulbs. #1 Black/Plum with clear fluid - seems good if a touch low on the fluid - going to leave this one as it is, not broken so no fix needed. #2 Lime wax and a yelowish green fluid - loads of small bubbles and the fluid level's a bit low (it's below the cap on the AstroBaby). I think I need to top-up the fluid but not quite sure how best to do this. #3 pinkish red wax and clear fluid. Having to run this in the Telstar with the 35W Halogen at almost full power to get it started, turned it down now since it's flowing but the wax seems to have 'split' and seems rather grainy with a number of bubbles in it. Fluid level also low (again below the cap level). #4 was empty when I got it so no comments there, although the spring is missing so I'll have to work on that.</p>
<p>At the moment I have no idea if any if these bottles are on their original wax/fluid combination - most were weeping a little fluid when received so I suspect the seals are gone. I wonder if a top-up with distilled water will restore them to previous levels (pun not intended) or if I need to add something to them with the extra water to get them working properly again. </p>
<p> Your comments are welcome.</p>

<p>All the posts I have seen on this are over ten years old. I have a grande Lava lamp, which takes 100w reflector bulbs. I thought that these were banned now, but googling it results in a mass of confusion and contradiction. I have got some, which I presume are chinese knock-offs, which would account for them lasting only a few weeks and breaking almost every time I remove them.

I have got some, which I presume are chinese knock-offs, which would account for them lasting only a few weeks and breaking almost every time I remove them. People on here must have up to date information, are they still made by proper lamp manufacturers? What are people using instead? I thought of using a power led with a separate heater, and saw something from ten years ago proposing some new type of hybrid bulb, but again the trail went dead. What is going on? Any information appreciated. P. S. I am in the UK.</p>
