<p>Hi everyone,</p>
<p>I'm new here. I joined because I recently picked up a 27-inch "GRANDE" at an estate sale and I'm a little apprehensive about what bulb to use. </p>

<p>Hi everyone,</p>
<p>I'm new here. I joined because I recently picked up a 27-inch "GRANDE" at an estate sale and I'm a little apprehensive about what bulb to use. </p>
<p></p>
<p>My initial impression was that this is a generic/knockoff lamp as one of the labels indicates it's made in China by Hua Xing Lighting Company (hence the "GRANDE" in quotes), but after looking at pictures of genuine Lava brand examples online, the proportions are dead-on and the water & wax colors appear to match the Lava 6821. I'm wondering if this is a genuine Lava Lite. The label also states it's a "6000 series", but I know that knockoff manufacturers also tend to mimic the model numbers of whatever they're copying. </p>
<p></p>
<p>Anyway, I fully expected it to use something larger than the 40-watt bulbs that the normal size lamps use, but I was a little surprised that the label recommends a 100-watt bulb. With the dubious origin casting doubt on the quality of manufacturing, I find myself wondering if this bulb recommendation is grounded in reality. I was expecting 60 or maybe 75 watts. </p>
<p></p>
<p>Can anyone tell me if this a genuine Lava Lite or a knockoff? </p>
<p></p>
<p>...and is a 100-watt bulb overkill/unsafe, or is that typical for a lamp this size?</p>
<p></p>
<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Hi there, </p>
<p>I bought a US Telstar from someone on this forum some years ago, and unfortunately the bulb has been burned out for awhile because I haven't been able to figure out where to get a proper replacement. Is there anyone who might be able to point me in the right direction towards finding a replacement that will work with this lamp? I really appreciate any help, and I'm sorry in advance if there is some obvious answer to this that I'm oblivious to. </p>

<p></p>
<p>Edit: Figured out (through trial and error) that this lamp actually requires a E12 size base, not an E14. Ordering this: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004OSH8P4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1">https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004OSH8P4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1</a> and hoping it's close enough to work (even though its only 25W and the lamp seems to call for between 30-40W)</p>
<p>On another note, does anyone know if it is normal for this type of lamp to have this type of socket? </p>

<p>Hi everyone! I just received a new astro from mathmos that I purchased for my father's birthday. It uses a gu10 35w bulb.

Can anyone tell me a good source for 240v bulbs and what kind (bright white, soft white...). Any help would be appreciated. I'm excited for him to open this thing up!

He had a vintage lamp that was unfortunately broken by movers a few years ago. Every so often he'll say how much he misses the lava lamp. I'm sure he's going to love it.</p> Light Bulb Socket for Homemade Lava Lamp?tag:oozinggoo.ning.com,2018-05-29:1566398:Topic:6767802018-05-29T19:11:31.404ZKitty Capulethttps://oozinggoo.ning.com/profile/KittyCapulet
<p>Hi all! It's been a while since I've posted anything. I'm still struggling with my homemade lava lamp concept, mainly the light socket and lamp base. I'm not sure what size or material would fit my project best. The globe is going to be an 800ml Voss water bottle, which has a diameter of 2.75 inches. I also can't decide what to use as a base, and how to keep the socket in place once it's in the base.</p>

<p>Hi all,</p>
<p></p>
<p>I recently had to replace the bulb in my Mathmos Astro Baby. It takes a 30 watt reflector bulb. The original bulb from Mathmos was frosted, and I got a new one from ASDA but it is clear.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I didn't think this should make any difference to the flow of the lamp, but I have noticed that after about 5 hours of operation there starts to be dozens and dozens of tiny pea-sized blobs of lava floating around, so it seems to be getting a bit too…</p>

<p>I didn't think this should make any difference to the flow of the lamp, but I have noticed that after about 5 hours of operation there starts to be dozens and dozens of tiny pea-sized blobs of lava floating around, so it seems to be getting a bit too warm.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Do you think this could be due to the bulb being clear rather than frosted? Has anyone experienced the same problem with clear bulbs?</p>

<p>Hi guys.</p>
<p>I've just bought received a new GU10 bulb from Mathmos for my heritage Astro. As you probably know, they are very expensive - £9.80 each!</p>
<p></p>
<p>When the bulb arrived, I noticed it does come in a little "Mathmos" bulb box.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I was wondering if anyone knows whether these Mathmos-branded bulbs are actually any different better than a cheaper bulb I could get up the high street?</p>
<p></p>
<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I have a model EB-986 rocket style lamp that I purchased 7 or 8 years ago from a thrift store. Recently, the bulb burned out.
