<p>Hi everyone,</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></p>
<p>- Rinsed out with distilled water</p>
<p>- Refilled until about an 2 inches of space was left at top</p>
<p>- Used 4 table spoons of dissolved Epsom salt in a new solution.</p>
<p>- Poured that into lamp with rest of distilled water</p>
<p>- Used maybe 1/2 teaspoon of bubble solution for the surficant</p>
<p>This resulted in what you see above. </p>
<p></p>
<p>Then I emptied out a bit of the liquid and replaced about an inch with pure distilled water and about the same result.</p>

<p>For those that are on a tight budget , and wish to own a color change Grande. I may have a solution.</p>
<p>I have rebuilt the Polished base that I was using as a test rig.</p>
<p>Due to an "Incident" I have replaced the power supply, socket and dimmer.</p>
<p>The only thing wrong with this base, is that a small tiny section of 4 RED LED's that are dead and a few small dings from the globe that didn't wish to be in one piece any longer...<img src="http://www.bkserv.net/images/Grin.gif"></img> . </p>

<p></p>
<p>The cap seems to have took the brunt of the damage-see pics</p>
<p>These 3 dead RED LED's are barely noticeable when lighting such a large globe.</p>
<p>I will not sell it as new, so this base and cap are discounted to $100 plus shipping</p>
<p></p>
<p>THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE THE GLOBE , QUART of M.T. GOO,. OR BLACK-LIGHT DYE)</p>
<p>I do have ONE globe prepped if you want it, PM me</p>
<p><br/> For those of you that have made a black-light Grande lamp (Dr WHaT?), you are already 1/2 way there.</p>
<p>At the price of $100.00, this is less that it cost me to have this base hand polished and to cover the costs of all the electronics including the heating element.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Please see attachments for pictures for additional color combinations of the RED LEDs that are not working</p>
<p></p>
<p>If you want it, PM me.</p>
<p>i will accept Paypal and have it shipping out to you in the am within 24/48 hrs.</p>
