LL's Shipping way too expensive to buy product from.tag:oozinggoo.ning.com,2018-12-13:1566398:Topic:6846482018-12-13T21:03:32.320ZThe Lamp Caretakerhttps://oozinggoo.ning.com/profile/TheLampCaretaker
<p>Does anyone here know if LavaLite is having a holiday sale this year. They have great deals on some instock items but are charging a ton to ship which has never been the case. They always offered free shipping in December. So far nothing. I was hoping to buy several lamps for family members for Christmas but when I hit shipping it was something like 60.00 to mail 40.00 worth of product. Whats up with that?</p>

<p>Last October I received a lava lamp for my birthday. It's a european model - the globe is 20cm tall and it's powered by a 30W 240V reflective light bulb in E14 R39 size.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The instructions on the box say that it works best in room temperatures of 20-25 deg. C. And last October it was working great (I can put a video on Youtube if you want). On average, about 6 blobs of wax were moving around different parts of the globe at any given time.</p>

<p></p>
<p>The thermometer on my wall was indicating a room temp. of <strong>21 deg. C</strong>. I also managed to measure the outside temperature of the glass globe with an infrared thermometer and it was abot 54 deg. C when operating.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Now that it's December and the room temperature has fallen to <strong>17 deg. C</strong>, the lamp seems to have trouble warming up fully. After 6 hours of running, the best it can do is produce two big blobs that make it halfway up the globe and start to fall back down, separating into smaller blobs in the process. Using the same infrared thermometer, the globe's outside temperature is now only 51 deg. C.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Is there anything I can do to make it work like it should? I've checked the bulb and the glass is still as clear as when it was new. Also, the lamp is right next to my wooden cupboard and far away from any windows or draughts. Today I tried slightly unscrewing the bulb in its holder to bring it upwards a few mm closer to the globe. Still waiting to see if it has any effect.</p> Inline Cord Dimmer Found...Tried...It works!tag:oozinggoo.ning.com,2011-01-05:1566398:Topic:1834652011-01-05T23:57:52.745ZScotthttps://oozinggoo.ning.com/profile/0n3ea8efkqts7
To All: I know that we are constantly struggling to find a way to keep the flow consistent and all too often we find the need for a dimmer on the lamps. I looked around and found a hi low off inline switch available from <a href="http://www.txlampparts.com">http://www.txlampparts.com</a> Part TR-165. It is a replacement for the click switch found on most lamps. They placed a tiny diode to shift the full wave to dim the lamp. It is UL listed and looks OEM on the cord. The only problem is…

I looked around and found a hi low off inline switch available from <a href="http://www.txlampparts.com">http://www.txlampparts.com</a> Part TR-165. It is a replacement for the click switch found on most lamps. They placed a tiny diode to shift the full wave to dim the lamp. It is UL listed and looks OEM on the cord. The only problem is that it fits the smaller gauge wire without modification, but the bigger gauge found on newer lamps may find it tight. They handle up to 300 watts and one click is low, next click hi and last click is off. It looks about 50% dimmer on the low which works out perfect by using a 60 watt bulb in a 32 oz. I took a picture of it on my "moon rock" lamp and so far it seems to keep the flow nice and even. I bought mine on ebay. Scott My lamp is too hot!

<div>I just got a 14.5 lava lamp. The first time I plugged it in and used it, it flowed perfectly.</div>
<div>Every time since then, it warms up, then makes the domed glob like in the "too hot" illustration.</div>
<div>I'm using the 25 watt bulb supplied with the lamp. I even tried using a 15 watt, but that wasn't enough to do anything.</div>
<div>What's a solution for it constantly being "too hot' except for turning it off?</div>
