<p>If it's any help, I haven't quite found a fix for this just yet. But I have noticed that when placing my two clearview lamps in extreme close proximity to another regular working lava lamp the ambient heat of the three seem to heat the clearview lamps enough that they work appropriately. It makes me think that the issue with the clearviews is heat dissipation vs the amount of heat input by the bulb. A remedy would be a higher watt reflective bulb. I haven't found one just yet.

It makes me think that the issue with the clearviews is heat dissipation vs the amount of heat input by the bulb. A remedy would be a higher watt reflective bulb. I haven't found one just yet. I feel a 40w reflective bulb would be the best. 40w non reflective doesn't seem to help much as a lot of the light is lost out of the back of the bulb. If anyone knows where to get 40w reflective bulbs I'd be glad to hear about it.</p> i also have a 17" Clearview…tag:oozinggoo.ning.com,2016-04-10:1566398:Comment:6159052016-04-10T12:06:30.913ZTOOTIEhttps://oozinggoo.ning.com/profile/yolandajordan

<p>Update: I've put the orange globe in the base of the 50th anniversary lamp and it's flowing <a href="http://i.imgur.com/OqL8iiv.jpg" target="_blank">beautifully</a>. Seems like a heat issue with the other bases. Anyone know of a reliable source to get some 40w reflective bulbs?</p>

<p>Okay so here is the situation now.</p>
<p></p>
<p>2 Clearview Lamps. One on the left side is orange with teal base. Right side is green with silver base. Both are having flow issues as if they aren't getting warm enough. Both have coil contact. Orange seems stuck to the glass at the bottom . I put a 40w non reflective bulb in the green lamp and it began to rise and would lazily glob a lump of wax halfway up and then it would promptly fall back down. As a test I swapped the globes to see if…</p>

I put a 40w non reflective bulb in the green lamp and it began to rise and would lazily glob a lump of wax halfway up and then it would promptly fall back down. As a test I swapped the globes to see if it would help the orange lamp and lo and behold it did the same thing even though it's stuck at the bottom. <a href="http://i.imgur.com/VgGT6rI.jpg" target="_blank">See Here</a></p>

<p>It seems to me the 25w reflective bulb isn't powerful enough to heat the lamp and the 40w non reflective bulb is better but just barely not warm enough. I would imagine a 40w reflective bulb would do the trick. I can't seem to find any on Amazon, does anyone have an further input on what they think the issue might be? I'm no lamp expert but these are just my findings.</p> Funny story.

<p>Funny story. I bought 1 clearview, submitted a return, got the one you see in the images, then it didn't work either and submitted another return request and got the 50 anniversary one you see here too... I was never asked to return any of the previous lamps so I essentially got to keep them.... So I don't think I can issue another return on this guy =P. I'll try a new bulb and see if the extra heat tries to pry it from the glass. Thanks for your help! :)</p>

<p>Unfortunately, once it is stuck to the glass, it is essentially not going to be able to be fixed. I have had one lamp un-stick itself, but I did nothing to help it and I honestly have no idea why it did that. I would honestly just return it and get a whole new lamp, if you are able. There are methods where you can dump everything out of the globe, clean off the wax on the inside with powerful cleaning agents, and then put everything back into the lamp. This does not always work, however, and…</p>

There are methods where you can dump everything out of the globe, clean off the wax on the inside with powerful cleaning agents, and then put everything back into the lamp.

<p>You know, it does seem that it's stuck to the glass. How do you fix that? Just let it cool and swirl it?</p>
