<p>Does anybody remember the Spencer lamps that just twirled making it look like the dinosaur's are moving? They also had the fish ones which were pretty too!! They were making all kinds of those types lamps according to the recent craze. They even had a Spiderman one I think. When I was going through my disco ball/lighting craze I picked up a few of these. Eventually the motors burned out and they only lit and stopped spinning. Do they even still sell them? That might be a nice option…</p>

That might be a nice option for a small child or an elderly person as they are all plastic and take a small wattage bulb. Really simple idea too. A simple printed piece of paper spinning with a light backdrop. God, why couldn't I have invented something like that, lol!! I know I'm late on this reply, but thought it a nice alternative idea to the lava's for ppl that really can't have lava's in their environments (sadly). My neighbor has 5 small boys and said lava's in her home would be a big NO NO!! haaaa. My 15 year old son was throwing a ball around for my 5 dogs and my new lava is happily oozing away, UNTIL......well, let's just say, Mama Duke's had a MELTDOWN.....hey, a meltdown....no pun intended!!! </p> Agreed, kinda hyper, the jell…tag:oozinggoo.ning.com,2014-05-01:1566398:Comment:5299212014-05-01T02:29:57.011ZVOXulhttps://oozinggoo.ning.com/profile/NickM278
<p>Agreed, kinda hyper, the jelly was funny! I am willing to bet you can slightly hear them tap around too. Maybe their ears are a lil rusty since they are elderly but that might creep them out <img src="http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad93/ucsycybersmiley/109.gif"/></p>

<p>I think the aquarium lamps just run a small bulb to illuminate and use magnets to move the fish around, I could be wrong. I agree with Trevor on the Clearview, they don't get toooo hot but still put off some heat. The added viewing space in the lamp could be a perk for them as well :)</p>
<p>Edit: I think the aquarium actually runs LED and the bubbler makes the fish move, not magnets. Tecno fish video of them in action, HAHAHA!…</p>

<p>A!l great ideas! Thank you! Because of her vision problems, I've steered away from the glitter lamps. Don't know how much of the sparkle and movement she would be able to see. But what about those fish aquarium lamps? They strike me as being kind of tacky, but she's from the generation that didn't mind covering their sofas in plastic, so I doubt that would be a big concern for her. Is there a good amount of color, light and movement in those lamps? I assume that they don't require as much…</p>

<p>ebay has great nightlights that are both glitter and lava or try buying her the 10W-15 watt bulb lamps that don't get hot enough to burn or melt something if they tip over. </p>

The old wizards are much more stable, but also get much hotter than the centuries. However, it it's out of reach, it should be a big problem :) the wizards have great flow as well, and are neat cause of the star and moon cutouts in the base.

<p>Actually, that's a pretty good idea. The older wizards look pretty stable, too. Vintage lamps are pretty easy to get on E-bay and Craig's list. If I set it up with a timer, I can place it where it is highly visible, but still inconvenient for her to reach. I really think she would enjoy a lava lamp every bit as much as I do!</p>
