<p>Using a reflector or even the halogen bulbs that mathmos sell with the fludium would probably work a lot better. - I have used a 30w bulb on my yellow fludium and it didn't really get flowing.<br></br><br></br>My advice would be to use a halogen bulb (the one from mathmos) and then run it on a dimmer - that should get it flowing nicely.</p>

<p>I've got it on right now. It does 'spike' as normal but eventually after about 3/4 hours in total the main bulk of the lava stays at the bottom with only the occasional excursion of a little bit of lava flowing. Very disappointing. I am using the standard golf ball 40 watt so perhaps I should try the 40w reflector as you suggest.</p>

I doubt that the dislocated coil causes the wax to die. My suggestion would be that it is an early model which just needs mote heat. I have an early orange fluidium and it needs a 40w reflector bulb. With a standart 40w it just rises but doesnt break. Any pics? What does it do?

<p>Sadly, although I have managed to re-locate the coil nicely, the lava lamp doesn't flow very well or, at all. Have I 'killed' the wax by running the lamp with the displaced coil and perhaps allowing the wax to overheat but without actually flowing? This will be a pity as this is a fairly rare Opal white wax for the white fluidium.</p>
