<p>Heat shields that came with original Lovegrove Fluidiums.</p>
<p>They sit snug in the lamp base, & not around the bulb</p>

<p>Try a dimmer and foil as well that should work - dim it enough so it generates the required amount of heat but doesn't overheat. You could also try using a lower wattage bulb as the ones supplied with fludiums now are just too powerful and the fludiums overheat quickly.</p>

<p>ok i think i'll give it a try. the fluidium came with a reflector style bulb. i even tried to use the spotlight bulb that is used in the telstar. but there is still to much light shining through. </p>
<p>Maybe it's also this yellow color that is so extremely annoying.</p>

<p>Can you find a reflector style bulb that'll fit the socket? it will project the light more upward other than all around like the standard bulb does, also you can use a dimmer on it and it'll most likely still flow like it did but with less light.</p>

<p>I don't know if the bulb would still be hot enough. it takes a long time until the wax is starting to flow. </p>
