<p>I have purchased a 32oz globe from Kirk filled with large holographic glitter. This vessel has become one of my favorite motion lamps. Runs excellent and puts on a dazzling light show for being a smaller vessel with large cut glitter, I would probably pass out if I saw the grande of his in person. <img src="http://www.bkserv.net/images/Grin.gif"/> I would recommend a fix by him, I hear Loren is also very good at it too but I have not experienced his build.</p>

<p>Reach out to Loren or Kirk about a glitter refill. Loren was the first on the site to master glitters and Kirk has a different offering than Loren. Gem Lites in general are great lamps to own and have silly resale values. I sold my Gem Lite and was able to buy a Colossus and a nice meal with the proceeds. The one thing that may hold down value is that it is destined to be refilled. Some may not see much of a big deal, but when I see a lamp isn't factory sealed by Lava Lite/Lava Simplex…</p>

<p>Yes, you would never want to risk damaging a beauty such as this Gemlite. In general, these lamps are all very rare and, in some cases, real examples have never even been seen! Such is the case with the gold base / gold glitter smaller Gemlite. I've seen them Gems on ebay occasionally but only like one per year or so. I would fix this baby up and enjoy it FOREVER!!</p>

<p>These are usually up and running within a half hour. The original liquid has Freon in it, and who knows what else.</p>
<p>We need some input from Kirk here. He seems to know the skinny on this glitter business.</p>
<p>Your lamp has great potential! It just needs some TLC.</p>

<p>Something should have at least started to move by now. You may have a dead lamp on your hands. I've been looking around and it seems that no one really knows exactly what goes into those lamps so if you find someone who knows how to restore one, I would go with him. Then you will be the proud owner of a beautiful, rare and valuable Gemlite!</p>

<p>It has a 15 watt bulb in it so it should be good, and I've had it running for a few hours and I haven't noticed any changes.</p>

<p>What a great score! That's an awesome lamp John. I completely agree with Snicks--if you want the lamp back in original pristine working order then bow to the man with the know how. Since it has been opened, who knows what the last owner added to the lamp? Or did he even know what he was doing? I'm curious--did you run the lamp yet? If so, what happened?</p>

<p>I also wanted to mention that the bulb for this lamp should not exceed 15 watts. Anything higher will melt/warp the black plastic bottom.</p>
