"Hi Laurie in 2021! What I've found over the past few years is that bulbs vary between brands anyway, i.e., a 30W bulb from one company could be hotter than a 30W bulb from another company. And unfortunately, lava lamps are very sensitive to…"

Hi there and welcome to Oozing Goo. I've had trouble with these Mathmos bulbs. One blew after just a handful of runs (copper heritage Astro) the other one fared far worse still, just 20 minutes or less (new Astro metallic). None too impressed although Mathmos did kindly send some replacement bulbs.
