Lava lamp overheating chart

I’ve seen so picture charts with the different flows and if it’s to hot or cold  but the just right and the slightly too warm look the same to me in the pictures so I can never tell if/ when I should turn on my dimmers. What should I be looking for specifically and how much do I dim the lamps because sometimes I will turn the dimmer on and it stops flowing like it got to cold See More

"Hi Cate, are you going to make the shelves or buy ready-made?  If you make them (or have someone make them for you), you could install a trim piece on the front to hide the electrical.  That’s what we are considering too.  "

Also originally I wanted to do floating shelfs but im not sure if it will be strong enough to support the weight of the lamps. the shelf is going to be about 10 ft long im not sure how deep i want it but i definitely plan on getting a grande at some point it wouldnt…See More

"It looks like it just cooled that way.  Try running the lamp for a few hours to allow for proper temperature before turning it off."

Re doing my lamp set up

My current lamp set up isn’t much of a set up as it’s just 3( of six because I don’t have room for the rest)lamps siting in a cluster on my vanity/desk. But I’ve decided to change this because a it will look better and b I would like to be able to display all of my lamps. Also I’m going to document iit because some people showed interest in seeing my lava lamp makeover( also I’m still in lock down and need something to do) I have three spaces in my room that I think would work which I will…
