adding more wax would just cause the formula to become unballanced. becides, I don't think that is candel wax in there because candel wax has a high temerature melting point. there are different waxes out there that melt at different temps and the stuff in lava lamps is a lower temp wax, you would have to find a type of wax that would have the same density and melting point to do that. I would live with it being darker than to try and add more wax and potentially cause a flow problem. You could find a different globe to sit in it from another lamp.
