Good idea, I'm using a 40w clear bulb just because that's what I use in my other lamp. I'll try a smaller one and see how it goes.

If the big blobs are turning into smaller blobs after running for a while, it might be getting too hot. Make sure that you have the correct wattage light bulb. You might even have to use a lower wattage bulb or put it on a dimmer switch.

It's up and running now. The water's clear and it starts off normally. A few stalacmites and then some big blobs, but then the blobs turn into wee bubbles and that's how it stays. I'm glad I got it going but it's not as attractive as my other lamp which has the traditional big globules. Many thanks for all the advice,<br />
cheers,<br />

I've got it back working by following Bohdans instructions. The goo bubbles are quite small rather than big globules, but the waters clear and I'm very happy with it. Thanks to all who helped.

I've been running this lamp for the last couple of days and I think it's coming back to life. I'm switching it on all evening and off all day and the water is clearing. The goo at the bottom is behaving just as it should. It bubbles away merrily. The vast majority of the wax though is still just floating at the top. It melts and hardens but never sinks. I'm going to keep trying with the old girl, maybe she'll somehow right herself.

Thanks for the quick reply guys - even if it's bad news. I think I'll get a replacement globe and keep the nice original base.<br />
<br />
Thanks again<br />
