I received what I believe is an original Century Model from the 60's for Valentines Day 2010. My profile photo show the lamp the first night I lit it.
The bulb did not work when I got it so I went to Ace to buy a new bulb. I came home plugged the lamp in and it worked beautifully for about 4 or 5 times. Now the water is cloudy and you cannot see the movement of the wax and it's all blobby and bubbly.
Is my lamp ruined? I am SO bummed...I've wanted and waited for a REAL lava lamp forever! While I knew NOTHING about LAVA lamps, I've now found all of the do's and don'ts on-line. The only don't I've done is used a bulb that got too hot. Can anyone help me?
I went on-line to see what a 30 R 20 bulb is and found that Ace Sold me the wrong bulb - a 45W bulb. Is this the cause of damage to my lamp? I cannot find the correct bulb. I found a 30W reflector bulb yesterday but when installed it was too tall.
