<p>Even though it seems to be hard to get the lighting just right, here are a few pics of the color changing lamp I'm working on. I used the Goo Kit and put just a little of that white dye in. I wanted colorless or white because the RGB LED is coloring the wax. It looked clear like yours before I used the dye.…</p>

<p>I put just a couple flakes of this white dye in my goo kit wax and it makes it look really solid. Looks like original lava lamp wax. I'm going to try it with this white dye and then some other color one of these days.</p>

<p>Update: The lamp was rewired and placed on a dimmer. Currently I have just the white goo kit in the lamp and its run about 3 times for 5 hours each time. I might end up adding some yellow dye to the wax due to the warm color of the light I don't think it reads as white goo. The lamp is flowing nicely but I'm not a big fan of the transparency of the wax. Any idea on when the wax will turn opaque?…</p>

Ok I'v narrowed down my choices to a 25 watt bulb or 40 watt. Both are very small bulbs that fit an intermedia sized socket. I think I'm going to go with the 40 watt that way I can always dial it down with a dimmer as needed. I'll be posting the build here. Now just to decide on what color of goo.

<p>Wish I could help you on the bulb size, but I haven't rewired one of the mini's yet. And if it has flow issues, I'd replace the lava and liquid.</p>
<p>In fact, I like finding these Crestworth coppers on eBay that are in need of refurbishing (read cheap). I think the strand glitter looks great in them.…</p>

<p>Damn it, Brian <img src="http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad93/ucsycybersmiley/102.gif"></img> !!! Have seen it , too!!! Would have bought it in the evening that day, but then it was sold - aaaarrrgghhh !!!</p>
<p>No, serious, this is a wonderful lamp and fortunately i own one already... </p>
<p>It looks like the previous owner refilled it with water, this is why there is some wax stuck to the top of the lamp and the flow doesn't work anymore. Maybe you should try to keep the mathmos/crestworth wax?</p>
<p>Anyway, enjoy your lamp…</p>
