Hi everybody! I'm really new to this community so my apologies if this is a silly question.
I got a Groovy Lamp from 5 below a couple weeks ago for cheap; the lights inside it are a really nice pink that matches my room's theme, and considering its the first one I've owned I'm a bit sentimental about it. That being said, all of the lamps at the location were totally clouded, and mine was no exception. Don't get me wrong, the lamp is really pretty, but I'd like to see it in its full glory if possible! Is it salvageable?
(unrelated to the clouding, the wax also moves MUCH slower in this one compared to my Lava brand lamp I got from Spencers. Would I need to purchase a different bulb in this case? mostly just makes bubble spheres as you can see below.)

These have an interesting look but unfortunately because of the price have bad quality control in the manufacturing and the liquid is usually cloudy. I have one in orange and these have very skimpy wax with not too much "action". It could be cleared likely by filtering with say a Sawyer filter. Also consider how much of a pain it may be opening / resealing the top etc. especially if it's your first attempt. You may be able to try a 30W which is the next increment over 25 in those spotlights but could be harder to find. Then if the wax movement is overheating with too many bubbles or hanging at top, just get a plug in dimmer to dial it back a bit.
