"I agree. That's why most people photograph right after turning the lamp off I'd just change the socket from the E14 and use the smaller heater My lunar uses a heating element as wellhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UzzjpYEtEE"

Ways to make a lava lamp less light?

I know it seems counterintuitive, but I have a lamp with white wax and clear fluid that I would like to light from the back with RGB LED lights instead. The lightbulb inside is pretty bright, but I need it to warm the globe to make the lava flow. If I were to add the RGB lighting behind it, the existing light coming from the lamp would cancel out the coloured lighting. Is there any way to make my existing bulb dimmer while still having it function properly as a warmer?See More
