New Lunar, what light bulb to use?

[Rikard Stenberg]

Hello all, I'm new to this forum. I have just bought my third lava lamp - a Mathmos Lunar, I have wanted one of those for many years so I am a happy camper right now :)

It is really cloudy but I hope it will clear up, if not I guess I will have to filter it or exchange the liquid.

But what light bulb to use in these, it is a 75w one right now but it takes quite a while for it to get going...

Cheers from up by the Arctic Circle,

An old bottle with the old Formula, runs with a 75W bulb, but if you take a new Lunar bottle or if you buy one from Mathmos now, you have to use a 100W reflector bulb!

Thanks, 75w it is! And it will probably not clear up, and filtering is not a good idea... Got it!

Seems one can buy new wax, so maybe I will buy three or four "kits" but I will keep it as it is for now.

Thanks again!
