I have a large lava lamp someone gave me for Xmas some years ago. It’s 27"/68.6cm tall. The problem is, it needs a 100W floodlight bulb to work (normal 100W bulbs don’t work) and I haven’t been able to find decent 100W floodlight bulbs for years. I’d like to use the lamp again, but honestly one weird dude with a huge lava lamp shouldn’t be holding up progress.
Also, I’m not sure if floodlight bulbs would be included in this, since those seem like they would fall under specialty bulbs, not normal household bulbs.
Bummer, you might be out of luck then. I’d stock up if you can. Out of curiosity I looked some of those up on amazon and every page said they won’t ship them to my location, so I suspect they might be included in the ban. Either that or it has to do with my state which has a similar restriction.
I had to look up the bulbs I bought. Three pack of 50w Halogen bulb that’s most likely 550 lumens. Not the normal bulbs for it, but I rebuilt it to be clear with transparent lava. Why it’s crazy bright, too.
But my lava lamp!
Lava lamp bulbs are typically less than 310 lumens, so you’re, like, good, dude. Wow.
Sick

Mine runs a 40w bulb that is around 400-450 lumens, I believe. The thing is bright with the dimmer at 100%.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001MWSVN8 Is the lava lamp I bought just for the base & glass.
https://www.amazon.com/Anyray-A1878Y-3-Bulbs-MR-16-Halogen/dp/B00NX9J3EO Are the bulbs. Amazon… rolls eyes all the reviews are talking about overalls & a box of 5 says 5500 lumens. Such a great site…
They stopped using the super toxic chemicals in them, so the bulb is the only thing I can think of that’s blocking you. Cali I’m guessing?

Yep, Cali. Cool looking lamp!
