  We just bought a lavalamp. An oldschool-looking one, like at the op’s picture.It’s a great investment.
  As one of the main points, you have a measurable answer on a question “is this movie interesting?”: the lamp stands near the tv, so if you fing yourself watching the lamp, not the movie, tou know the answer.
  The ultimate “better than Twilight” indicator!

  The best lairs are full of lava. This one has that and a much lower risk of eruption.

  A chande-lava-lier! Maybe a cande-lava lamp?

    Both are fun to say :D

    (But the first one makes more sense imo)

  If those are regular old school incandescent bulbs connected to six lava lamps, and that light fixture is connected to a dimmer switch you may want to rethink that. You may want to check what the wattage for your dimmer is and if you don’t know I would recommend staying at or below 300 Watts total (more as a personal rule of thumb).

    Could certainly be different here because chandelier, but my full size lava lamp uses a little 25w appliance bulb, so six of them shouldn’t be more than 150w total.

      The real question is are they series or parallel.

      Wait, seriously? I figured they used a much more power hungry bulb! I’ve wanted to get one for a while but I’m always so concerned about energy efficiency I’ve held off buying one because I figured it was like 150W

  Imagine how embarrassed people would be at your funeral for getting crushed by a Lavalampelier

    You shouldn’t put lava lamps in your hole, probably.

      A bottle, paraffin wax, water and a lightbulb. Technically Connections has a good guide. youtu.be/16gB2BDXwTo

  I love this!

  • yournamehere@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    me too but it looks like a never ending horror. will the bottles fall when you have a party and that one drunk fuck thinks its cool to shake it a little or will it just ruin the oil/wax mix? will i sell my first born to pay for the power bill? does this pollock-esk mix of colors do the idea of a lava lamp justice? and so on…

      Lava lamps aren’t significantly more expensive to operate than a standard bulb. Depending on the size of the lamp; 25w to 100w bulbs are used. Normally halogen or some other hot running bulb.

      From experience, shaking the bottle when hot will make the wax bits smaller (can burn hands), but they will reconstitute over time. Shaking while cold is the same but you don’t get as many pieces and you don’t burn your hands.

      Everything else is a taste issue.
