Hello everyone, new lava lamp owner here with a few questions
I've had my lamp for a few weeks and I love it, but I have a few questions about it, some curious things happened.
My lamp functions with a 20W bulb, and it works properly for a while, then, after about 3 hours. it heats up too much and all the wax floats up to the surface. Also, there are bubbles inside the wax that I just can't get rid of no matter what.
This are not necessarily the weird things that happened.
My mom knocked my lamp by accident, and the original bulb broke, so I had to replace it with a 25W one, as I couldn't find a 20W, and weirdly enough, now the wax circulates a lot longer, I could let it turned on for hours and hours on end without the wax all heating up and floating to the surface. But now, instead of being goopy and having a "one up, one down" bubble flow, it forms many smaller bubbles that flow pretty rapidly, full of air/water pockets that sometimes merge creating a giant globe of wax and water inside of it.
Should I be concerned? Is it normal? Any advice? Thank you!
