Furthermore, how many watts does a lava lamp use?
The bulb is normally 25 to 40 watts. Generally, it will take 45–60 minutes for the wax to warm up enough to form freely rising blobs, when operating the lamp at standard room temperature. It may take as long as 2 to 3 hours if the room is below standard room temperature.
Accordingly, do you need a special bulb for a lava lamp?
Replacement Bulbs LAVA® lamps do not require special bulbs, but each lamp does require a bulb specific to its design.
While the lamp will still “warm” up, it definitely will not get hot enough to make the lava in the lamp flow. While a bulb will just radiate heat from all around, an LED bulb will have cooling fins and materials that will channel and manage heat away from the LED.
