Reply to comment by suffaluffapussycat in TIL the floating substance inside of a lava lamp is primarily wax by shyyyyme

I was looking at buying a lava lamp a bit ago and at the time it seemed like the UK lamps were hands down the way to go. I was pretty surprised at the lack of options in the US to be honest.

So since it’s incandescent, could you just get a UK one and change the plug and get a bulb with the right wattage? I don’t think there’s much to the things other than that.

Yes you can. Getting a US voltage bulb of the same wattage is what you need.

Sometimes the bulb base is different from what you find in the US. This could be a problem.
