Quoted from Dent00:

I purchased a few of these lava lamps from Home Depot. One had rotating glitter with a color changing effect (appears to be an LED effect). The second was a red liquid with orange wax. The 120 Volt 25 Watt bulb on the wax unit burned out instantly, when I turned it on. I purchased a new bulb and it worked fine, for a while. After being left on continuously for several days, that new bulb also burned out. I got a box of 6 new bulbs and replaced it again. I guess you cannot leave these on for an extended period or the bulb will not last. The body of the glass globe unit gets pretty warm after it is left on for an extended period of time. The rotating glitter lamp seems to work fine, but it is not really a lava lamp, as it is defined in this thread.

I have a Metallica glitter lamp, that i obviously had to have. Ill get a better pic when off vacation.

Quoted from brenna98:

Ok, who has put them on top of games.
How did you secure them so they have stability if/when the game gets nudged?

I asked for ideas on Facebook and I think the winner is a suspended shelf attached from the floor joists. This eliminates having them on the games at all.

That is just a bad idea.
