Ha, I didn’t notice the watermark until you mentioned it. Good catch.
Well, let’s see. P=(V^2)/R so if you want around 25W of power at 120V, replacing the socket with about a 500 ohm resistance should do it. It would also last a lot longer. About 140 ohm for the 100W. Be sure to use power resistors. Electronic ones are rated for, at best, 1 W total heat dissipation. Put it in front of a regular light and Bob’s your uncle. Lava lamps never were much for illumination anyway so it might even be easier to see.
Um, so when did Chekov work with Cybermen? Wearing a suit made out of U-Haul furniture packing no less.
I always wanted the Edmund Scientific “poor man’s” version of it. Unfortunately, just as I was getting to the point where I had a Real Job and could afford to buy useless toys, Edmund’s got bought out and discontinued their lighting stuff. Grumble.
