"Ozone lamps" are UV light sources that use quartz sleeves between the environment and the Mercury plasma that produces the light, and does not have the titanium dioxide coating that absorbs short wave UV and makes lots of visible light (the usual fluorescent light bulb does this). Normal glass will absorb too much of the UV. Ozone in the tropopause is produced by 215nm (or more energetic) UV light, and mercury vapor lamps produce some light at a more energetic 185nm wavelength.

Will a lava lamp work better in hot or cold water?

A lava lamp will work better in hot water because the heat helps the wax inside the lamp melt and flow more easily, creating the lava lamp effect. Cold water may make the wax inside the lamp too thick and slow-moving, resulting in a less pronounced lava lamp effect.
