How do you change the bulb in a lava lamp?

Remove the lava lamp by lifting up the glass. It separates from the base because it just sits in it. Unscrew the old bulb and screw another one in. When you remove the bulb you will notice that the bulb and base may not be the size of a standard household bulb. On the inside of the base, or the bottom of the base, there should be information about the type and wattage of the bulb. You need to get the same type of bulb to insure that the bulb base will screw into the socket. The wrong type bulb may not fit in the socket or the bulb may be too large and the top of the lamp will not fit properly on the base. If you get the wrong wattage, the bulb may not be hot enough or to hit to make the bulb function properly.

The chain is connected to a switch mechanism inside the lamp that completes or interrupts the electrical circuit, controlling the flow of electricity to the light bulb.


Difference between a lamp and a bulb?

A lamp refers to the entire lighting fixture that holds the bulb and provides light, while a bulb is the actual light-emitting component that fits inside the lamp and produces light when powered. In other words, the bulb is the source of light, while the lamp is the structure that houses and supports the bulb.


What will happen if you try to complete a circuit by joining the glass of a light bulb?

The glass envelope of a light bulb (which is called an incandescent lamp) is an insulator, and it won't conduct electricity except under the most extreme conditions. Connecting wires to the glass envelope won't complete an electrical circuit.That glass envelope is used to seal the inside of the lamp from outside air, which, if allowed in, would allow the filament to burn up in a second or two. In that light, the glass envelope both electrically insulates the lamp, and also isolates the filament from air (or the oxygen in it) to keep it from burning up.
