Incandesent round mini-bulb designed specifically to fit into lava lamp with appropriate wattage to heat the volume of the lamp to a temperature that melts the wax compound without overheating the liquid volume. Very precise so use only the manufacturer's recommended bulb.

Well there is a metal springy at the bottom of your lava lamp, It helps heat the lava (wax) in the bottle.
It is a double ended halogen bulb and I do not know how to get to it to release it from the lamp.
Yes. As long as the voltage is designed for the lamp and the socket and fixture can handle the heat (from the rated power in watts), you can. You will probably find that the socket or connector for this lamp is different than the one intended.
Heat, plain and simple. The average lamp life expectancy is 2000 hours before they start acting up.Why? Because the lamp itself has a quartz envelope and as it heats up, it changes shape (usually at the bottom of the bulb) which lowers the internal lamp pressure causing it to draw more power to keep it lit, which in turn, generates more heat, etc. It's just the `circle of life'.
It depends on the size of the lava lamp

the bulb is usually 30 or 40 watts
The constant variable of a lava lamp is the heat source, typically a light bulb, that warms the wax and causes it to rise and fall in the lamp.
Signs of a faulty lava lamp may include the lava not flowing properly, cloudy liquid, or the lamp not heating up sufficiently. Additionally, if the lava lamp is making strange noises or has a burnt-out bulb, it may indicate a problem.
A lava lamp does not produce energy; it uses a combination of heat from the lamp bulb to warm the wax and density differences to create the mesmerizing lava lamp effect.
The movement of a lava lamp is called lava lamp flow, where the waxy substance inside the lamp rises, falls, and undulates due to the heat from the light bulb at the base of the lamp. This creates a mesmerizing, slow-moving, and fluid-like motion.
The blob in a lava lamp is typically made of a waxy substance like paraffin wax or a similar compound. This blob is heated by the lamp's light bulb, causing it to rise and fall in a mesmerizing, lava lamp-like motion.
My Lava Lamp said to use an A 15 aplliance bulb. I went to Walmart and they didn't have them so I thought the A 19 replaced it. Worng. The A 19 does not fit. My lava lamp had a sticker iside of it saying what type of bulb to use, but, of course, I bought the wrong one. The A 19 is too tall, the bottle didn;t fit.
The light bulb in a lava lamp can typically last for about 2,000 to 3,000 hours of use. The actual lifespan may vary depending on factors like the quality of the bulb and how often the lamp is used. It's recommended to replace the bulb when it burns out to ensure the lamp continues to work properly.
Yes, a lava lamp operates through a process of convection where heat from the lamp's light bulb warms the wax at the bottom causing it to rise, cool, and then fall back down. This continuous cycle creates the iconic lava lamp movement.
A lava lamp contains a special wax mixture, usually made of paraffin wax, mineral oil, and dye. When the lamp is heated by a light bulb at the base, the wax melts and floats around in the liquid, creating the mesmerizing lava-like effect.
