You will want SelBion bulbs, S11 Bulb Shape with E17 Bulb Base. They provide the right mix of light and heat to the wax.

You will want SelBion bulbs, S11 Bulb Shape with E17 Bulb Base. They provide the right mix of light and heat to the wax.
The replacement lamp was awful! It appeared to have been opened prior to shipping, operated, repackaged and returned already. I was upset that I had not received a brand new lamp fresh from the factory. This lamp had murky liquid and an odd layer of white foam (1/4 inch thick) on the surface of the liquid. I complained about the condition of the replacement lamp and returned it for a refund.
Then I placed another order for the same kind of lamp and that one arrived in near perfect condition. The liquid looked a little bit murky at first, but after the first usage, it cleared up a great deal. After the third use, the liquid looked perfectly clear.
Other than the aggravation and annoyance of receiving and returning the first two defective lamps, my only other disappointment is that the illustration used in the advertisement for this item is not an accurate depiction of how the lamp looks when it is in use. When the lamp is cool, the wax is a dull orangish-yellow color, much like bees wax, and the liquid is a deep, dark purple. When the light is turned on, however, the bluish tones disappear almost entirely. The wax becomes a brilliant sunny yellow and the liquid becomes a deep red color. Another reviewer described it quite accurately as "pomegranate red".
Don't get me wrong - I find the red liquid and bright yellow wax beautiful to look at, and even better when the wax starts to flow. Then the wax globs start out bright yellow as they rise up from the bottom of the lamp, turning quickly to orange and then red as they float to the top of the glass globe. The color transitions are wonderful to watch. But if, like me, you looked forward to seeing the multi-hued purple, red, yellow and orange coloration patterns depicted in the advertisement for this product, you will surely be disappointed.
(UPDATE: Since posting this review, I discovered that the blue tones in the liquid can be seen during operation when the lamp is back lit from an external source of light, such as a lamp or when the lamp is placed near a window on a bright day.)
The first time I used the lamp, it took 3.5 hours to warm up and begin flowing properly. Since then, however, the lamp warms up in 1.5 hours. The lava flow is stunningly hypnotic to watch. The wax breaks up into 2-6 large egg shaped globs that gently ease past each other as they slowly make their way from the base of the globe to the top and back down again. And when all the lights are out, the lamp casts a beautiful red glow throughout the room.
BOTTOM LINE: I LOVE my new Lava Lite 5225! And, yes, I intend to buy others. If the size you want to buy is available in a local store, I would recommend buying it there. (I suspect the transportation by UPS vans may cause some of the cloudiness that so many buyers have reported.) A little bit of cloudiness might disappear after a few uses, as mine did. If you get a defective one, just send it back and get another. They're such fun and definitely worth the aggravation!
(P.S. I would recommend that Amazon.com label their shipping boxes "FRAGIL" and "THIS SIDE UP" to reduce the amount of jostling the Lava Lites must endure during transport.)
(UPDATE 3/25/14: Since posting this review, I purchased two more 52 oz. Lava Lamps - one with yellow wax/purple liquid and one with yellow wax/blue liquid. Both were shipped together in the same box. The lamps were adequately cushioned with heavy paper prior to shipping, but the box was left lying flat on its side on my front porch. As a result, the wax chunks in both lamps were found floating loose in the glass globes and had to be positioned manually before I dared operate the lamps. I was able to accomplish this by laying each globe flat on its side and rolling it slowly until I could see that the wax was not touching the glass. Then I turned the bottle upright and the wax fell into its proper position at the base of the globe.
When they first arrived, both lamps had thin streaks of wax clinging to the inside of the glass globe. Those streaks disappeared after the first few uses.
Unfortunately, the liquid in the yellow/purple lamp was somewhat murky. I plan to try cycling the yellow/purple lamp (8 hours on/8 hours off) for a couple weeks in hope that the liquid will clear up. If it does not, I will probably return that lamp.
The liquid in the yellow/blue lamp arrived in crystal clear condition. The colors are absolutely beautiful - even prettier than those shown in the advertisement. That one is a total delight and most definitely a keeper.)
UPDATE: 3 months later. The flow does take a while, couple of times using the lamp and cooling it completely, to get going really well. But I really liked it then. Connected flow, very soothing and smooth. Unfortunately, after a couple of weeks of daily use, the flow separated into the globs seen in the pictures. So it's not as neat-looking or soothing. Also, a small piece has permanently split off and always floats to the top, preventing proper temperature flow for it to work best. I've followed tips posted here to gently twist the COLD lamp back and forth while keeping it firmly on the table so that the circular motion bumps the hard quarter-sized wax back down and where it can heat up with the rest of the wax. But alas, it doesn't mix back in and as soon as the wax begins flowing again, it floats right back up to the top, covering the surface of the liquid, impeding proper flow. But it's still a nice lamp and the rest of it is working well..

Just goes to show you get what you pay for
Unfortunately, I cannot say that I love THIS particular lamp. The first lamp I purchased came intact (as one would expect in this day and age), however, even after an 8 hours warm up period the wax failed to stand out from the coloured base liquid. The solution is far too cloudy to enjoy the beautiful ebb and flow of the wax. I understand that things like this happen, so I decided to order another one from this manufacturer.
My second lamp came this morning, and the wax was already in dozens of little pieces. I haven't seen this before, and initially thought that this wouldn't be a huge deal. Unfortunately, I was wrong. It's been about 6 hours now, and the wax has fully melted. The little pieces failed to combine with some of the bigger wax blobs, so now there are a few small chunks floating around. This alone wouldn't be a deal breaker, and some people might even like the effect, but once again, the liquid is incredibly murky and the wax hardly stands out.
Reading some of these other reviews, it's clear that Lava Lite is a hit or miss. When these lamps work as designed, they're quite beautiful, and when they don't... well, the results are less than optimal.
That being said, Amazon has the best customer service that I've ever had to deal with, so if anything goes wrong with your lamp you'd be able to return it without much hassle. In my option, this is an incredibly low risk "gamble."
