      I have a large lava lamp someone gave me for Xmas some years ago. It’s 27"/68.6cm tall. The problem is, it needs a 100W floodlight bulb to work (normal 100W bulbs don’t work) and I haven’t been able to find decent 100W floodlight bulbs for years. I’d like to use the lamp again, but honestly one weird dude with a huge lava lamp shouldn’t be holding up progress.

        Also, I’m not sure if floodlight bulbs would be included in this, since those seem like they would fall under specialty bulbs, not normal household bulbs.

      Mine runs a 40w bulb that is around 400-450 lumens, I believe. The thing is bright with the dimmer at 100%.

        Bummer, you might be out of luck then. I’d stock up if you can. Out of curiosity I looked some of those up on amazon and every page said they won’t ship them to my location, so I suspect they might be included in the ban. Either that or it has to do with my state which has a similar restriction.
