A large one is always going to take a fair bit of energy? It needs the heat from the bulb to heat the lava/make it work.

Try these people. I bought a few as presents and they look good. Bought a candle one works well.

Bit pricey though…

You need the high wattage for the heat that melts the wax. The taller the lamp the higher the wattage required for it to work.

I guess is possible that the most modern lamps use a different wax than before but it doesn't immediately resemble a huge industry awash with innovation capital.

But it's not lost heat as the excess emits into the room etc.

Yeah. If you have a working one and are only trying to get the energy consumption down, I wouldnt bother! Just use the one you have.
