I have a tall lava lamp. The window/tube part with the lava is about 25-30cm and diameter about 15cm.

However, it's old and uses 80W.

I'm trying to find a replacement but the ones on Amazon (Nova and Blob Labs) seem short and narrow. They are about 30-40cm tall top to bottom, so only about 15cm for the "window".

Can anyone recommend larger ones to sit on a desk? Maybe window size of 30-50cm. Ideally 25-30W.

No rocket designs, just a tower/column.

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.

I should have added it's to go on my desk.

A "window" size of 30-50cm would be nice?

Mine is about 20 years old, so old power-hungry bulb.

And unfortunately each lamp is designed with that power in mind.
