Lava lamp bulbs are typically less than 310 lumens, so you're, like, good, dude. Wow.

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.
