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.
