    Could certainly be different here because chandelier, but my full size lava lamp uses a little 25w appliance bulb, so six of them shouldn’t be more than 150w total.

      Wait, seriously? I figured they used a much more power hungry bulb! I’ve wanted to get one for a while but I’m always so concerned about energy efficiency I’ve held off buying one because I figured it was like 150W

        They are probably serial so the resistance would be distributed between the 6 loads and thus the heat produced would be similarly dispersed. Hence even 150 W of power would be split between 6 25 W power draws.
