Hi Tipsy here is Roge response to your question.

Hi Wendy, the reason for not making too narrow an area between the walls inside is because of heat. Sometimes people will use a 150w bulb and that can discolor the panel (hot spot) due to the heat. Even a 100w is high when too narrow a space. Remember when that bulb is on, you cannot even touch it! So my minimum now is 7” from inside to inside. The resin can burn so safety is important.

Now I can make the lamp with smaller rock/chunks and a bit longer to give it that look. I do not want to end up taking lamps back because of being to narrow.

If someone wants to buy a narrower made lamp unwired and they rewire it for a LED low heat, etc. then I will give them a $30 discount off my wiring parts & labor and no 30 day guarantee. So I am open to discussing this further…….

Hi Tiki Zen, I'm of no help when it comes to making these lamps. I'm the Roge for the tikis but Roge makes the lamps. He doesn't share his trade secrets with me. Sorry I can't answer your question. Maybe Roge or tikiskip can help you. Wendy
