Description: Exclusively available through Hughes Wave Motion Machines, this stunning Teal toned rain lamp oil fluoresces a bright sky blue under a UV light! It's is sure to look stunning in a darkened room. This is the exact original oil needed for your vintage 70's rain lamp to produce perfect individual droplets. I have all basic colors as well as these black light reactive variants with more colors and UV variants to come soon. Super cool! The latest black light oil is Clear Electric Blue and will be added soon or you can email me directly for an invoice. It is normally clear and then electric blue under a strong UV source. For all the UV variants, I recommend a 60-100W UV LED Flood Panel which can be found on eBay for less than $35. The colored oil will be a transparent tint when in drop form and not deeply saturated like it is in the bottle. NOTE: Beware of sellers trying to rip you off with thin, runny, splashing, drug store baby oil listed as Drakeol 35! I recently purchased oil from two other โunnamedโ sellers on eBay and tested the oil with a device that measures viscosity and density and lo and behold, they are selling plain old drug store mineral oil. This oil is not meant for your rain lamp and doesnโt make droplets but rather runs down the strings and splashes because it is so thin. Read below, check my feedback on this oil and buy with confidence that you are putting the original in your beloved vintage rain lamp! This oil is specifically produced for use in all sizes of vintage rain drip lamps from the 60's and 70's. We can also offer this oil in RED, BLUE, PURPLE, YELLOW, BLACK, ORANGE, CORAL, or GREEN at no additional cost! It is the buyer's responsibility to refer to the instruction manual for their specific machine to determine the amount of oil required. This amount is a general figure for MOST lamps. Auction is for OIL ONLY. No lamp included. Packaging may vary. So there is no confusion- this may ship in recycled spring water bottles, Gatorade bottles, or one gallon jugs depending on what is available or the size of the order. No need for fancy packaging when you know what you have is the BEST. :) The instructions to add the oil are quite simple: 1. Place plastic sheeting under your work area and cover it with newspaper. Keep paper towels handy in case of spills and drips.2. Turn on the rain lamp.3. Use a paper towel to gently wipe oil from the fishing strands where you will be working. Locate the holes in the bottom pan of the cage under the foliage and statue. There is not a specific oil fill hole. The oil will find its way through the same holes that collects oil drips from the fishing line strands. The collection basin is under the cage where the oil collects and is pumped to the top of the lamp.4. Slowly pour the first pint of oil into the bottom of the cage under the foliage.5. Wait five minutes for the rain effect to start and listen for a change in the sound of the pump.6. Add another half pint of oil if the rain has not started or there is no change in the sound of the pump.7. Wait five minutes and repeat pouring a half pint of oil at a time until the rain looks normal and the pump sounds somewhat muted.8. Expect to pour at least one pint of oil but no more than three pints. Stop adding oil when the raining effect looks normal. Do not use too much oil, because it can overwhelm the pump.NOTE:The lamp needs to be on a level surface. If you add too much oil, you will saturate the electrical mechanism and the pump will not function properly so that the oil never reaches the top. If this occurs, remove some of the oil by removing the three nuts that bolt the metal base tray down at the bottom and remove some oil. Only the impeller of the pump should be submerged in the oil.
