Lava Lamp Effect Idea #1927

I was watching a youtube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4QELMzOpiA and spotted an effect reminded me of a Lava Lamp.

At 21:06 is the effect.

Could this be tweaked, say the white in that effect was white wax that moves slowly down with oddments moving up, small ones drop down and a large wax bit moves up. When wax is at the bottom make the white leds glimmer to give effect of the wax moving around at the bottom.

Using the 3 colour selections, 1 colour could change wax colour, 2nd one water and 3rd lava lamps bulb.

Just an idea :)

Hi! The effect in the video looks like a standard Rainbow effect, which you can get in WLED by using the Palette effect with the Rainbow color palette. For an effect that look more lava lamp like, the Noise effects with really slow brightness and appropiate palette may also be nice.

That said, a dedicated, smooth, slow lava lamp effect would be great to have and I will think about how it could be implemented!
