My latest glitter lamp experiment using the much higher specific gravity calcium nitrate. It uses a chunky glitter from an ebay seller called “twisted envy” that seems to have good resistance to the caustic nature of the concentrated solution, and also very good weight consistency. This has allowed it to be balanced to near neutral density of the glitter in the liquid, which means it will work well on a 3W LED GU10 lamp.
I’m using a standard 30W tungsten lamp in this video just to see the much faster motion, but the LED lamps give a better visual effect.
The specific gravity of the liquid is around 1.37
