Hello,

Sorry, but the light in the base of a lava lamp is an incandesent light. It will not give off enough usable light to grow a healthy seedling. If you were to go purchase a compact fluorescent light and screw it into the base it would work much better.

A fluoro will give off a lot more lumens.

Hope this helps.

Peace
