If those are regular old school incandescent bulbs connected to six lava lamps, and that light fixture is connected to a dimmer switch you may want to rethink that. You may want to check what the wattage for your dimmer is and if you don’t know I would recommend staying at or below 300 Watts total (more as a personal rule of thumb).
Could certainly be different here because chandelier, but my full size lava lamp uses a little 25w appliance bulb, so six of them shouldn’t be more than 150w total.
Wait, seriously? I figured they used a much more power hungry bulb! I’ve wanted to get one for a while but I’m always so concerned about energy efficiency I’ve held off buying one because I figured it was like 150W
They are probably serial so the resistance would be distributed between the 6 loads and thus the heat produced would be similarly dispersed. Hence even 150 W of power would be split between 6 25 W power draws.

The real question is are they series or parallel.
