First off, is the sign of an over heated globe? - The bubbles in the wax, all the little dots of wax floating all around?

I'm down to the last four globes the need to be cleared up via the 8 hour run time suggested earlier and I've come across this symptom on at least three of them including two teal globes and a purple.  In this picture the frosted bulb has been turned down on a dimmer already.

Am I going to have to run these globes at a lower light level still eight hours a day for a longer period to get them to clear up?  Or is there another option?

I have had air bubbles before and they do become less over time this is do to the liquid formula. I once had the bubbles so bad and only after a 6 hour run I swapped the clear liquid with another same globe and my problem went away. A overheat problem will have the wax just sitting on the bottom or most of the wax just sitting on the top. Newer LL china 32z globes over heat very fast in just around 4 hours and the wax just sits at the top with a slow drop to the bottom.
