Default Lavalamp

I'm up to the end of Part 2, and my final render does not have the glow through the glass for the 3 internal lights, but it is reflecting off the ground?

The tut video, does. I'm pretty sure I didn't miss anything from part 2. Here is a render to see my problem, compare it to the final render for Part 2 and you'll see what I mean.

That did it, but.............

Now I get the Light_Mid only showing through the glass. So did the video tut' then it looks like something was done and then re-rendered quickly, to get only the Light_Top showing.

Did you use a keybard shortcut or something, I need to get my Light_Top showing the strongest?

PS thanks for the quick replies

err, you just lost me...

if it's about intensity, just select your light, hit "p" to bring up the properties panel and edit the light intensity...
