Himalayan Crystal Salt Lamp

I have two Himalayan crystal salt lamp decorative items; one at living room next to television another placed at my bedroom. I am using the lamp as a gentle nightlight to create a romantic mood in bedroom. It provides a natural touch if you put the lamp in a child's room, near the computer, or in your office.

 
Himalayan Crystal Salt Lamp with Neem Wood Base Bulb and Dimmer switch
This unique salt lamp is made from natural Himalayan salt crystals hand mined in the Himalayan Mountains. There are six different sizes for you to choose from ranging from 7-inch to 12-inch. Being said that, weight, size, color and shape may slightly vary due to the natural variation in Himalayan Crystal salt.

It comes with 6 ft power cord, 15 watt light bulb, rotary dimmer switch and neem wood base. Once lit the lamp will emit a calming Amber color. The warm amber light from this lamp complements any space. I personally love to brighten my bedroom with this Himalayan crystal salt lamp.

 

Himalayan Crystal Salt Lamp Benefits

The Himalayan Natural Crystal Salt Lamp also works as an air purifier. When salt lamps are warmed by the bulb inside, they release negative ions into the air. Negative ions cause harmful particles in the air to clump together and become heavy, then fall to the ground cleansing the air of these irritating particles.

The lit salt crystal clears the air naturally of allergens like smoke, pet dander, pollens, and other air pollutants. This process is scientifically proven to help purify the air by reducing pollen, mold spores, electromagnetic pollutants and naturally dilute odors so that you can breathe easier. People with asthma often find it helpful in reducing their symptoms. You can keep the lamp lit for as long as you like to maintain this purifying effect.

I personally on the Himalayan crystal salt lamps all day long and only off them for a while for cleaning. This lamp is very easy to clean; just wipe the outside surface with a damp sponge and dry with a paper towel. Because each crystal is natural, dimensions and weight vary.

Himalayan Crystal Salt Lamp Review

As mentioned, the lamp is made from salt crystals from the Himalayan Mountains. Unlit, the crystal's rough-hewn, irregular surface looks pink. When lit with the included 15-watt bulb, it gives a warm amber glow. You can even change the color of the bulb to give a different hue to the lighting area. The following is Himalayan crystal salt lamp review wrote by a real buyer:

"I've been wanting one of these lamps for a long time. I promised myself as soon as the price got within my range, it would be mine. So many people had good things to say about the WBM brand as well, I kept looking at those lamp options. I am SO glad that I bought it.

It arrived today. The box had a tear in the lid. The lamp had a chunk broken off of it as well. (A fairly substantial piece, yet I did not feel it mattered enough to return the lamp. See photos.) The lamp is MUCH heavier than I had expected, so that was a surprise. You would definitely not want to place this where it could be knocked off or tipped over easily, or over a glass shelf. In our case, we have curious cats, so its final place will need to be where the cats cannot rub on it and tip it over or knock it off onto something else.

The base is very sturdy and looks nice. Mine is a medium brown tone and would fit in about any décor. I love the natural look of the lamp. I really look forward to seeing how it looks at night in a dark room. Some of the things in the tiny print in the usage manual include not using it outside, and to always use a place-mat or coaster due to the salt "sweating" and possibly damaging furniture. Right now, mine is on a surface that won't matter, but it is worth mentioning, in case you might have plans to place it on a good end table or bookcase. In my case, this is going to be in my bedroom, and I already have an orange bedspread, so it fits right in. However, I would love this no matter what colors I had in my room.

The height and size varies naturally, so no two lamps will be alike. Mine is approximately 8.25" tall (including the base), and fits well into the bedroom. It seems to be about 4.5" wide. I love all the natural crags and crevaces of the lamp. The backside of mine is flat, but that's okay too.

I am using the original night light (which is replaceable either to change colors or replace a burned out light), and the lamp gives off a very pleasant orange/peach glow. I like just looking at it too, and will probably stare at it a little more in the dark! Ha!

As far as freshening the air with the negative ions - it is too soon to tell, so I'll update my review once I feel we've had time to feel a difference. Our bedroom is not huge (maybe 10x11), so 2-3 weeks should be enough time to feel any breathing differences. Both my daughter and I have asthma and allergies. The cats are in and out of here all day long as well, so anything it can do to help is going to be great. I've read both good and bad about the negative ion thing and asthma, so I have placed it away from where my head will actually be in bed.

Overall, I am very happy with my purchase, and will probably be buying more as the money allows. The look alone is enough to please me, and I do hope the salt lives up to the claims on the air freshening."
