Question 1

What size Himalayan salt lamp should I buy?

Accepted Answer

A 5 to 11 lb lamp covers a typical bedroom or office (up to 12 by 12 ft). 15 to 30 lb lamps suit living rooms (up to 20 by 20 ft). For commercial spaces and large open rooms, choose 40 lbs or larger. Bigger lamps emit more warm amber light.

Question 2

Do Himalayan salt lamps actually purify the air?

Accepted Answer

Salt lamps emit a warm amber glow that many people find calming. Anecdotal reports describe improved sleep, reduced congestion, and a cozier atmosphere. Scientific consensus on negative ion output is mixed — we sell ours for ambiance, decor, and natural light, not as medical devices.

Question 3

How do I care for my Himalayan salt lamp?

Accepted Answer

Keep it dry — salt is hygroscopic and will sweat in humid climates. Leave the lamp turned on for several hours a day so the gentle heat evaporates absorbed moisture. Wipe the surface with a dry cloth; never submerge in water.

Question 4

What bulb does a Himalayan salt lamp use?

Accepted Answer

Standard lamps ship with a 15W or 25W incandescent E12 (candelabra) bulb that produces the gentle heat needed to keep the salt dry. Replacement cords and bulbs are available on our site.

Question 5

Are your Himalayan salt lamps authentic?

Accepted Answer
