Hi,

Has anyone bought himalayan salt lamps before? I'm considering buying one on ebay from whoscloset who seems to have good ratings. I am not buying one for the health benefit because personally i believe that is complete bs (psuedoscience) but because I like the soft mood lighting.

I have never seen one in real life however and was wondering if anyone headfi members own one and might be nice enough to post a picture of the lamp? And is peach the best color to get? How bright does it get... can I study with it as my only lighting source?

I've never bought one, but I've seen them in stores. The larger ones might be enough to read by, if you're close to it, but I don't think it's enough to be your only light source. They do look cool, though.

A word of warning - these suckers are heavy, a lot heavier than you might think. A large one might weigh 20 lbs. or more.

Guy at the health store got his owners to buy a boat load last year for X-mas. My wife was next door at Hallmark and I went to the healthfood store to look around and this guy was hard selling me laft right and side ways, saying how it was good for my health. Just seemed like he was in a panic to sell some because X-mas was a few days away and the display was full. They look cool in a temporary way. Everyone wants a blackberry and a BMW were we live and I think he should put them in his trunk and take them out in the country and I think he would have found his target customers. They are neat too look at (If you get the right one as no two are alike and they differ greatly) but the raw finish kind of ruined it, its a lamp but it looks and feels like somethng youd never want to touch.

I have a square one about 6x6 inches in size. It has soft orange light that gives a warm glow. I think it react to heat because sometime it feels a little moist, and that depends on temperature and humidity as well. It has a 15 watt bulb and it's bright enough for me to use as a reading light.

I don't believe that there is any health benefit associated with them, but do like the look. Have 2 of them, and as mentioned earlier, they are quite heavy.

 

[johnation33]

can you post pictures of them by any chance? and what is the size of yours?

Hi

I agree with you.

The best part of a Salt Lamp is how beautiful they are to just look at.

One of Mother Nature’s works of art.

The fact that they are made from 250 million year old Salt mined in the Himalayan mountain range and that no two can ever be alike (like humans and snowflakes) was enough to get me into the business as a sideline.

The colors range from light peach to dark peach. We try to keep them in the mid range. They come with a 15 watt bulb so unless you are Abe Lincoln they are not bright enough for reading.

You can replace them with up to a 40 watt bulb, which should make reading easier.

You can read my blog about the “snake oil” “cure all” claims on other Salt Lamp sites by going to Do Salt Lamps Work? Claims for cures ranging from Asthma and other respiratory ailments to allergies and protection from electromagnetic radiation are just a few.

They ARE hygroscopic, drawing moisture from the air. They do produce Negative Ions at close range (not across a 10 foot room as claimed) and are soothing!

The lamps we sell at Crystal Salt Lamps & Tea Lights - Save 50% OFF + FREE SHIPPING, where you can find the pictures you are seeking, are a step above the norm.

Where most sellers have a plain waxed wood base, ours come with a beveled, lacquered and polished Rosewood base, a metal plate on the inner part of the base that the light assembly clips to, making changing the bulb easy and quick.

We offer Free Shipping and discounts for multiple purchases to a single address, so if you have gifts to give, these are the most unique and unusual thing to offer your friends and associates.

I have one with a red bulb in it which glows orange! I've had it for years and love it. But just lately, my cat discovered it was salty, and he's started licking it all off

I saw a display of some in the corner of a shop and I must admit, the air felt nicer around them. It seemed less stuffy and more clean. And I noticed this before I read the sign about what they were.

That's pretty darn cool! I may have to pick one or sixty up...
