Crystal Salt Lamp Frequently Asked Questions
Do Salt Lamps reduce in size or lose their ionizing effect over time?
No, as long as you do not place them in water, over time our Salt lamps will not reduce in size or lose their ionizing effect.
What size must a Salt Lamp be to give the best results?
For a room size of 64 square feet, a lamp of about 5-7lbs, for 100 square feet 8-9lbs, 144 square feet a lamp of about 10-12lbs, for 225 square feet 14-20lbs to get the optimum result. You can use several small lamps or tea lights instead as long as they amount to the same respective weight.
What is there to consider?
The Lamps are designed for inside use. Keep them away from water. In case a lamp has become wet by accident or has moisture build up simply leave it on for a while-the heat will be enough to dry up the lamp.
Should I keep my Salt Lamp on all the time?
To get the best effect, keeping the lamp on as long as possible is recommended. Leaving any electrical unit unattended is not advised.
Does the electric bill go up if the lamps stay on all the time?
The Lamps come with a 15 watt bulb and from my experience with them, I have not noticed the electric bill go up, even with several of them staying lit all the time.
Is there a difference between quality of salt lamps and why do prices vary?
Absolutely! Not all crystal salt lamps are created equal. There are different grades of salt crystal on the market. Our sorting plant daily processes several tons of salt, of which only about 10% are shipped to us as top quality lights.
The Cheaper priced lamps you will find are the lamps we do not and will not bring in. Quality lamps in the long run cost less. Each shipment is subject to in-depth quality control, measured by independent laboratories and approved with test and batch numbers.
Remember there are different qualities of salt products, you can rest assured we have taken all of the necessary steps to bring you the best one. That's a promise.

I have tasted salt on my lips by having the salt lamp in my house, is this normal?
I actually love it and feel like it has helped me lose weight and have much more energy. We have had a few people tell us that when they have a humidifier or water fountain in their homes next to the salt lamp, they can taste the salt.
I was wondering if you have any studies that detail the quantity of negative ions the lamps produce depending on the size and light.
Yes, all of our lamps from the Himalayas get tested. Every lamp emits negative ions. Depending on the size, how each lamp heats, produces a different amount of negative ions. Each lamp heats differently and thus producing different results. We recommend larger lamps or several lamps for larger spaces.
I've received a gift of your beautiful Salt lamp and am wondering why it has to be lit to emit negative ions.
Whether found in the Himalayas or elsewhere, they are not lit in their natural surroundings and they are said to have the same great health effects.
Also, will they work as well with a 4 watt bulb or with the newer energy efficient bulbs currently available? I ask both these questions because I have a concern around energy use as it applies to the earth's dwindling resources.
Our Lamps have been tested lit and unlit by two separate testing devices. Lit and unlit they produce negative ions. When lit, the negative ion count and energy has shown to be much higher.
The emission of ionization is primarily caused by the alternating actions of the salt's ability to first absorb water, and then evaporate it. To explain this more precisely, the heated salt crystal attracts the water molecules from the ambient air to its surface. The salt goes into a solution as it mixes with the water molecules. Sodium, as the positively charged ion, and chloride, as a negatively charged ion, becomes neutral and are emitted back into the environment.
Yes, using a lower wattage bulb is fine and recommended for sleeping with the lamp at night. Energy efficient bulbs can be used if the correct size is available.
Is it safe to have the lamp on all night while I sleep on the night stand? This is my first salt lamp.
We do recommend leaving the lamp on as long as possible. Just like any electrical unit, leaving it unattended is not advisable.
