by WBM

Product Description

Simple and sophisticated at the same time, this himalayan salt crystal basket lamp will rev up your spirit with its stunning beauty and fiery glow. It will produce the image of an ignited fire place and its orange hues infuse a natural calm bringing the mind and body to a gradual sense of tranquility and well being. But wait this is not the only reason to have a salt crystal lamp. This lamp is scientifically proven to work like an air purifier and is often called : nature's air purifier. When the lamp is lit, it emits negative ions that fight against positively charged particles that cause us to feel stuffy and sluggish. (Allergens ; smoke; dander; pollens and other air pollutants) it clears the air and naturally dilutes odors so that we can breathe easier. People with asthma often find it helpful in reducing their symptoms and many medical practitioners recommend using these lamps to help relieve depression and fatigue. This lamp is made of salt crystals, from deep within the himalayan mountains, home to the world's purest and most colorful salt. The lamp is simply sophisticated. It is made of wire intertwined to form a basket and a light bulb sits in the midst of natural salt crystal chunks. It is almost maintenance free and is very easy to clean. Just empty the basket and wipe each salt crystal chunk with a damp sponge then dry off with a paper towel. You can change the color of the bulb to give a different hue to the lighting area. You can keep the lamp lit for as long as you like and the longer you keep it on, the better the emission of negative ions. Place this lamp in your child's room and watch him fall asleep with gentle ease or put it next to your computer and feel your stress dissipate as the negative ions counteract the electromagnetic fields bouncing off the computer. You can put it in your tv room, or your office. It really doesn't matter which room you choose, it is totally up to you where you want to place this unique gift of nature.

Length:: 5:57 Mins


UDPATE on January 28th, 2012: Please make sure you get the correct replacement bulbs. I had a scare when it was brought to my attention that the lamp did not take 25watts, but 15. You can use 15 watts, but the lamp does take 25 watt candelabra bulbs, this is according to the manufacturer tag that is on the basket lamp cord. Please see the photo gallery as I took a picture of the tag on the basket lamp. Thank you!

I wanted to give you a video review of this salt rock lamp from when I removed it from the box and opened it. This lamp along with the other salt rock lamps is so beautiful! I hope this video will show setting up the lamp and how salt rock lamps differ due to the cut of the salt rock (s).

This review is from: WBM 8-Inch Wide and 7-Inch Tall Round Basket Lamp filled with Himalayan Natural Crystal Salt Chunks (Tools & Home Improvement)

This lamp was one of my husband's birthday gifts. I was searching for something, well---way out there. A funky, novelty gift---something he had never seen before.

I wasn't, however, prepared for the high quality of this lamp. It blew us both away! This is NOT a small lamp; it is heavy, well constructed, and it has presence. It would not be missed, in any room. Once we arranged the salt crystals to our liking, and flipped on the switch, we both simultaneously let out a BIG, 'ahhhhhhhh!' We would never have believed that such a small light bulb, would illuminate every crystal, to the point of appearing like a basket of fire. It actually looked inviting, like if we held our hands over it, we could warm them. And, the glow that filled the room was beautiful---not to mention complementary to every complexion. The crystals remained just slightly warm, even when the lamp was on for several hours.

One of the things we immediately noticed, as the lamp warmed, was that we actually could smell the salt and the effects of the negative ions. According to the packaging, "A scientific study has shown that the lighted salt lamp increases the negative ion count up to 600%." I believe it, when it was overtly noticeable.

So, it seems this 'novelty' gift has unexpectedly earned the status of a special treasure, beautifying our living room, and perhaps providing health benefits, as well. My hubby swears that he has already noticed a difference with his allergies, and the general freshness of the room.

The basket is easy to set up, but will shed some salt in the process, so it's a good idea to work on a surface that is easily cleaned. It is recommended to be placed on some type of place-mat. I would also be very careful if you have small children, or pets. They may be attracted to these crystals---they ARE salt, and DO taste like salt, so they may want to put them in their mouth. It is also very heavy; a child could pull it off a table on themselves.

If you're looking for a holiday gift, I couldn't recommend this lamp more highly. The history, alone, will wow most people. We're looking at pink salt crystals that have been harvested, from the Himalayan mountains, from a 250 million year old natural salt deposit. Then the crystals are sent to local artisans to craft the lamps. I find that fascinating!

If you are remotely interested---this is a must have. Treat yourself, a friend, or loved one. I can almost guarantee there will be NO disappointment.

This is amazing. I love it. It looks so pretty at night and is very relaxing.
Makes a great night light and it has helped my allergies. I am usually sick by now at this time of
year with bronchitis or upper respiratory infections, but so far I am healthy. I think it is because
this really does what it says.
