Deep within the foothills of the Himalayan Mountains, the purest salt in the world was formed millions of years ago and is mined to create these beautiful pink salt lamps and salt rocks.
Why do they all look different?
Every salt crystal created is an individual work of art and unique in its own colour, design and shape. Some irregularities and fissures can naturally be present in the salt crystals.
Salt lamps draw moisture from the surrounding atmosphere. Sometimes, in moist or humid conditions the surface of the lamp may be slightly damp to the touch. Lighting it for a few hours will dry it very quickly. Any crystalization occurred due to the moisture can be wiped with a damp cloth.
It is recommended to leave the Himalayan salt lamp lit as much as possible to maintain the constant negative ionizing process and to repel excess moisture around the area.
How do I clean my natural salt lamp?
It is recommended to leave the Himalayan salt lamp lit as much as possible to maintain the constant negative ionizing process and to repel excess moisture around the area.
For cleaning, switch off the lamp and gently wipe the lamp with a damp (not soaking wet) towel or sponge to remove dust. Once cleaned, dry the lamp with a paper towel or turn the lamp on for a while.
How often do I clean it?
It’s best to clean it every month or so to remove the dirt and allergens it has removed from the air to purify it.
Can I put my salt lamp on any surface?
Always place the salt lamp on a waterproof base to avoid damage to the furniture.
Is it dangerous to keep them switched on?
No. Salt lamps are safe to keep on and all the benefits of salt lamps are generated from constant heat from the globe.
Do they meet Australian standards?
Yes. The electrical cord-line switch complies with the minimum safety standards AS/NZS 3127:2005 with AS/NZS 3100:2009 +A1.
Are salt lamps safe for children?
Salt lamps are fantastic night lights for children and have many benefits for kids, just as they do for adults. Simply place salt lamps out of the reach of children.
Can I use different coloured globes?
Yes, light bulbs of different colours can be used with these lamps for colour therapy.
How do I change the globe?
Always unplug the lamp before changing the globe. Make sure the globe is not jot. Gently pull the flex out from the base of the lamp until you can grasp the lamp holder and spring clips. Squeeze the clips together and slide the lamp holder from the lamp base. Screw the globe into the holder and squeeze the clips to insert the lamp holder into the lamp.
Care should be taken when positioning the lamp to make sure that the power cord is trapped under the exit hole and not under the flat base as this could make the lamp unstable.
