Salt Lamp Buyer’s Guide
To choose well, focus on build quality and safety first. Look for a sturdy base (neem wood resists moisture), an ETL/UL-listed cord and dimmer, an incandescent or halogen bulb rated for your dimmer, and a size that fits the room. Expect a warm, amber ambience – not a medical device.

Safety & Care
Keep the lamp dry, especially in humid climates. Use a coaster or tray to catch condensation. Don’t leave cloth or paper touching the lamp while on. Replace damaged cords immediately and use only dimmer-compatible bulbs. For cleaning, unplug, let cool, wipe with a barely damp cloth, then dry.
Important: Salt lamps are decorative lights. They are not a substitute for medical treatment, air purifiers, or dehumidifiers.
