This clean, cylinder-shaped salt lamp spreads a warm, diffused light: the glow filtering through the lit salt crystal is amber and soft, creating a calm atmosphere within moments in a living room, a study corner or a bedroom. A simple form that suits many kinds of space.
About Himalayan salt crystal
The body is made of natural Himalayan salt crystal, which is not dyed; its shade can range from pale pink to deeper amber, and small irregularities on the surface are natural given the structure of the salt. The lamp sits on a stable wooden base, so it stands securely on a shelf or table.
Light and mood
Switched on, the lamp gives a warm, harmonious light, far cosier than cold, directed lighting. Lovers of salt lamps have long linked this soft glow to a mood of rest and quiet, and like to place it where the eye can settle in the evening hours. It is also a favourite in feng shui as a warm point of light.
Technical details
The lamp stands on a wooden base with a two-pin plug bearing the CE mark; the fitting is E14 for a 220-volt supply, and the package includes a warm-light LED bulb. Salt is hygroscopic, so it is worth sticking felt pads under the base and keeping the lamp in a dry place. It measures about 10 × 10 × 18 cm.
Care
A soft, dry cloth is enough for cleaning; avoid wiping it with anything damp. Since every body is shaped from a natural salt block, the colour, form and shade of light vary slightly from piece to piece – which is what makes each one unique.
