Common Questions and Answers regarding Himalayan Salt Lamps
Q: Does SALTOPIA sell larger salt lamps?
A: Yes we sure do! We sell lamps as large as 300 pounds!
We do NOT post our larger lamp inventory online for several reasons (40 pounds and up):
1. We would like to make sure you select the size that's appropriate for the room you would like to keep your Himalayan Salt Lamp. The lamp weight will absolutely make a difference in your overall experience.
2. All our lamps are sold by the pound. We offer discounts seasonally but the prices usually start at $3.00 per pound. This does not include shipping fees and unfortunately, we do not ship lamps of this size for free.
Q: Can I buy any size lamp? Does size matter?
A: The weight of your lamp selection is important:
Your lamp weight is the deciding factor as to which room it will be best served in. For example, if your living room is approximately 16x16 square feet - then a 40+ pound lamp should suffice this space. If this room also has high cathedral ceilings, then we would recommend a 2nd lamp or a larger lamp overall.
Q: Where should I put my lamp once it's home or in my space?
A: Where ever you spend the most amount of time!
1. Always place a SALTOPIA Himalayan Salt lamp in the room you spend the most amount of time in.
2. Placement is entirely your choice. If your lamp is heavy, then you may not want to place it on a piece of furniture. SALTOPIA has sold lamps that weigh 338 pounds - that size will definitely need to sit on the floor. A smaller, 25 pound lamps can sit on a bedside table. If a table is an antique and special to you, perhaps find a new location in case the weight of the lamp causes damage to older/softer wood.
Q: Do I leave the lamp on all day?
A: Yes, when the lamp is on, it's working! If you turn it off, then it's not working for you!
You can leave your lamp on 24 hours a day. The cords SALTOPIA provides along with our salt lamps are UL certified and there is no fire hazard when used properly and according to the imprinted max wattage directly on the wire/luminaire. If your salt lamp is turned off, then it's not working for you to enjoy the benefits.
Q: How often does the bulb need to be replaced?
A: Unfortunately, SALTOPIA does not manufacture light bulbs.
If your bulb blows out, you can easily replace it. This is a small appliance bulb and can be found at any home store or local hardware store. Refer back to your owners manual on how to change the bulb safely. Always refer directly to the wire/luminaire for max bulb wattage which will be imprinted onto the wire/luminaire itself.
Q: How long should it take to start seeing the effects of the salt lamp?
A: As long as it's on, the lamp is starting to work its magic!
The effects of the ions happen as soon as you leave your lamp on for a few hours.
Q: My lamp is "dripping" or wet around the base. What should I do?
A: If you notice any condensation coming from a lamp that you purchased through SALTOPIA, please read this fully:
Real Himalayan Salt Lamps (not manufactured, fake ones) attract water molecules in the air. That’s how they work and perform their magic! If there is a high level of humidity in the air (even with an AC running), the lamp will be moist to the touch. If you actually leave your lamp on regularly, it will help to keep it drier. And of course keeping the lamp on – will ultimately allow you to enjoy the benefits of the negative ions purifying your air. If the lamp is “dripping” on a nice piece of furniture, please be sure you put something below the lamp as a barrier to protect your furniture. Please know that there should never be pools of water forming or else this creates the potential for a fire hazard. You should never experience a pool of water forming or so much dripping that the wire to the inside light is becoming completely saturated.
