How to Use Your Salt Lamp

Simple setup. No assembly required.

1

Place on a stable, flat surface

Nightstand, desk, shelf, or table. Keep away from moisture and humidity (not for bathrooms).

Connect the dimmer cord

Plug the cord into the base of the lamp, then plug into a wall outlet. The dimmer switch is on the cord.

3

Add essential oil (optional)

Add 2-3 drops of your favorite essential oil to the stainless steel tray on top. The gentle heat from the bulb will diffuse the scent naturally.

No water needed. No noise. Just add oil and enjoy.

Turn the dimmer dial to set your perfect glow. Dim for sleep, brighter for relaxing evenings.

🌿 Aromatherapy Tips

  • The tray is removable for easy cleaning
  • Wipe tray with damp cloth between different oils
  • Let lamp warm up for 10-15 minutes for best diffusion

What to Expect

Set the right expectations for your salt lamp experience.

✨

Soft Ambient Glow

Warm amber light, not bright. Bright enough to see, dim enough to sleep with.

🎨

Each Lamp is Unique

Hand-carved from natural salt. Color, shape, and texture vary slightly.

😌

Calming Atmosphere

No harsh blue light. Creates a relaxing space for winding down before bed.

💡 Good to Know

Salt lamps produce a soft, warm glow. They are not designed to light up a room like a regular lamp. Think of it as ambient mood lighting, similar to candlelight. This is normal and what makes salt lamps special.

Common Questions

Why isn't my lamp very bright? ▾
Salt lamps produce a soft ambient glow, not bright light. This is normal and intentional. The warm amber glow creates a calming atmosphere without harsh light. If you need brighter light, salt lamps are not designed for that purpose. They work best as mood lighting, similar to candles.
Is it safe to leave on all night? ▾
Yes. Both lamps are UL Listed for safety and designed for extended use. Many customers leave them on all night as a nightlight. The bulbs run cool and the lamp stays safe to touch. Use the dimmer (Aroma Lamp) to set a low glow for sleeping.
My lamp looks different from the photos. Is this normal? ▾
Yes, completely normal. Every lamp is hand-carved from natural Himalayan salt. Color, shape, and texture vary slightly from lamp to lamp. No two are exactly alike. This is what makes each lamp unique and special. It's not a defect.
Will this help me sleep better? ▾
The warm amber glow creates a calming atmosphere before bed. Unlike phones and screens, there's no harsh blue light to disrupt your natural sleep rhythm. Customers report falling asleep faster and feeling more relaxed. Combined with aromatherapy (lavender oil, for example), it can become part of a relaxing bedtime routine.
Can I use any essential oil? ▾
Yes, any essential oil works. Popular choices: lavender (relaxation), eucalyptus (refreshing), peppermint (energizing), chamomile (calming). Use 2-3 drops at a time. The gentle heat from the bulb diffuses the scent naturally. No water needed.
How do I clean the aromatherapy tray? ▾
The stainless steel tray is removable. Simply lift it off, wipe with a damp cloth, and let it dry before adding a different oil. This prevents mixing scents. For stubborn residue, use a little rubbing alcohol on a cloth.
Is it safe for my child's room? ▾
Yes. Both lamps are UL Listed, cool to touch, and have no small parts. The soft glow helps kids feel safe at night without disrupting sleep. Many parents use the Night Light in nurseries, toddler rooms, and hallways. The Aroma Lamp works great on a shelf out of reach.
My lamp is "sweating" or has moisture on it. What's wrong? ▾
Salt naturally absorbs moisture from the air. In humid environments, the lamp may "sweat." This is normal. To prevent this: keep the lamp on (the heat evaporates moisture), avoid placing in bathrooms or humid rooms, and place on a tray or plate to protect furniture. Wipe with a dry cloth if needed.
What bulb does it use? Where can I get replacements? ▾
Aroma Lamp: 15W incandescent bulb, E26 base (standard US base), A19 shape. Available at any hardware store or Amazon.

Night Light: 7W incandescent bulb, E12 base (candelabra base), C7 shape. 2 bulbs included. Replacements available at hardware stores or Amazon.

Care Instructions

🧂

Salt Crystal

Wipe with a dry cloth only. Never use water or wet cloths on the salt. Dust occasionally.

✨

Aromatherapy Tray

Remove tray. Wipe with damp cloth. Dry completely before adding new oil.

💡

Bulb

Turn off and let cool before replacing. Handle new bulbs with cloth to avoid fingerprints.

🔌

Cord & Plug

Check cord periodically for damage. Unplug when not in use for extended periods.

Important: Keep away from moisture and humidity. Do not place in bathrooms, near open windows in rainy weather, or in very humid rooms. Salt absorbs moisture and may "sweat" or dissolve over time if exposed to humidity. Place on a tray or coaster to protect furniture.
