FAQs

How often should I keep my Himalayan Salt Lamp turned on?

For optimal benefits and to prevent moisture absorption, it's generally recommended to keep your salt lamp turned on as much as possible, especially in humid environments. Many users keep theirs on 24/7.

Are the reported health benefits scientifically proven?

The health benefits associated with Himalayan salt lamps, such as air purification and mood improvement, are widely reported by users. While many find them beneficial, scientific evidence supporting these specific claims is varied and not universally conclusive. They are best enjoyed for their aesthetic appeal and calming ambiance.

What type of bulb does this lamp use?

The Hestia Himalayan Rock Salt Metal Basket Lamp uses a 15W E14 (small Edison screw) incandescent bulb. It comes with one included, and replacements should match these specifications.

Can I use this lamp in a bathroom or other high-humidity areas?

No, it is not recommended to use the salt lamp in bathrooms, laundries, or any other areas with consistently high humidity. The natural salt will absorb moisture from the air, which can cause it to 'sweat,' dissolve, or damage the electrical components over time.

How do I know if my lamp is purifying the air?

While there's no visible indicator of air purification, the reported negative ion emission is believed to help cleanse the air. Many users report a noticeable improvement in air quality and a fresher feeling in the room where the lamp is used.

Is each lamp truly unique?

Yes, as the lamp is crafted from 100% natural Himalayan rock salt, each piece has its own unique shape, size, and pink colouration, making every lamp one-of-a-kind.

Troubleshooting

Lamp is not lighting up.

First, ensure the lamp is securely plugged into a working UK power outlet. Check the inline switch on the power cord to make sure it's in the 'on' position. If it still doesn't light, the 15W E14 bulb may need replacement. Unplug the lamp and allow it to cool before carefully screwing in a new bulb.

Lamp appears to be 'sweating' or dripping water.

This is a natural occurrence caused by the salt absorbing moisture from the air (hygroscopy). It indicates high humidity in the room. Move the lamp to a drier location, turn it on more frequently to warm and dry the salt, or use a dehumidifier in the room. Unplug the lamp and gently pat dry any moisture with a clean, dry cloth.

The salt crystal surface looks dusty or dirty.

Unplug the lamp. Gently clean the salt surface with a dry cloth or a soft, non-abrasive brush. Avoid using any liquids or wet cleaning agents, as this can damage the salt crystal.

Lamp gets very hot to the touch.

While salt lamps do generate some warmth from the bulb, it should not be excessively hot. Ensure you are using the specified 15W E14 bulb. Using a higher wattage bulb can cause overheating and is not recommended. If the heat persists with the correct bulb, unplug and contact customer support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Unpack: Carefully remove the lamp from its packaging.
  2. Placement: Choose a stable, flat surface away from direct sources of moisture or high humidity, such as bathrooms or near open windows.
  3. Plug In: Insert the included 15W E14 bulb into the lamp holder if not already installed. Then, plug the lamp into any standard UK electrical outlet.
  4. Activate: Use the inline switch on the power cord to turn the lamp on.

Compatibility

  • Power: Designed for use with a standard UK plug (220-240V).
  • Bulb: Uses an E14 (small Edison screw) 15W incandescent bulb. Ensure replacement bulbs match these specifications.

Care

  • Cleaning: To clean the salt crystal, gently wipe it with a dry cloth or a soft brush to remove dust. Do not use water or wet cloths, as salt is hygroscopic and will absorb moisture, potentially causing the lamp to 'sweat' or dissolve.
  • Moisture Protection: Keep the lamp in a dry environment. If you notice any moisture on the lamp, turn it off, unplug it, and gently wipe it dry with a clean cloth. If stored for long periods, consider wrapping it in a plastic bag to protect it from humidity.
  • Bulb Replacement: Always unplug the lamp before attempting to replace the bulb. Allow the old bulb to cool down completely before handling.
