Anyone has a salt lamp which is from Himilaya? It is supposed to be good for improving our health.

May I know where did you get it from and how much does it cost? Where did you get the 15 w bulb which is hard to get.osim wrote:I have 4 at home, 3 in bedrooms and 1 in living.

They are on 24/7. 15watt bulb to give light and heat to keep the lamp dry. The big block of salt is so salty it will absorb moisture from the atmosphere and as a result the surface will change from crystalline to liquid, then the heat will evaporate this liquid which emits the -ve ion. That's why the rock sweat if you don't apply heat. If you are not using the lamp, you have to wrap it up to prevent contact with atmosphere or you get a puddle of salt water next to the lamp after a day.
You can get the bulb from any shop that sells light bulbs. It is the screw on type. Box is blue in colour and has the word Pygmy on it, cost $1.50 can last quite a few months.kitty2 wrote:
