A crystal salt lamp offers earthy, elemental beauty and provides ambient light to any room. Himalayan Salt Lamps can be cleaned with a slightly damp cloth. The anti-bacterial nature of the salt means that it does not require any other form of cleaning. Himalayan salt is hygroscopic in nature which means that it will absorb moisture from it's surrounding. It's then usual for it to get damp when that moisture is released. It is possible that when the lamp is received, it will be damp to touch but please be advised that this is completely normal and the moisture will evaporate once the lamp has been lit for a while. These lamps, along with our other Himalayan salt range is imported from Pakistan, where this salt originates. They have travelled a long way in boxes and so the process of absorbing and releasing moisture will mean that the lamps will more than likely be damp when first received. All lamps include PYGYM Bulb & 3pin standard UK Plug or 2pin EU plugs.
