Caring for Your Salt Lamp
Keep It Dry
Use your lamp in a dry indoor space and avoid high-humidity areas.
Wipe Gently
Dust with a soft cloth. If needed, use a barely damp cloth and dry right away.
Plug Directly
Do not use extension cords. Keep plugs, sockets, and cords dry.
Keep Upright
For night lights, the 360° plug may rotate, but upright position is recommended.
Why Salt Lamps Can Sweat
Himalayan salt naturally attracts moisture from the air. In humid spaces, your lamp may feel damp or show small droplets. This is normal and does not mean the lamp is damaged.
- Turn the lamp on regularly to help keep it warm and dry
- Wipe moisture away with a soft, dry cloth
- Use a coaster, tray, or protective surface underneath
- Move the lamp away from bathrooms, humidifiers, and damp windows
Natural Character
Every Himalight lamp is made from authentic Himalayan salt, so natural differences are part of its charm.
- Color, shape, texture, and crystal pattern may vary
- Small surface marks are normal for natural salt
- No two lamps are exactly alike
- Natural variation is not considered a defect
