WBM Salt Lamp – USB Himalayan Salt Lamp with Touch Dimmer Control | Wooden Base | LED Bulb | 5-7lbs

I've been wanting one of these lamps for a long time. I promised myself as soon as the pricegot within my range, it would be mine. So many people had good things to say about the WBM brandas well, I kept looking at those lamp options. I am SO glad that I bought it.It arrived today. The box had a tear in the lid. The lamp had a chunk broken off of it as well.(A fairly substantial piece, yet I did not feel it mattered enough to return the lamp. See photos.)The lamp is MUCH heavier than I had expected, so that was a surprise. You would definitely not want toplace this where it could be knocked off or tipped over easily, or over a glass shelf. In our case, wehave curious cats, so its final place will need to be where the cats cannot rub on it and tip it over orknock it off onto something else.The base is very sturdy and looks nice. Mine is a medium brown tone and would fit in about any décor.I love the natural look of the lamp. (I have photos of the lamp both on and off - please check the additionalphotos in the item description.) I really look forward to seeing how it looks at night in a dark room.Some of the things in the tiny print in the usage manual include not using it outside, and to always use aplacemat or coaster due to the salt "sweating" and possibly damaging furniture. Right now, mine is on a surfacethat won't matter, but it is worth mentioning, in case you might have plans to place it on a good end table or bookcase.In my case, this is going to be in my bedroom, and I already have an orange bedspread, so it fits right in.However, I would love this no matter what colors I had in my room.The height and size varies naturally, so no two lamps will be alike. Mine is approximately 8.25" tall (includingthe base), and fits well into the bedroom. It seems to be about 4.5" wide. I love all the natural crags and crevacesof the lamp. The backside of mine is flat, but that's okay too.I am using the original night light (which is replaceable either to change colors or replace a burned out light), andthe lamp gives off a very pleasant orange/peach glow. I like just looking at it too, and will probably stare at it alittle more in the dark! Ha!As far as freshening the air with the negative ions - it is too soon to tell, so I'll update my review once I feel we'vehad time to feel a difference. Our bedroom is not huge (maybe 10x11), so 2-3 weeks should be enough time to feel any breathingdifferences. Both my daughter and I have asthma and allergies. The cats are in and out of here all day long as well, soanything it can do to help is going to be great. I've read both good and bad about the negative ion thing and asthma, soI have placed it away from where my head will actually be in bed.Overall, I am very happy with my purchase, and will probably be buying more as the money allows. The look alone is enoughto please me, and I do hope the salt lives up to the claims on the air freshening.UPDATE AUG 2011:We now have THREE of these lamps. Yes, they seem to do that much good for the air quality.We have a very small place, and despite changing the filters monthly, is the most dusty place in whichI've ever lived. Since using these lamps, I no longer experience that burning in my sinuses that I had before.Each lamp received has been very different, with the last one being the lightest in color.However, as long as they are all a chunk of the salt, and they do their job, I can live with that.I want to get a smaller one for our bathroom as well.NOTE: When replacing the bulbs, they use a bulb just like a Christmas tree light. HOWEVER - most holiday lightsare only 4 watts. You will NOT get the air purifying effect with that - it will be a decorative light only. Thesalt has to get warm to help filter the air, and that only happens with a 15-watt bulb. They are available in2-packs at WalMart, and I am sure many other places. Just check on your wattage if your lamp does not seem to bedoing much.

I have ordered several different brands of salt lamps from Amazon and this is by far the BEST. It is the perfect size and has a well-made, sturdy base with notches cut for the cord so it sits flat. But the best feature by far is the cord. It’s well insulated and appears to be up to US standards, unlike the cords on every other lamp I have purchased. And the dimmer switch is excellent. I have no qualms about leaving it on while I sleep. It is quite heavy though so be careful to place it somewhere where children and pets can’t pull it off the table. And the best part? It appears to actually WORK! My allergies have improved tenfold since using it. I have purchased a few additional ones for friends/relatives and they all love it too.

Lindo diseño y me encanta el ambiente que crea con la luz tenue y cálida, aparte de que ayuda a la radiación electromagnética de la habitación.

It was perfect ! I wish it was larger but it is a good size. Stand is wonkie but lights up and looks good. Now let's see if it does its work.

Second one for our bedroom. The first one went to my granddaughter

Beautiful lamp. Kittys like it tooAm ordering more. Thank you

My wife loves this rock light which has sat by our bed for over 8 years now, and is still going strong. I've changed the bulb twice - it was easy - over the last 8 years. The dimming feature is great, allowing for mood and seasonal changes. The color is great too. Love it.

If I could give the WBM company where this Himalayan Salt Lamp comes from a ZERO star review, I would! They do not care about their customers at all! I bought 2 of these Salt Lamps, a Himalayan Salt Chunk Basket, and 4 Himalayan Tea Light Candle Holders from this company all in one day! The Himalayan Salt Chunk Basket came first. These items are EXTREMELY heavy.......a lot heavier than I thought they would be. Anyway, after opening the box and unpackaging the item (which is packaged in many different layers), I set out the lamp and plugged it in. Much to my dismay, the light did not work in my Salt Lamp. I turned the dimmer switch up and down a couple of times and it turned on for a minute and then turned off again. I found that if I had the dimmer switch in just the right position, it worked. But, as soon as I moved it just a tiny bit, it would turn off again. I do not want a plug/dimmer switch/bulb that works some of the time, I want one that works ALL of the time! Then I looked at all of the salt chunks in the basket. All of the WBM products claim to give off an AMBER glow. For the few minutes that my Salt Lamp was on, I noticed that the Salt Chunks were mainly white with a few pink chunks thrown in. Those were my two main issues with the Himalayan Salt Chunk Basket. Then, the next day my 4 Himalayan Salt Tea Light Candle Holders and 2 of the #1002 Himalayan Salt Lamps arrived! The box was so heavy.......I would say at least 30 pounds. I got everything out, unpackaged the products for about a half an hour because of how many layers they are wrapped in and looked at everything. The two Salt Lamps looked beautiful! Two of the Tea Light Candle Holders were pink and two of the Tea Light Candle Holders were a dirty white color like you would see in the snow in the winter. One of the white ones looked like it was nearly cut right in half. Now, I understand that Himalayan Salt is a naturally occurring substance and that each product will be a bit different, but these tea light candle holders varied not only in color, but in weight. I would say that they can vary by up to a pound or two. Yes, they are that different. I put tea light candles in all four of the tea light holders and 2 of them were a beautiful amber color (as stated on ALL WBM products), and two of them looked like salt that was put on the road after a heavy snow......DIRTY WHITE! I was happy with the two pink tea light candle holders but VERY UNHAPPY with the other two! Then I went to plug in the two Salt Lamps. Well, one of the plug/dimmer switch/bulbs was smashed at the dimmer switch and did not turn on at all! I plugged in the other Salt Lamp and although it's plug/dimmer switch/bulb was not smashed, it did not work either!!! OMG! I ORDERED 7 PRODUCTS FROM THIS COMPANY AND ONLY 2 OF THE TEA LIGHT CANDLE HOLDERS WERE AS DESCRIBED! The other 2 were dirty white in color and one was carved practically in half. NONE OF MY HIMALAYAN SALT LAMPS WORKED BECAUSE OF THE DIMMER SWITCHES!!!! I was VERY disappointed! I called Amazon and told a Customer Service Rep. what was going on and she provided me with WBM's Customer Service Number. I called it and talked to one of WBM's Customer Service Reps. He said that I had to email WBM after he took down notes on every single issue that I had with my WBM products. So, I wrote to WBM. I waited a couple of days and received NO RESPONSE. I resent my original email to WBM again........STILL NO RESPONSE! I wrote to WBM a third time telling them that I needed 3 new plug/dimmer switches/bulbs, a new bag of salt chunks for the Salt Basket Lamp, and 2 of the 4 Tea Light Candle Holders replaced. I was expecting all of these FREE OF CHARGE because I was clearly sent DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS! I got a response stating that I would receive the 3 plug/dimmer switches/bulbs free of charge, but that they did not replace Salt Chunks (Even though they were mainly dirty and white) and they would not replace the 2 Tea Light Candle Holders free of charge! I was asked for my address and told that the three dimmer switches would be sent to me. AT THIS POINT, I AM JUST FUMING MAD! I PAID $75 FOR DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS AND WBM WAS ONLY GOING TO SEND ME THE 3 DIMMER SWITCHES FREE OF CHARGE! I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT WBM DOES NOT HAVE REPLACEMENT SALT CHUNKS! REALLY? WHERE DO YOU GET THE SALT CHUNKS FOR ALL OF YOUR OTHER SALT CHUNK BASKETS? AND THE 2 TEA LIGHT CANDLE HOLDERS THAT ARE DIRTY AND WHITE AND CARVED INCORRECTLY COST $10.00 FOR BOTH OF THEM TOGETHER AS I BOUGHT THE TWO PACK! SO WBM EXPECTS ME TO SHIP BACK THE TWO DIRTY WHITE TEA LIGHT CANDLE HOLDERS THAT WEIGH SO MUCH THAT IT WOULD COST ME MORE IN SHIPPING THAN I PAID FOR THEM! WHAT A JOKE! IT HAS BEEN TWO WEEKS SINCE MY ORIGINAL EMAIL WAS SENT TO WBM AND I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED MY 3 FREE PLUGS/DIMMER SWITCHES/BULBS!!!!! WBM SELLS DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS AND CLEARLY DOES NOT CARE ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS! The one good thing I can say is that Amazon went ahead and replaced my two dirty white Tea Light Candle Holders FREE OF CHARGE and did not make me send the ones that I have back! The second two were much better! I WOULD SHIP EVERY SINGLE SALT LAMP AND TEA LIGHT CANDLE HOLDER RIGHT BACK IF IT WEREN'T FOR THEIR CONSIDERABLE WEIGHT AND FACT THAT I AM AFRAID THE LAMPS WOULD BREAK DURING RETURN SHIPPING! WBM........GET A CLUE! CUSTOMER SERVICE ALWAYS COMES FIRST AND YOU HAVE NOT DONE ONE THING FOR ME TO HELP ME WITH ALL OF THE DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS THAT I HAVE RECEIVED!
