1. Himalayan Orange Globes

The uniqueness of the salt lamp is that it can be modeled into many interesting shapes and figures to appeal to the eye.

A highly popular shape among the customers is the orange globe. Many customers purchase this product because of the sun. The orange tint of the product provides a campfire-like light to the room, which makes the room cozier.

The basket is crafted of metal and can be placed in any room of the house, be it a living room, kitchen, or bedroom. (Note: Himalayan salt lamps are not recommended for outdoor use.

3. Hand Carved Natural Shape Himalayan Salt Lamp

Scientifically, the rough surface of the salt lamp serves a purpose. The irregular shape has a greater surface area, which releases more negative ions as compared to the other shapes. The salt lamp uses a low watt electric bulb to light and heats the fire. The heat from the bulb generates negative ions into the environment.
