 AWESOME!!!! Sep 11, 2009
By Samantha A. Wright
I have heard about this from other people and was sceptical, but bought it anyway. It helped my husband sleep all the way through the night on the first night in the room. He usually has a rough time getting to sleep and staying alseep, grinding his teeth and is usually very restless...not anymore. I don't wake up with headaches anymore either. My son wants one now for his room. Mine is a lot brighter than I had hoped, but putting a dark cloth over the top of it at night helps alot. I am recommending everyone get this whether they have problems sleeping or with headaches, or just plain stress (who doesn't have this?) If I had to, would I buy it again? ABSOLUTELY!!!

 Wonderful as nightlite, but for nothing else Oct 22, 2009
By Esprit64
"Esprit64"
I have had rock salt lamps for two years now--buying them for their suggested hype that they were good for health as well as a decorative nightlite. All three adults in my household, with health problems, noticed no difference in health, better sleep, etc., using these lamps.
However, as decoration, these lamps are absolutely beautiful and a stunning addition to anyone's home. When choosing colors, don't make the mistake of matching the lamp color to your decor--because the lighter the color you choose, the brighter the lamp is--making it useless as a nightlite for anyone having difficulty getting to sleep. For example, the red lamp, when lit, glows darker (best for bedrooms)--the orange/peach colors--very bright--like a beacon from a lighthouse (if kept in a bedroom). But, if the bright colors are kept in a living room instead, then the light is appropriate (not as glaring, especially when other room lights are on) and provides wonderful ambient lighting.

I really like this rock, it not only is an ionizer but it makes a great night light.

 Himalayan rock crystal lamp: tasteful, natural, stylish Jun 24, 2011
By Dr. Trang
These low-wattage lamps are made from hollowed-out Himalayan rock-salt, so are quite heavy. They're aesthetically beautiful artifacts to grace any living space and the output of the bulb is typically 15W, but this can vary a bit. The color can also vary through the spectrum from pink to orange, and they always produce a warm glow.
There are also night-light candle versions containing a naked flame; either type is the ideal low-power night light.
Certain health benefits are claimed for these crystals: the heat from the lamp causes the rock-salt molecules to diffuse into the surrounding air resulting in beneficial negative ionisation, and so on. I don't know if the science on these claims is strong, but they certainly seem to calm down the environment.

 Pretty, no change in air, also no UL certification. Feb 28, 2011
By justsomeguy
I got this lamp because it was cheap, and because I had read a little online about the air-cleaning properties of these Himilayan salt lamps. I live in a condo, and the air can get old in the winter time, since I don't open the windows. I had read online about the negative-ion-whatever benefits of these types of lamps, and this was the cheapest one I came across on Amazon, so I got it.

It looks pretty, but that's about it. I've uploaded a photo of mine - it does look pretty cool lit up. It has these diagonal striations in it that look really cool. The rock is like 8 inches high and looks real nice all lit up on a bookshelf. It's attached to this cheap wooden base, which I've also uploaded a photo of, and you can see inside that the light bulb is attached inside via a metal clip. The bulb is like a giant old christmas tree light.

A few concerns: I've had mine on for days, and have not noticed a single change in the air quality or smell of my place. People who buy these on here claim they have slept better, or notice that the air smells like a day after a rainstorm, etc. No. You will not get that with this lamp.
The lamp gets slightly warm, but I highly doubt that it gets warm enough to release negative ions, or whatever it's supposed to do.
My biggest concern, is that this item has no UL certification. The UL stands for Underwriters Laboratories, and they are an independent product safety organization based in Illinois. If you're in America, every single thing in your home that is plugged into the wall has a little tag on the end of it claiming UL inspection. What does this mean? It means that it's safe. It means you can plug it in all day long, all YEAR long, and not have to worry about it catching fire and burning down your house.
This lamp is obviously some cheap knock off made in Taiwan or Hong Kong or wherever cheap labor is these days. It took awhile to arrive, and so far it's working fine. I'm just hesitant to leave it on when I'm not home, since it has no UL Certification. But, aside from all that, it does look pretty cool, and it was pretty cheap.
