10 Best Himalayan Salt Lamps UK 2024

Because each and every lamp is unique, you will see their weight formatted as an average, for example, 3-4kg rather than just 3kg. To get an idea of the kind of room that corresponds to each salt lamp’s weight, check out the list below: 

• 2-4kg: Suitable for a small workspace, treatment room or bedroom. The effects of lamps smaller than 2kg won’t be very noticeable unless they are being solely used for decorative purposes.
• 4-6kg: Small to medium bedrooms or spaces of 4-6 square metres would be suited to this size or the equivalent of a couple of 2-3kg lamps.
  
• 6-10kg: Fitting for large bedrooms, living rooms and other spaces of up to 10×10 square metres.
  
• 13kg and above: Large rooms, large offices, and even cafes, shops and restaurants would be a match for these statement lamp sizes.
  

Another tip is to scroll through the reviews, to see what other shoppers who have already purchased the item have to say about its authenticity and performance.

Alternatively, there are options for those carved into various designs such as spheres or pyramids, and novelty shapes like animals and hearts. There is also a growing trend for lamps in the form of a bowl or basket filled with salt rocks, made from either the Himalayan salt itself or a metal. Whatever your taste, there’s a lamp to suit!

Colour-wise, most genuine lamps will take on the pretty pink hue Himalayan salt is known for, and will glow a warm pink-orange when illuminated. However, the bulb and exact colour of the salt itself will vary from brand to brand and can be lighter or darker, so take a look at the photos to determine the shade.

Those who wish to place their lamp in the bedroom (or are keen to create a cosy ambience in any room) may, therefore, want to look for models with a dimmer switch, which can be adjusted accordingly for reading, relaxation, or as a comforting nightlight for children.
