One of the most popular questions we received: What size Himalayan salt lamp should I choose?
Himalayan salt lamps are priced by weight, color, quality, shape, etc. The salt lamps generally placed in the home can be roughly classified into the following sizes:
Wonder Salt Lamps
- Salt Rock weight 2-3kg,height 16-18cm,width 12cm
- Salt Rock weight 3-5kg,height 19-21cm,width 13cm
- Salt Rock weight 5-7kg,height 21-25cm,width 15cm
Shaped salt lamps can be divided into two common sizes, 10 cm or less in diameter and 12 cm or more in diameter.
How to choose the right size salt lamp? Here we provide two guidelines for reference
1. Uses
If you want to use a salt lamp as a bedside lamp or night light, it is recommended to choose a natural mountain-shaped salt lamp of 2-3 kg or a shaped salt lamp with a diameter of less than 10 cm.
If used as a table lamp or decorative ornament, you can choose a natural mountain-shaped salt lamp of 3-5 kg or more or a shaped salt lamp with a diameter of 12 cm or more.
2. Area
You can also decide the size of the salt lamp to choose according to the area of the space where the salt lamp is expected to be placed:
Area | Suggested Size | Lighting module |
< 100sq.ft <3sqm <10 sqm | Wonder 2-3kg/ <width 10cm salt rock | 15W lightbulb/ ONELIVINGS LED module |
100-200sq.ft 3-6sqm 10-20 sqm | Wonder 3-5kg/ <width 12cm salt rock | 15W lightbulb ONELIVINGSLED module |
> 200sq.ft > 6sqm > 20 sqm | 25W lightbulb ONELIVINGS LED module |
In terms of shape and texture, the natural mountain-shaped salt lamp is manually mined from the rock salt cave. The surface is only slightly carved into a mountain shape, which highlights the rough and primitive sense of rock salt. It is a natural work of art that is both practical and unique.
Salt stone is a natural mineral, which produces different mineral structures when the earth's crust is changed and extruded. Therefore, the inside of the salt stone shows different natural cracks and mineral grain lines, which brings a more varied and unique beauty to the salt lamp.
After mining, the salt lamps are polished into spherical, cubic, columnar, droplet-shaped, pyramid-shaped, and other geometric shapes by hand, adding a sense of fashion.
In addition, various shapes also have different mystical meanings. For example, the round sphere symbolizes responsiveness; the pyramid shape was sought after by the ancient Egyptians as an amplified energy receiver that locks electromagnetic waves, cosmic rays, electrical discharges, and gravitational waves in space. When energy enters the pyramid, it will converge from all directions to form an energy field, and then shoot rays toward the center of the five corners of the pyramid. It is said that if you receive this regenerative energy, it can be transformed into your own magnetic field, which can relieve fatigue, refresh your mind, and improve your spiritual level. These meanings can be used as a reference when giving gifts, adding a deeper blessing to this unique and warm gift.
