The d’aplomb 100% Authentic Natural Himalayan Salt Lamp; Hand-Carved Modern Rectangle Rare Pink Crystal Rock Salt from The Himalayan Mountain; Footed Wood Base, Dimmer Cord; 11.5 lbs is a substantial, design-forward alternative to the typical rough-cut salt rock. Hand-carved into a sleek rectangle and set on a wood base, it uses a dimmable E12 incandescent bulb (15W max) to cast a warm, adjustable glow. At roughly 11.5 pounds, the lamp feels premium and stable, making it ideal for bedrooms, offices, and relaxation corners where ambience matters. Each piece is unique in color and veining, and the included UL-listed cord with in-line dimmer helps you dial in brightness from night-light soft to reading-friendly warm light.

Why We Like It

• Clean, modern shape that reads like décor, not novelty
• Excellent dimmer range from very low to comfortably bright
• Substantial weight adds stability and a high-end feel
• Two bulbs included—use one, keep one as backup
• UL-listed cord set for added safety peace of mind
• Hand-carved authenticity with unique color variations

Keep in mind: It uses incandescent bulbs (runs warm) and may “sweat” moisture in humid rooms—use a coaster or tray. A few users report early failures; test promptly.

Feedback trends also mention occasional unit failures or stopped-working reports, plus minor nuisances like silica/moisture packet residue on the salt that wipes off. Several buyers say it’s been reliable for years when left on nightly, while others note normal bulb replacements over time. Some users perceive wellness benefits; others enjoy it purely for ambience and style.

FAQs

Q1: What bulbs does it use?
A: E12 candelabra bulbs up to 15W. Two incandescent bulbs are included; higher wattage is not recommended.
