UPDATE on January 28th, 2012: Please make sure you get the correct replacement bulbs. I had a scare when it was brought to my attention that the lamp did not take 25 watts, but 15. You can use 15 watts, but the lamp does take 25 watt candelabra bulbs, this is according to the manufacturer tag that is on the basket lamp cord. Please see the photo gallery as I took a picture of the tag on the basket lamp. Thank you!
Added October 2, 2012: Someone was nice enough to remind me you can now buy the replacement bulbs here: 25 Watt tubular bulbs for Himalayan Salt Lamps (Package of 6 bulbs) fits E12 Socket. They fit the salt rock lamps perfectly. I was buying them locally and they did not fit as well or last as long.
I wanted to give you a video review of this salt rock lamp from when I removed it from the box and opened it. This lamp along with the other salt rock lamps is so beautiful! I hope this video will show setting up the lamp and how salt rock lamps differ due to the cut of the salt rock (s).

This lamp was one of my husband's birthday gifts. I was searching for something, well---way out there. A funky, novelty gift---something he had never seen before.
I wasn't, however, prepared for the high quality of this lamp. It blew us both away! This is NOT a small lamp; it is heavy, well constructed, and it has presence. It would not be missed, in any room. Once we arranged the salt crystals to our liking, and flipped on the switch, we both simultaneously let out a BIG, 'ahhhhhhhh!' We would never have believed that such a small light bulb, would illuminate every crystal, to the point of appearing like a basket of fire. It actually looked inviting, like if we held our hands over it, we could warm them. And, the glow that filled the room was beautiful---not to mention complementary to every complexion. The crystals remained just slightly warm, even when the lamp was on for several hours.
One of the things we immediately noticed, as the lamp warmed, was that we actually could smell the salt and the effects of the negative ions. According to the packaging, "A scientific study has shown that the lighted salt lamp increases the negative ion count up to 600%." I believe it, when it was overtly noticeable.
So, it seems this 'novelty' gift has unexpectedly earned the status of a special treasure, beautifying our living room, and perhaps providing health benefits, as well. My hubby swears that he has already noticed a difference with his allergies, and the general freshness of the room.
The basket is easy to set up, but will shed some salt in the process, so it's a good idea to work on a surface that is easily cleaned. It is recommended to be placed on some type of place-mat. I would also be very careful if you have small children, or pets. They may be attracted to these crystals---they ARE salt, and DO taste like salt, so they may want to put them in their mouth. It is also very heavy; a child could pull it off a table on themselves.
If you're looking for a holiday gift, I couldn't recommend this lamp more highly. The history, alone, will wow most people. We're looking at pink salt crystals that have been harvested, from the Himalayan mountains, from a 250 million year old natural salt deposit. Then the crystals are sent to local artisans to craft the lamps. I find that fascinating!
If you are remotely interested---this is a must have. Treat yourself, a friend, or loved one. I can almost guarantee there will be NO disappointment.
Update: 06/24/13. My lamp is still going strong with only two bulb replacements since purchase. It's still a focal point for curiosity and complements from those who have never seen such a lamp. Interestingly, Amazon now sells the replacement bulbs, at a good value, which have been a little hard to find.

This is amazing. I love it. It looks so pretty at night and is very relaxing.
Makes a great night light and it has helped my allergies. I am usually sick by now at this time of
year with bronchitis or upper respiratory infections, but so far I am healthy. I think it is because
this really does what it says.

I bought this lamp on Amazon in early January, 2012. I was hesitant to order this lamp after reading some of the reviews regarding poor quality and sometime lack of dimmer switches, but took a chance because I had an amazon gift card to put to use. I was hoping to use this to help with my allergies and had been eyeing similar items for a while but I really liked the look and size of this lamp the best. I was thrilled to get it promptly, well packaged, and complete with the dimmer switch! The lamp was gorgeous: the basket was sturdy and colors of the salt were just lovely! I read all the directions, carefully unwrapped it, removed the cardboard from around the bulb, then plugged it in and turned it on. The light flickered twice and died! So, I consulted the directions for the bulb size and went out the next day to buy a new bulb. I carefully replaced the bulb and held my breath hoping that would be the necessary fix. I turned it on and the lamp glowed beautifully, but unfortunately, the dimmer switch did NOT work at all..it only served as an on/off switch. I was disappointed about that because being able to adjust the lighting level of this kind of lamp is a nice feature. Still, I was happy to finally get it working and it really looked good.
After being on for only a few hours, the lamp went dark!!! I am not changing the bulb again! The problem is with the lamp, not the bulbs. The electrical components are of poor, hazardous quality and no matter how lovely this lamp looks and how therapeutic it might be...I will NOT buy another one unless the company starts to produce a quality product with more consistent reviews from happy customers. I hoped I would be like one of the lucky ones who got a perfectly good lamp...but no such luck, so I am returning this asap for a refund. If you buy, hope for the best, but keep the packing materials...just in case it dies a quick death like my lamp did!

I bought this because it looked interesting and I was surprised. It is wonderful, and has helped my allergies. I live in Texas, and mold is everywhere. Somehow this lamp helps control mold. Not sure how from a medical standpoint, but I love it and keep it on all day. As a senior citizen I watch my expenses, but would rather pay for this than a doctors visit or allergy pills. Don't hesitate to try this.
