This review is from: WBM 1301 15-Watt 9-by-5-1/2-Inch Basket Lamp with Himalayan Natural Crystal Salt Chunks (Tools & Home Improvement)
A lot of the salt lamps say they come with a 7 watt or 15 watt bulb. I got this to brighten up a dark corner in my cubicle at work, so I was planning to experiment with a higher wattage bulb anyway. It was interesting to find out that it actually came with a 25 watt bulb already.
Since it also comes with a dimmer (not just an on/off switch) I upgraded to a 40 watt bulb. Any of the small base candelabra type bulbs will fit. The 40 watt bulb illuminates the whole bowl better than the 25 watt. The 25 mostly lit up the top. I have the dimmer set to about 85%.
Since this type of lamp has several openings in the top, I'm not concerned about overheating, like I would be with a lamp with a solid top. It's self ventilating all the way around.
You can arrange the salt chunks to leave the back or the top a little more open, to direct the light up and away, or arrange them to keep it closed all around. I have it sitting on the second shelf of a corner...Read more

Looks like a bowl of hot embers to warm the room!
I found out that if I leave it dimmed down to a low level [like a night light] the next morn when I wake up my allergies/sinuses are somewhat dried up. Kinda like leaving the window open to the salt sea air. I seem to sleep better because I do not have to breath thru my mouth when my nose is stuffy.
It works great for one room, do not expect it to work throughout the entire house - unless you set up more units.

Bought as a birthday gift for mother-in-law. She loves it. It's so warm and comforting. I can't wait till I can get my own.
