 Frequently Asked Questions 

How to use the salt lamps?

Salt lamps are intended for indoor use only. Salt is hygroscopic, it absorbs water particles from the atmosphere. Therefore, the lamps should be used in dry areas. In case of higher levels of humidity, for example, during rain, the lamp should be turned on. Heat produced by the light bulb inside of the lamp will warm up the salt crystal and make the water particles evaporate from its surface. More...

Why salt lamps from Pakistan or India are a lot cheaper than Polish?

The answer is not straight forward and requires to look into many aspects behind the salt and salt lamp making. More...

 
Why Orion Lights come only in small quantities?

The main reason limiting the production is that we only choose rock salt that possesses the best physical properties suitable for manufacturing of Orion Lights. Another obstacle that determines the number of finished lights is the production processes itself. Only about 50-60% of total amount of rock salt brought from the salt mine is transferred into a beautiful Orion Light. 

Where do the salt lamps come from?

There are different salt crystal lamps on the market coming from different parts of the world. In fact there are only two major regions that the salt lamps come from. One is in Poland and the other one is in Himalayas with salt mines in Pakistan or India. The other sources, if claimed by some of the vendors, are either very small or non existent, meaning invented for the sales purposes only.

Do Salt Crystal Lamps reduce in size or loose their ionizing effect over time?

No, the salt crystals never reduce in size nor lose their ionizing effect. As long as you keep them away from water they will always look the same. The ionizing effect takes place on the molecular level and doesn't involve loss of mass of the salt crystal. 

What size of Salt Crystal Lamp do you recommend to give the best ionizing results?

The rule of thumb is, the bigger room the bigger lamp or few smaller lamps placed strategically around the room. Some companies give recommendations as to the size of lamps and rooms they are suitable for. We don't do that as we feel that those numbers aren't accurate anyway. Instead we recommend that people purchase what they feel would work for them best or because they like the beauty of the particular lamp and they just must have it.

Can I keep my Salt Crystal Lamp on all the time?

Yes you can. In fact a lot of our customers do that and they claim to get the best ionizing effect, where some just simply like the relaxing glow they give off.

Wouldn't my electric bill go up significantly if the lamps stay on all the time?

The Lamps come with 20-40 watt bulbs and from experience we know that the increase is small and most people don't even notice it. 

I have tasted salt on my lips by having the salt lamp in my house, is this normal? 

It is perfectly normal and expected. It means that your salt crystal really works. Don worry when you can't taste the salt either, not everybody is so sensitive to feel it.

I was wondering if you have any studies that detail the quantity of negative ions the lamps produce depending on the size and light?

No we don't have any studies and we don't intend to do them. We simply know the salt works. There is proof of that in many scientific papers showing how salt influences people and what benefits it carries. For that we don't need any studies and you only need an access to the internet and some time to find the information and educate yourself. 

Salt crystal lamps work in several ways, and you decide which way they are going to work for you. We don't sell them as ionizers, but as the unique lighting. 

I've received a gift of your beautiful Salt lamp and am wondering why it has to be lit to emit negative ions. They are not lit in their natural surroundings and they are said to have the same great health effects.

The process of ion exchange is accelerated by heat, however it takes place whether the lamp is on or off. 

Are all Polish lamps the same?

There is only one salt mine in Poland that the salt to make the lamps comes from. However not all the salt coming from the salt mine is the same. It all depends on which deposits are being currently mined. In general all polish lamps would be very similar and the looks will only depend on who made it.
