Review on πŸ”₯ Himalayan Fire Bowl Salt Lamp Set with 6 Massage Balls - Premium Quality & Authentic from Pakistan by Nick Colton

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Okay, but there are a few things you need to know (see details). Recommended

Just to get this out there, I think Spantik Himalayan Fire Bowl Salt Lamp with 6 Massage Balls is pretty good. The whole thing came, which is a plus. The lamp cup is a one piece piece with a spring clip that fits into the center channel. The cable is not too long. The rotary dimmer is easy to use and works perfectly. So the concept of this lamp is that it uses an old incandescent lamp. This is essentially the same idea as the Easy Bake Oven, where the lightbulb acts as the heat source. Knowing this, you can replace the lightbulb with an LED block if you are using the lightbulb ONLY as a light source and not as a heating base for the massage balls. I wanted to use massage balls so I turned on the lamp and after a few hours they were barely warm! The problem that day was that the blanket ran the fastest and the air in the room was circulating so cold that the balloons couldn't retain heat. The next day I tried again with the ceiling fan off. Hmm not very hot. At this point I was rather disappointed. My engineering brain decided I just needed a heat reflector, so I took a piece of aluminum foil and covered the balloons with it. Excellent! Obviously the foil doesn't go well with the aesthetics of the lamp, but it significantly reduces the heat-up time and raises the temperature significantly. This is important because the thermal mass of salt balls is not particularly high. For $27 (and some tinfoil) I'm quite happy with the salt lamp overall. recommended

Pros
  • Pretty impressive
Cons
  • I vaguely remember
