Large Himalayan Salt Ball Lamp 4kg

The trick with a salt ball lamp is the geometry: a true 360 degree sphere throws light evenly in every direction, so this 4 kg piece feels different from a flat-backed natural lamp the second you switch it on. Turning a chunk of rock salt into a clean sphere takes far more carving than any other shape in the range.

The details

• Pink halite raised at the Khewra mine in Punjab and worked by hand into a smooth 360 degree ball
• An E14 15W bulb spreads a warm amber light, roughly 1800 to 2200 K, out from every angle at once
• Poised on a rounded timber foot, its plaited cord ending in a UK three-pin plug
• Weighs 4 kg with a diameter of about 18 to 22 cm, suited to rooms up to around 15 square metres
• Iron oxide within the crystal sets the colour, so tone and internal veining vary from one ball to the next

Set it in the middle of a coffee table or dining table where the light can radiate outward, and it holds the eye the way a wall-hugging lamp never quite manages. A question sphere buyers often raise is whether it rolls: the base is cupped to cradle the ball, so it sits put once placed. Salt naturally lifts moisture from the surrounding air, so an occasional damp patch is normal and a clear sign the halite is genuine rather than resin. Keep it lit so the crystal stays dry, and take off any drops with a dry cloth. Want a lamp that glows in all directions? Add one to your basket.

Returns
