Dolphin Himalayan Salt Lamp

Want a child's night light warmer and more natural than another plug-in plastic one? This dolphin salt lamp is carved by hand from a block of pink Himalayan salt and genuinely glows once the bulb is on, a proper working lamp with real charm rather than a static ornament. Each dolphin is shaped on its own, so the posture, the fin and the colour tone are never repeated.

Inside sits an E14 15W bulb casting a soft amber light of roughly 1800 to 2200 K, its colour drawn purely from iron oxide in the halite. The piece stands on a compact wooden foot, its braided flex fitted with a UK three-pin plug; it weighs around 0.8 to 1.5 kg and measures about 15 to 20 cm long. It lands most often in children's bedrooms and coastal-themed rooms, where parents like the low-glare warmth and marine wildlife fans simply like the shape. A question parents often ask is whether it's safe to leave on overnight: the 15W bulb draws little power and gives off only mild warmth, so it suits an all-night nightlight, though as with any lamp it's best kept off the very edge of a low table.

Worth knowing before it arrives: salt draws water out of the air, so the odd damp patch is entirely normal and actually a good sign that you have genuine Khewra salt rather than a fake. Keep the bulb burning to hold the crystal dry and wipe any beads off with a dry cloth. Ready to swap harsh plastic for a softer glow at bedtime? Add one to your basket.

Returns
