Assembling Your Salt Lamp
When you receive your salt lamp, follow these simple steps to assemble it:

2. Discard the silica gel packet (to keep the lamp dry during transport).
3. Screw in the provided bulb into the globe holder.
4. Insert the bulb and globe holder into the lamp base.
5. Ensure the wire passes through the pre-cut wire snips in the base.
6. Plug in the lamp and switch it on. Remember to turn it off when moving it.
Avoid Common Mistakes
• Direct Sunlight and Heat: Keep your salt lamp away from direct sunlight and extreme heat.
• Excessive Moisture: Protect your lamp from excessive moisture to prevent salt absorption.
• Low-Wattage Bulbs: Use a small, low-wattage bulb to avoid overheating.
Handling Excess Moisture
• If your lamp becomes damp (due to humidity or accidental spills), place it in direct sunlight for 4 to 5 hours.
• Brush off any large salt crystals after drying.
Changing the Bulb
• When replacing the bulb, ensure the lamp is unplugged.
• Use the same type of bulb provided with the lamp.
Dealing with a Wet Lamp
• If your lamp gets wet, follow the drying process mentioned earlier.
• Avoid using a wet lamp to prevent electrical hazards.
Storing Your Lamp
• Before storing your lamp, remove the bulb and cord.
• Store it in an airtight plastic bag to prevent moisture absorption.
