I am a fan of salt rock lamps. My mom has had one for years. It’s something that is not only beautiful to have in home, but is also beneficial for you. The ways that it can be beneficial to you are also personal. Or example, I find the light very soothing and relaxing, where others may not even care about it. Sometimes things that are very beneficial to your wellbeing are more of a personal choice.  I received this salt lamp from Skullis in their smaller size. This lamp can range anywhere from 3 – 4.5lbs in size. They do also offer it in a larger size, 6-11lbs. What I really appreciate, is that when my light arrived, they had also included 3 bulbs with it. It only uses 1 bulb, but now I have two for back up. The bulbs are 15 watt bulbs. I want to see if I can find a LED alternative. Since they packed it so well, all three bulbs worked upon arrival as well. In matter of fact, the entire lamp was wrapped really well. I had to use scissors to cut off the saran wrap type wrapping protecting the salt lamp itself. This unit uses a traditional house plug. It is American 2 prong plug as well. The salt lamp is a natural Himalayan salt lamp. The color when the lamp isn’t on is a darker orange/pink. Salmon may be the more correct way to call the color. Since it is a natural product, the color may vary. When the lamp is on, the entire salt lamp glows a brighter hue. It is so gorgeous on. You can determine the brightness level too. There is a dimmer on the cord approx.. ¼ of the way down the cord. Now, the salt rock is separate from the lamp base. Screw on the light bulb, and plug in the base. Then, carefully rest the salt rock on top of the light bulb. There is obviously a hole cut out of the center, bottom of the salt rock to accommodate the bulb. For all of you thinking, what the heck does this lamp do, this is from the ad page directly: “Natural Himalayan salt lamp will absorb moisture from the air, and then evaporated to release negative ions. It can play a role in purifying the air, called natural ionic air purifiers”. I obviously can’t measure what’s going on in the air when I use it, but Even my mom enjoys having one in her home, and she hates using electricity if she doesn’t have to, lol. They make a great accent light/night light as well. They are truly relaxing to have on in the evening. The warm glow is gorgeous, and knowing it helps your air makes it extra soothing, mentally. It does help the ambiance for the room for a romantic evening as well. After being on for hours, the light does not get hot to the touch. You can gran it with your palm fully embracing it, and it is only slightly warm to the touch. That is a great thing when you have pets and children in the home. You can feel safe with this on. Now, from past experience, my mom states that if you open your windows a lot, the humidity can eat at the salt block of the light. So, you might want to place it in a more non humid environment. We normally have the air conditioner on, but her air went out a few years ago, and experienced this with her Rock Salt Lamp, then. I absolutely love my Himalayan Salt Lamp. It’s a great addition to our home.

A different way to diffuse. – Innovation Product’s Electric Fragrance Oil Lamp, Essential Oil Diffuser with 35 Watt Halogen Bulb and Touch Dimmer Switch. https://cspierdowis.com/a-different-way-to-diffuse-innovation-products-electric-fragrance-oil-lamp-essential-oil-diffuser-with-35-watt-halogen-bulb-and-touch-dimmer-switch/ https://cspierdowis.com/a-different-way-to-diffuse-innovation-products-electric-fragrance-oil-lamp-essential-oil-diffuser-with-35-watt-halogen-bulb-and-touch-dimmer-switch/#respond Thu, 14 Apr 2016 04:36:58 +0000 https://cspierdowis.com/?p=3618

I love essential oils. I use them all of the time. I normally use essential oil diffusers to disperse them throughout the room. This light is different. It’s a light/fragrance lamp. You can use it without the plate, as just a nice accent lamp/nightlight. This lamp comes with a 35W halogen bulb, and a glass plate. The power cord is attached. You can use it with or without the plate. It is not recommended to leave the plate on longer than 8 hours. It does get hot. It is also not recommended to place oil on the plate if it’s already hot. The light does get warm to the touch. Little ones might burn themselves on it. This would be something I would recommend placing on a counter top, away from the edge, if you have little ones, or inquisitive pets. It doesn’t feel hot to me. I can wrap my hand completely around it. I can also lift the plate up, and hold it on the palm of my hand when heated up. It is ok to use essential oils on this unit. I did some research to make sure it was healthy to do, and it’s fine. Only use pure essential oils, for healthy benefits. It is a nice, all natural way to freshen up your home. Most store bought air fresheners are so unhealthy for you. Right now I have lemongrass on my plate. I like to use Lavender and Eucalyptus a lot, as well. You also want to make sure the plate is cooled off before washing it. Otherwise, you will have a cracked plate on your hands. The attached cord to this lamp is a 2 prong plug. So, it is handy to be plugged in anywhere. It also has the power/dimmer switch attached to it. It is placed approx. ½ way down the cord. The cord is just under 4 feet long. The turn knob is pretty cool. It is a lot larger than I am used to. It is so easy to turn, and dim or brighten the light. You can turn it on and off here as well. The lamp has a honeycomb like pattern built into it It throws a really pretty light pattern. I received it in pink, but they currently have it available in purple as well. The unit is made well. It’s thick and solid, not easily broken. I placed about 5 drops of oil on the plate at a time. It lasts for a few hours that way, which is a good amount of time. With the plate on it, it is only 4 ½” tall. So, it’s a very convenient size. I love it as a nightlight. It’s a really pretty light.

Very bright, and easy to use. – Lifestance’s Super Bright 6 Led Solar Light. https://cspierdowis.com/very-bright-and-easy-to-use-lifestances-super-bright-6-led-solar-light/ https://cspierdowis.com/very-bright-and-easy-to-use-lifestances-super-bright-6-led-solar-light/#respond Thu, 31 Mar 2016 03:55:49 +0000 https://cspierdowis.com/?p=3287  

I love solar lighting. It’s a no running cost way to provide outdoor lighting. What’s not to love. It’s a known fact that well-lit homes are less likely to be broken into than non-lit homes, and this is a no brainer way to do it. Especially since most solar lighting, is made with LEDs. LEDs are durable, and last for such a long time. They afford bright, clear light as well. This is LifeStance’s newer, upgraded version. It has a longer battery life, and the light is much brighter. This solar light, on bright, has 300 lumens of light. That will really brighten our way. This particular light will come on at dusk and stay on in Dim mode. When it detects motion, it goes on High mode. It will stay on High for 10 seconds, according to my actual counting, and then it goes back to dim. On a full sun, all day charge, this light will run 12 hours, and will go off at dawn. If it gets put on high throughout the night, it won’t last as long. This light has an internal 18650 lithium, 2200mAH battery. It charges in full sun, so make sure you place it where it will get that. It will charge slowly on overcast days, it just won’t stay lit for nearly as long. This solar light is pretty nice looking. Some aren’t, so I am very happy with this one. It is also quite weatherproof, which is essential for outdoor lighting. This is a lightweight unit, made out of plastics, and metal. It also comes with the hardware for install, and easy directions to follow. There is an actual on/off switch on this light. Not all solar lights have this, which makes this light extremely user friendly. To test the light in home, just go into a hallway where it’s darker. This one has a real dusk setting. Some really need it to be dark to go on. This one doesn’t need such an extreme. This light has 6 LED chips in it now, compared to 4 in their older style. They state that the sensor can work from sensor length to 16-26 feet, and the distance can be affected by temperature. My home is on stilts, so I am higher up. My distance is off with the added height, but it is a very sensitive sensor. I like it a lot. Some I have to really wave at, to get it to pick me up. Not with this light. I am very happy with this product.
