Great Night Light and Low-Light Lamp
Research has shown that different colors of light affect the body in different ways. My own doctor recommends avoiding blue light after sunset because it can interfere with circadian rhythm and disrupt sleep hormones.Unfortunately, many modern light sources like cell phones, tablets, computers, and TVs emit a lot of blue light and many of us spend a good majority of time staring at these screens, especially in the evening.Salt lamps, on the other hand, offer a warm orange glow, similar to the orange hues found in a campfire or by candlelight. For this reason, they are a great light source for the evening and can even be used as a night light without negatively affecting sleep.

The lamp usually consists of a bulb which is not LED and has heating properties. Heat helps in effective functioning of the salt. Hence, the lamp does need to be switched on to work. The negative ions of the salt are released only when the lamp is on. The salt lamp also tends to ‘sweat’ if it is not switched on, and this may affect the salt lamp.
