Crystal table lamps
Glass and acrylic crystal lamps have faceted bodies that sparkle in light, suiting drawing rooms, consoles and bedrooms. Glass is heavier and clearer, while acrylic is lighter and cheaper. Check stability and the quality of the facets.
Salt crystal lamps
Salt lamps are carved blocks of salt lit from inside, giving a soft amber glow. They are decorative and low in brightness, so do not rely on them as the main light. Claims about health benefits are not proven, so buy for the glow only.

Bulb and shade choice
Use warm white LED bulbs that show sparkle without heat, and shades in white, cream or sheer fabric. A clear or frosted shade controls glare. Check bulb base and wattage.
Rechargeable touch lamps
Rechargeable touch lamps change colour and brightness and suit bedrooms and loadshedding. Check battery life and that charging cables are included.
Genuine versus fake crystal
Lead crystal and glass feel heavy and cool and ring clearly, while plastic is light and warm. Check the weight, clarity and cut edges, and buy from reputable sellers. Salt lamps should be solid salt with a proper base and fire-safe wiring.
Care and safety
Dust gently and avoid moisture, especially for salt lamps which absorb water. Keep cords away from heat and use quality bulbs. Wiring and installation should be done by a qualified electrician, with power switched off at the breaker and the circuit rating checked first.
Before you decide
Decide between sparkle and glow, check weight and clarity and use warm LED bulbs. Compare at least two quotes on the same model and specification, check the wattage, lumens, colour temperature and warranty on the box, keep the invoice and test the product before paying in full. Ask the seller about the return policy for faulty items and whether spare parts or replacement bulbs are available, and photograph the packaging on delivery. Prices change with exchange rates and stock, so confirm the current figure before you decide, and be careful with very low prices on unbranded products with exaggerated wattage claims.
