Question

True or false using salt lamp can be hazardous

Answer 1

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Salt Lamps are notorious for “dissolving” during humid weather when not in operation. The salty “electrolyte” is a conductive medium and when it leaks onto the 240 Volt parts (the lampholder) a dangerous situation can occur

Answer 2

Answer:

False

Explanation:

For the most part they are perfectly safe however this article is intentionally going to look at the worst case scenarios so don't be off put by the doom and gloom tone, but do have fun reading as we spell out what could potentially make a salt lamp 'dangerous'.
