A friend of mine had one and the bulb eventually burnt out and he delayed in replacing it. Eventually the steamy, swampy summer came along and without a bulb providing heat, hey presto! salt did what salt does. One day he notices that the lamp is sitting in a puddle of salt water stewing in its own juices. The salt corroded all the wiring and socket and so forth, also warping the wooden base. I took it home thinking I'd rehab it as a evening project and it's been in my basement for a year.

I like them for the quality of the light, I make my own negative ions.
