Image 1: What it looks like right now

Image 2: The bag of rocks

Image 3: The box indicating what it ideally should look like

The instructions are sparse and barely understandable (made in Pakistan) and there are shitloads of fire safety hazard things, so I don't want to fuck anything up and start a fire.

Is it really as simple as just dumping some salt rocks in there and plugging it in? What about the loads of white salt and small chunks that are already in there?

Help

Lol

It wasn't for me specifically though, it was a white elephant game. I grabbed it because it looked like it could be cool.

It's like what they do for deer. Whenever you walk in the room just go lick it for a little while.

Gently put the salt in around the bulb as not to break it and plug it in.

In theory it's supposed to be "good" for you because the heat from the lamp evaporates the salt into the air over time. It's for your chi bro

Edit: I have one. Well I did. It's in my dad's attic

What about the white chunks that are already in there though? (image 1)

Should I dump those out?

Dump them or dont they are just small bits of salt most likely. They shouldnt effect anything.

Looks like you just pile the rocks around the bulb and plug it in. The heat from the bulb is absorbed through the rocks, which then act as an ionizer to reduce allergens in the air.

I have a salt crystal lamp, but it's just a huge chunk of salt rock that you plug in.

Don't set the lamp on anything flammable.
Is that an actual incandescent bulb?

It's a flashlight bulb you are fine. If it catches fire sue the company.
