You definitely can but its not food-grade so perhaps take that into account.

    Since this is "no stupid questions", I will follow up with a question and demand that you not call me stupid: what about the lamp makes it "not food grade"? I assume that both salts are just NaCl, so do salt manufacturers put the salt through some process to remove dangerous contaminants or something?

    Simply the fact that there's no restriction on how they handle it. They can coat it in something that keeps it from dissolving in humid environments, they can store it among other products that could harm you they don't have to follow any of the steps required to keep something pure, things like that. Although it's sourced from the exact same location as himalayan salt for cooking, it's path to you is vastly different(and less expensive to the manufacturer).
