Informasjon om virksomheten
Om Serious Readers
Skrevet av virksomheten
Serious Lights for Serious Readers. Daylight reading lights for people who want to see detail and colour without straining to see.
Reading gets harder in the evening, and most people put that down to their eyes. Often it is the light. An ordinary bulb or LED is built on a blue chip, so it looks white while leaving gaps across the spectrum, and your eyes work to fill them in. You get glare across the room while the small print stays hard work. Daylight has no gaps in it, which is why reading by a window on a clear morning is easy.
What a Serious Light does
Rebuilding daylight indoors is the only thing we have done for forty years. Daylight Wavelength Technology™ reaches 98 per cent colour accuracy across the full spectrum, and an HD Original puts up to 7,200 lux on your page at 50cm, which is about twelve times the light you get from an ordinary 60 watt bulb at the same distance. The beam adjusts from a paperback to a full broadsheet, and the dimmer remembers the setting you read by.
The range
We make floor lamps, table lamps and wall-mounted reading lights, in Black and Heritage White. The HD Pro is the most adjustable, with a flexible arm, a remote handset and a cordless option. The HD Original is the one most people choose. The HD Essential is the simplest mains light we make. The HD Mini and the HD ROAM are cordless and portable, for reading nowhere near a socket. The HD Original and HD Essential are hand-built in Aylesbury, around fifty a day.
What people read by them
Books and newspapers, the crossword, the small print on a medicine bottle, sheet music, a jigsaw spread across the dining table, needlework and sewing, model making, and the paperwork nobody enjoys. Anything where the difference between two colours matters, or where the type is smaller than it used to be printed.
If your eyes need more light than they used to
More than 500 independent opticians recommend our lights, and many owners come to us living with macular degeneration, cataracts or glaucoma. For many people, more light of the right kind makes a page easier to see. A reading light does not treat an eye condition, and we do not suggest otherwise. There is growing evidence on the wider effects of the kind of light you read by, which we set out on our research pages rather than in our selling.
Trying one at home
The HD Pro and HD Original come with up to 90 days to try at home, and the rest of the range with 30. If it is not for you, send it back free, and on the mains floor and table lights we collect from any UK mainland address. The HD Pro, HD Original and HD Essential carry a 5-year warranty, and the HD Mini and HD ROAM carry one year.

Why people choose a Serious Light
Skrevet av virksomheten
- A brighter bulb does not do the same job
- An ordinary bulb scores 40 out of 100 on deep red. Ours scores 92, which is why colours and small print look different under it.
- We have made nothing else for forty years
- Alex Pratt built the first one for his mum, whose sight was failing. There are now over a million in 93 countries.
- Up to ninety days to change your mind
- Try it at home and see the difference for yourself. If it is not for you, send it back free.
A guarantee backed by forty years
5-year warranty, 90-day trial
Five years on the HD Pro, HD Original and HD Essential, one year on the cordless lights, and up to 90 days to send one back free.

Good online service and great lamps
Good online service and great lamps, able to get replacement bulbs, also purchased another lamp as so happy with the first one I bought years ago.
Lamps perfect for jewellery work, sewing and paperwork, especially on darker winter days and evenings.

The colleague on the phone was friendly and helpful. He dealt with my order for replacement bulbs very efficiently which then arrived well wrapped and in good time. I love my Serious lights ( l have 5 around the house) so to be able to get replacement bulbs that quickly is great. Thank you Serious lights you are helping me continue to see to read even with my failing eyesight as l get older.

Such a pleasure to deal with this company's staff
My floor lamp which I've had for 14 years had started to flicker, despite a new bulb. I emailed the company, received a phone call within a couple of hours explaining their repair service and everything happened when I was told it would - collection and return once the lamp had been repaired, and a year's guarantee. Cannot fault either the service or the amazingly helpful and friendly staff.

Brilliant Customer Service
Before I ordered a replacement bulb for my Alexa light, I needed to recall exactly when I purchased it - which I couldn’t remember and had mislaid the invoice. I messaged Serious Readers to ask if they could possibly trace the date for me. I received an immediate acknowledgement, then the next day had a satisfactory answer to my query and I was able to place an order for the correct bulb. So thank you, and full marks, to Customer Service - very impressive!
