I can definitely read more comfortably for longer, which is amazing not just for me in my spare time, but it’s great for my work life too. I couldn’t recommend them highly enough!

The lights really do make a big difference. For work that requires detail and concentration, they are the perfect solution. I'm looking to acquire some more for my workshop.

Daylight Indoors
Vivid Clarity
© 2023 Copyright Serious Readers - All Rights Reserved
If you've experienced the cold, harsh glare of an artificial lamp, you'll know that nothing beats natural light when it comes to reading. This is why we use Daylight Wavelength Technology™ in our High Definition Lights to replicate the spectrum of natural light. It scores 99/100 on colour matching, which is as close to daylight as is technically possible.
We realise that a Serious Light is a considered purchase. We build lights to transform lives, not to cut costs or to simply look good.
The High Definition Light is the culmination of everything we have learned in 35 years about how to light a task. Every detail has been designed to enhance your reading experience.
For your reading comfort, the High Definition Light can be supplied in different formats. Choose from the floor, table, or wall model.
See colours
come alive.
You might've noticed that it's very challenging to read small print under artificial light. The High Definition Light uses Daylight Wavelength Technology™ to help you see even the tiniest variation in shades and hues with exceptional accuracy.
Light, your way.
The light output can be easily adjusted to suit your eyes and the ambient conditions using the dimmer wheel on the back of the light head.
Hassle-free adjustment.
The precision swivel joint on the light head makes fine adjustments a cinch. Easily control the operation of your light with the grab handle.
Personal control.
No more moving around to position your book under the beam of light. Enjoy precision control with the beam adjustment wheel on the front of the light head.
Flexible and stable.
The strong, fully flexible arm sits at the core of the High Definition Light. It is manufactured in Germany to our exacting standards and guaranteed for life.
Plug and play.
Your light will arrive fully built by lighting engineers with everything you need. Simply unpack your light, plug it in and enjoy getting stuck into a good book.
Every detail considered.
Every detail has been intricately designed to enhance your reading experience, no matter how big or small - from brightness indicators to vents on the back of the light head.

Enhance your reading comfort
Our mission is simple.
Most lights are built with either the look, or a low cost in mind. What we focus on is your ability to see, and the impact of the light on your vision.
Since making a reading light over 35 years ago for my mum who suffered with an eye condition, it has been my sole aim to combat eyestrain and fatigue by providing your eyes with simulated daylight indoors.
We realise that a Serious Light is a considered purchase. We build lights to transform lives, not to cut costs or to simply look good.
