Treat your eyes
The initial decision to try a Serious Reading Light is usually based on a lack of clarity and the frustrating symptoms of eyestrain.
Here are a few of the main reasons people decide to try a Serious Reading Light.
Regain the joy of reading
Serious Reading Lights take the strain out of reading and writing by projecting a natural, balanced bright light beam onto the page.
Return to loved hobbies
Serious Reading Lights are exceptionally accurate at rendering colours, many owners use their lights for needlework, artwork and more.
Relieve the effects of eyestrain
Our bespoke technology sheds a natural, balanced and controllable light source allowing you to adjust the light to suit your eyes.

Struggling to see?
Light can have a massive impact on our lives. The wrong kind of light can affect our sleeping patterns, aggravate existing health conditions and negatively affect our wellbeing.
Below are four of the most common issues facing our eyes today.
Our Eyes Crave Daylight
Our eyes have evolved over millions of years under natural light, but we are spending longer and longer indoors under artificial light which is not what our eyes expect and need.
Serious Reading Lights are built to bring daylight indoors.
Blue Light and Eyestrain
An eyestrain epidemic stemming from poor artificial light sources and blue light from digital screens is developing but a light as close to daylight can mitigate these effects.
Serious Reading Lights are as close to daylight as is technically possible.
Eye Conditions
While a light can't reverse the effects of eye conditions, shining a natural light on to the point of focus can mitigate the symptoms of eye conditions and help you to enjoy reading.
Serious Reading Lights achieve clarity by projecting strong, natural light.
Inferior Lighting
Many homes are fitted with poor lighting solutions that look pretty, but do not support our eyesight. The brightness levels, beam width and position cannot be adjusted to meet our needs.
Serious Reading Lights can be customised to the needs of the individual.
High Definition Reading Lights
Remember when words just leapt off the page? Enjoy reading under the same light used to show off the artist's colour palette and brush strokes in the Van Gogh Museum to bring out fine detail.
Daylight Wavelength TechnologyTM
Using bespoke technology, the High Definition Light is as technically close to daylight as possible.
Up To 12x More Light on Your Page
By comparison with a traditional 60W filament bulb, the High Definition Reading Light throws up to 12x more light on to your page.
Accurate Colour Rendering
The High Definition Light projects a CRI of 99, making it the best reading light in our range for seeing colours in their true light.
