My light has opened up so much more sewing time for me. Gone are the dark nights where I would have to close my sewing room door due to poor lighting. Now I can sew just as easily as I can during the day. It's an absolute game changer!

I have been using my High Definition Serious Light for almost a year now and it has become an integral part of my sewing room. I can see colours and tiny stitches so clearly and it makes the whole process really enjoyable.

Daylight Indoors
Vivid Clarity

If you've experienced the cold, harsh glare of an artificial lamp, you'll know that nothing beats natural light when it comes to paper crafting. 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.
98 in every 100 people who try a Serious Light decide to keep it, because a great light has the power to transform your life. Invest in your passion with a life-changing tool.
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 paper crafting 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.
If you're a keen crafter, you'll know how hard it is to match colours accurately 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.
Craft better, see better.
Fine-tune your crafting experience with the adjustable dimmer wheel on the light head, creating perfect illumination for your creative environment.
Seamless crafting solution.
With its precision swivel joint and grab handle, fine-tuning the position of your light is a breeze - allowing you to glue, fold and create with maximum accuracy!
Detail enhancement.
Illuminate your next découpage or quilling project with minimal effort. With the beam adjustment wheel, you can now easily achieve accurate pinpointed lighting.
Fold with flexibility.
Folding with accuracy is now easier than ever; the strong, fully flexible arm lets you direct the light beam precisely to each and every crease.
Unleash your creativity.
Your light will arrive fully built by lighting engineers with everything you need. Simply unpack your light, plug it in and dive into your next project.
Designed with care.
We've worked with hobbyists to design the perfect light for crafters. No matter how big or small, every detail was carefully considered to enhance your creative spark.

Enhance your reading comfort
Our mission is simple.
Most lights are built with either the look, or a low cost in mind. However, what we focus on is your ability to see, and the impact of the light on your vision.
I developed the first Serious Light for my mum over 35 years ago. From there, I designed the first light for Singer sewing machines. Since then, I’ve been pushed onward by the desire to build a better light to enhance performance and provide 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.
Alex Pratt OBE | Founder
"We have recommended Serious Lights for many years now. Once we turn the lights on, patients can really see the difference instantly.
A lot of people don't understand how important light is. I can provide the best possible prescription, but unless the lighting is right, they won't get the best vision possible."
Tracey Taylor | Taylor Biddle Opticians
"The most important thing to us is that you love your light. If you don't, we will collect it at our cost and fully refund you. We're here to help."
