À propos de l'entreprise
À propos de Serious Readers
Écrit par l'entreprise
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
Écrit par l'entreprise
- 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.

Making light of buying a floor lamp online
Excellent service all round. The website was easy to navigate. There were useful and timely updates by email from both the seller and the carrier (DHL). The floor lamp was delivered within a couple of days. It was well packaged and in use in minutes. No assembly required. Reading is much easier now.

I already have a Serious reader table…
I already have a Serious reader table lamp which I use to read in bed, I am very happy with it so decided to order another for my study. Customer service was very prompt to answer my pre order query, delivery was very swift.
My one complaint is that there base is not truly flat and so wobbles slightly when touched.

The package arrived as expected.
The package arrived as expected.
It was very well packed and presented.
We particularly liked the individual draw stringed pouches that added a sense of quality.
They are useful.
The table lamp is stylish and works as advertised.
The 4 hr battery life is more than sufficient but can be used as a corded unit - a win win.
The light quality is comparable with the Alice units we’ve had for a few years.

Excellent Experience.
It was excellent being able to ring up and speak to real person immediately. Customer service is exemplary with good advice and help. Delivery of the impressively well-packed parcel was swift and efficient.
And the lamp itself is brilliant in oh so many ways!

Well made
The floor standing lamp arrived in a beautfully packed environmentally sound multi cardboard boxed transit case.
The lamp was a sustantially built item whicj stood perfectly perpendicularly on its heavy base, with a "swan neck" of similar high quality.
Afjustment of the lamp head was easy and the qualty and controlabilty of the light made reading and close work a pleasure.

Serious Readers light
Serious Readers light was recommended to me by friends & their recommendation has proven to be correct. A fast & efficient service & an excellent product.
(I'm also very impressed with the packaging in which it was delivered - very good).
Thank you to all concerned
