What if the problem is not your eyes?

It could be your light

By age 60, the lens in your eye lets in roughly a third of the light it used to. A brighter bulb from the ceiling just adds glare.

A Serious Floor Light stands behind your chair and delivers the quality of light your eyes actually need. Ordinary LEDs leave gaps in the spectrum.

Daylight Wavelength Technology™ fills them, delivering 98% of the visible spectrum. For many readers, including those living with AMD, cataracts or glaucoma, the fatigue that crept in by evening simply does not come.

A difference your optician already trusts

Most eye strain comes from the subconscious fight against shadows and glare from poor overhead lighting. A floor reading light is the logical answer: a controlled, precise pool of full-spectrum daylight placed exactly where you need it.

This is why more than 500 independent opticians recommend our lights. It is a difference they see in their patients. If your optician has mentioned Serious Readers, this is the light they mean.

Which floor light is right for you?

The HD Original is the choice 80% of customers make. Same light engine as the Pro, adjustable beam, stepless dimmer with memory. For £50 more than the Essential, it adapts to how you read.

The HD Pro adds cordless and remote options to the same light engine for those who want to go cable-free.

The HD Essential is simpler. Wide beam, press-and-hold dimming, same core spectrum.

Most readers find the Original gives them everything they need.

Customer Reviews

5 star rating
I bought my second lamp a week later for my husband. We both wish we’d bought one sooner. They’re worth the money.
Mrs Speechley | Droitwich
5 star rating
The light makes normal print ultra-clear and helps me read very small or coloured print I couldn’t read before.
Dr Roper | East Sussex
5 star rating
I can give patients the best prescription, but unless the lighting is right, they won’t get the best vision. Once I turn the light on, they see the difference.
