What if the problem is not your eyes?

It could be your light

You may have tried a brighter bulb and found the words looked whiter, not clearer. That is because ordinary LEDs leave gaps in the light your eyes depend on. More wattage does not fill them.

A Serious Table Light fills those gaps. It sits beside you and rebuilds the full spectrum of natural daylight onto whatever is in front of you. 98% of the visible spectrum, measured.

For many readers, including those living with AMD, cataracts or glaucoma, the strain that used to build through the evening simply stops.

Why opticians recommend it

Your ceiling light was never designed for close work. It scatters light across the room and leaves shadows exactly where you are trying to read. A task light solves that by placing full-spectrum daylight precisely where your eyes need it.

More than 500 independent opticians recommend ours. They know what better light does for their patients. If your optician has mentioned Serious Readers, this is the light they mean.

HD Original table light

Which table light is right for you?

80% of customers choose the HD Original. Same light engine as the Pro, with an adjustable beam and a dimmer that remembers your setting. For £50 more than the Essential, it does everything most readers need.

The HD Pro adds cordless and remote options. It is the same light with more freedom.

The HD Essential keeps it simple. Wide beam, press-and-hold dimming, and the same core technology.

Most readers find the Original is the right choice.

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.
