Über Serious Readers
Vom Unternehmen geschrieben
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.
Who we are
Serious Readers is the reading light brand of Serious Brands Limited, in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire. There are over a million Serious Lights in 93 countries, in homes and in places where seeing clearly is the job, including the British Museum, operating theatres and Heathrow. 99% of people who try one keep it for the difference it makes.

Why people choose a Serious Light

- 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.

Great. Our bulbs are specific to us and made in small quantities so they do cost more than the big volume basic stuff. All's well that ends well. Thanks for sharing. Alex (Pratt) Founder
Prompt and helpful service
Very helpful adviser re this replacement spare bulb if needed.

Hi Derek. Thanks for sharing. I'm glad we managed to help. The advantage of a replacement lamp in the design is they can be replaced if they fail or if the technology improves as it has done consistently for the past decade. Onwards and upwards. Alex (Pratt) Founder
Replaced wall-mounted plug-in Essential reading lamp
Needed to replace a wall-mounted reading light. Happy with everything EXCEPT Serious Readers keep changing the drilled holes on various models required for mounting, so we have lots of holes either side of the new fitting that I need to fill in. The light itself it great.

Antwort von Serious Readers
Hi Michael. Things move on as technology changes. That said, we've only ever had 3 wall mounting designs in 40 years so I'm not sure we 'keep changing' the drilled holes. We've had around 25 iterations of our technology in the same period. I designed the newest of the brackets to look less industrial and to reduce the need for the third hole to be drilled, both as benefits for the customer. I hope you like the newer of the designs. All the best Alex (Pratt) Founder
DHL's tracking is hopeless
DHL's tracking is hopeless. So when it said that the package should have been delivered hours ago, I contacted Customer Services and the lady there spent ages liaising with DHL - the parcel arrived the next day. The product itself (floor standing HD light) does exactly as expected. The sale discount was also very acceptable.

Good online service and great lamps, able to get replacement bulbs, also purchased another lamp as so happy with the first one I bought years ago.
