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.

Call 0800 032 9366, Monday to Friday, 8.30am to 5.30pm, or email hotline@seriousreaders.com.

Why people choose a Serious Light

Vom Unternehmen geschrieben

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 light

Great light which sits perfectly under back of sofa giving light above seat. As there is no socket close by the fact that it is cordless is perfect. I can predict I will be getting another one for using my sewing machine.

Fantastic product, impeccable service

Absolutely incredible customer service from Helen, one of their Customer Service Advisors; the whole process was so genuine and pleasant. To be honest, I've never experienced better Customer Service in my entire life! The lights themselves really are uniquely high-quality. Previously I would always get slightly uncomfortable and strained reading at night, I'd get fidgety and could never settle to read for long because my eyes got so fatigued. Now I turn on the lamp and open my book and don't even realise until an hour later that I've just been reading the whole time. Truly wonderful! The dimmer functionality is also incredible if you can be a bit sensitive to light — you can start low, and then once you settle in, turn it up. Life-changing!!

Hi Nicole. Thanks for sharing. We really appreciate you sharing your experience. Many people find it hard to believe that better light can make such a big difference and I hope your words will encourage one or two of them to try one and see the difference for themselves. Thanks again. Alex (Pratt) Founder

Everything done with thought and care

Prompt delivery - not entirely in a company's control, but they have to have done their bit right to achieve it. Very nicely and helpfully packaged product, best job I have ever seen of this. Product easy to use and instructions clear. So far, so good with its performance and usability. I haven't yet put it to the test with cross-stitch but I think it's going to just what I needed.

Thanks John and thanks for noticing that you get what you pay for. We are here for those who want and value the best light they can find and use day in day out. Others offer low prices and inevitably choose to compromise on the product to hit a lower cost. There is a place for that but its not what we do. All the best Alex (Pratt) Founder

Hi. I know that Jade has been in touch to find out how we conspired together to get you the wrong bulb. It seems that somehow you managed to order the wrong one online, which we then sent. Don't worry, mistakes happen so we've sent you the bulb you were trying to order at our cost. All's well that ends well. All the best Alex (Pratt) Founder

The customer service where I spoke to a real person rather than engage with some web based chat bot was first class. Having previously bought products from Serious Readers I had no worries as to the quality and when my Roam light arrived I was and am delighted. So much easier to take the light where I need it without struggling to plug it in

Serious readers was recommended by my local optician.

Serious readers was recommended by my local optician. I found the website easy to navigate and the ordering process very straightforward. My order was confirmed and tracking began. I was notified the morning my item was to be delivered and it arrived as stated. My item arrived two days after it was ordered which was fantastic.
Unpacking the item was very straightforward with step by step instructions. The lamp was ordered for an elderly friend who loves to read. She is now able to see the text more clearly and can now read for longer periods at a time.
The item itself is very sturdy with it's heavy base. Being able to adjust the direction, brightness and width of the beam allows it to be adjusted to suit it's user which is perfect.
The only negative point I have is that the delivery driver left the lamp which comes ready assembled and therefore in quite a large box just inside my gate on a day when heavy rain was forecast. Whilst I appreciate Serious Readers has little control once the item is handed over to their courier. I would imagine most of it's customers are elderly so a door step delivery should be a priority.

Quality without strain.

I am very impressed with the lights I have purchased and the detail gone into them which includes how well they are packed plus precise instructions I.e. no stone unturned. These lights are a revelation and have allowed me to read much faster because of the clarity they give.
I don't know how I managed with my table light for so long. I only use my HD light for reading, writing and tedious work like threading a needle because of the concentrated light. The other lights are for general lighting only. Very pleased indeed.

Chris.

When I contacted Serious Readers about…a problem with my broken plug.

When I contacted Serious Readers about my problem (one of the prongs on a plug had snapped off.....after 12 years...first problem at all), their reply via email was very swift and helpful. The problem was acknowledged, and the solution was pointed to. I followed the advice, purchased the part, which was all very easy...even for me! The part came speedily by post, and the problem was solved.
A great customer service for a product that is second to none,

Thanks, Serious Readers.
