Sobre Serious Readers

Escrito pela empresa

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

Escrito pela empresa

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.

Fantastic Company

A heartfelt thank you to Helen and Jade for making sure the lights reached us in India. They were incredibly helpful and kept following up with the Indian authorities—a process that could drive anyone mad! Their kindness and patience meant a great deal to us.
My husband is 89 and a journalist and writer, so he reads and writes a great deal. I’ve set up the lights, and they’ve already made a big difference to his reading. Their portability is especially useful, and we were delighted that they came with an Indian plug—such a thoughtful touch.
Thank you both for going above and beyond. Would have no hesitation in recommending this company.

A quality product that transforms your reading

Everything about this product screams quality - from its design and operation to the packaging it came in and even the paperwork that accompanied it. Importantly, it performs exactly as Serious Brands claim it does - bringing a new level of clarity to our reading. It’s not cheap, but worth every penny.

Just what I needed!

The reading lamp is exactly what I need - I love it! In fact we have bought two more for our middle aged children who are starting to use reading glasses. The parcels arrived speedily, the lamps beautifully packed: altogether a great product and great service. Thank you

Hi Chris. Thanks for sharing. Some cant imagine that doing something as basic as shedding better light could make such a difference. You experience might encourage others to give it a try. Thanks again. Alex (Pratt) Founder

Great service ..

Great service ... the floor standing light arrived promptly. We already have other lights but this one is definitely the best yet. Easy to set up and with simple to use controls.

Quality Product

This is a solid, properly constructed quality product. It gives a superb, clear light and meets the promises advertised. Costs a bit mind you, even at sale price, but it's nothing like the cheap, Chinese-made tat you see everywhere else. Should last a lifetime. Being 'British made' is a bonus for me - and for the British economy!

Table lamp purchase.

My table lamp was exactly described and arrived within a few days very well packaged. I had no problem with the product it was my choice that was wrong as it was just too big for my small bedroom. I rang the next day and explained this and was put under no pressure and the lamp was picked up from my home the next day. The credit was in my bank account well within the 5 working days. I already have a standard floor lamp from Serious Readers and would not hesitate to recommend and use the company again. Thank you.

Hi Gill. The risk free trial is here for that exact reason. Not everybody is blown away and some find the model they have chosen needs changing to fit a space. Approximately 99 in every 100 people who try one keep it, but its ok to be in the minority. Thanks for trying it. All the best. Alex (Pratt) Founder
