Why 90 days?
Your eyes need time to adjust. After years under poor light, your brain has learned to compensate. It can take up to 90 days to stop compensating and start relaxing into the extra clarity and comfort.
That is why the trial is 90 days on the Original and Pro, three times the industry standard. Live with it, read with it, and let your eyes settle into it. If it does not change the way you see, we collect it from your door.

Why do these lights feel different?
Reading by most lamps is harder than it needs to be. The light is thin, the colours flat, and your eyes carry the slack. Ours use Daylight Wavelength Technology™ to deliver a fuller, cleaner light. Small print looks clearer, colours look more natural, and your eyes do less work. You can read, sew, or work on detail for longer, without the tiredness that used to set in by evening.
Whichever you choose, you still get the things that matter
Standard in every HD Essential, HD Original and HD Pro.
Questions?
Straight answers.
I just want the best light. Which one should I get?
The HD Original. It uses the same light engine as the Pro, with an adjustable beam, a dimmer with memory, and a snooze timer. Unless you need cordless or a remote, the Original gives you the same light for less. 80% of Serious Light owners choose it.
What does the Pro give me that the Original does not?
The light on the page is identical to the Original, and so are the adjustable beam, the stepless dimmer, and the snooze timer. What the HD Pro adds is our newest body, built to take a rechargeable battery (6.5 hours per charge), a remote handset, and any future accessories we develop. If you do not need cordless, remote, or the modular body, the Original gives you the same light for less.
Will it help with sewing, puzzles, or close detail work?
Yes. The full-spectrum daylight makes colours sit truer and small detail easier to see, whether you are matching threads, working a crossword, or assembling something fiddly. The HD Original and HD Pro have an adjustable beam that narrows for fine detail or opens out for a full page.
What if I choose the wrong one?
Call us within your trial period and we will arrange a swap. You only pay the difference in price. We would rather you had the right light than any light. Call 0800 032 9366.
What if I do not get on with it at all?
That is what the home trial is for. You have 30 days with the Essential, or 90 days with the Original and Pro. If it is not right for you, call us and we will arrange collection from your door. Full refund, including delivery.
I have an eye condition. Will a Serious Light help me?
Our lights are not medical devices and cannot treat any eye condition. What they do is give your eyes the full-spectrum daylight they need to do less work. Many people living with AMD, cataracts, glaucoma or age-related vision change tell us that reading becomes easier again. Over 500 independent opticians recommend our lights to their patients. If you would like to talk it through, call 0800 032 9366.
Is it easy to set up?
The HD Original and Essential arrive fully built. The Pro assembles in under 30 seconds with no tools. The arm slots into the base by hand, you plug it in, and you are reading.
