It features simpler controls, a fixed beam, and a 30-day home trial. Floor and table designs in black or Heritage White.

Read for hours without strain
That familiar ache behind the eyes is often not a sign of age, but instead a sign of poor light. Ordinary lamps project a fractured, incomplete spectrum, forcing your eyes to fight for information that simply isn't there.
Our Daylight Wavelength Technology™, at the heart of every HD Essential, rebuilds the full, balanced spectrum of natural daylight. Black text becomes crisp again. Your eyes can finally relax and focus. The result is hours of comfortable reading, without the usual ache.

Who the Essential is for
The HD Essential is for readers who want the daylight spectrum without the extra controls. If you already own an HD Original and want the same technology for another room, this is the light for that.
If you are looking for your first Serious Light and want to start at a lower price, this is where to begin. The controls are simple, the beam is fixed, and the full-spectrum light does its job without asking anything of you.

Most owners choose the HD Original
Eight out of ten Serious Light owners choose the HD Original over the Essential. For just £50 more, it lets you shape the beam to whatever you are reading, remembers your preferred brightness, and fades the light gently when you fall asleep. The trial is 90 days instead of 30, and the bulb guarantee is 5 years instead of 3.
The HD Essential is a proper reading light, not a compromise. But if you are not yet sure which is right for you, the Original is where most people start, and where most people stay.

Customer Reviews

In operation, the best compliment I can pay my HD Essential Light is that I forget it's on. It's like reading in intense daylight, but without any glare or stray reflections - fantastic!

I am very pleased with the HD Essential Light. It is very easy to direct to just the right area and it has made a great improvement to my enjoyment of reading of all kinds.
