High Performance Reading Lights for Magazines.

Magazines often have glossy, colourful pages so a dimmer function to adjust the light is essential. A great reading light for magazines will project a powerful beam with a wide enough beam to cover the whole double page spread.


Why Choose a Serious Reading Light for Magazines?

  • Regain the joy of reading in comfort Regain the joy of reading in comfort Regain the joy of reading in comfort

    A Serious Light will:

    Maximise your ability to see detail and colours, employing specialist Daylight Wavelength Technology™.

    Minimise the risk of damage to your eyes, eradicating the harmful blue-light spike commonly found in standard LEDs.

    Optimise your posture and well-being by stopping you subconsciously straining when you are struggling to see clearly.

  • Your sight is our focus Your sight is our focus Your sight is our focus

    Your sight is our focus

    We believe light transforms sight. Since inventing the first Serious Light 35 years ago, for his mum who was struggling to see, our founder Alex has been pioneering research into sight and light.

    Our sole focus is building high performance floor lights for reading to project superior light that helps you see and feel better when reading magazines.

    Serious Lights for reading are recommended by over 500 independent opticians, and used by over 250,000 light owners in over 63 countries.

    Nothing to lose...

    As everyone’s eyesight is unique, we pride ourselves on offering a 30 day risk-free trial, allowing you to test your Serious Light in your own home. If for any reason you find the light unsuitable, we will collect the light at our cost (UK mainland only) and fully refund you.

    However, 99% of people who decide to try a Serious Light end up keeping it. Thousands of Serious Light owners relax and read their magazines under the powerful beam of their light.

    We particularly recommend the High Definition or Alex Varifocus lights for reading magazines as they both project natural light beams, and offer the ability to adjust the spread of light to suit the reading material.

Customer Reviews

  • 5 stars

    The light is good quality, looks good, and shows the colour photographs in magazines off wonderfully.

    Mr Parr, Bristol

  • 5 stars

    I have it behind my chair, and light falls directly on the magazine, and what a joy it is to read again. I'd quite forgotten.

    With my Alex LED I can read small print that I was previously unable to make out.
