Who recommends what
- Who recommends
- More than 500 independent opticians.
- What they recommend
- Serious Lights. What they say applies to Serious Readers across the range, not to one model.
- What it is not
- A reading light is not a treatment and it does not replace an eye test. Anything to do with your eyes is a question for your own optician.
Four of them put their names to it
“A lot of people do not understand the importance of good lighting. I can give my patients the best possible prescription, but unless the lighting is right, they won’t get the best vision possible. We have recommended Serious Readers for many years now. I’ve got them in every test room so that I can demonstrate them to the patients. Once I turn the light on, they can really see the difference.”
She is talking about showing the lights to her own patients in the test room.
“It’s well known that as you go from 20 to 60, you need three times more light. Unfortunately, most people don’t know that. If patients don’t take the best advantage of lighting, they won’t get the best image. It’s out of the box, on to the table and straight on to their book. The lighting is directed superbly on to the page.”
He is talking about how much light a person needs by 60, and where the beam lands once the light is set up.
“Without light, there is no vision. As your eye gets older, it is less efficient at processing light. Light from most standard lamps does not hit the page you’re looking at. We like Serious Lights because they’re very task specific, when you turn them on, you don’t get a flood of light everywhere and it’s very directional.”
She is talking about where the light goes when you switch it on.
“Serious Readers lights are well designed, simple to use, and provide accurate colour and detail representation.”
He is talking about the design of the lights, how simple they are to use, and how accurately they show colour and detail.
They recommend Serious Lights for clear print and true colour.
Debra Grant and Brian Tompkins both describe the light going on to what you are reading, rather than flooding the room, and Dr Keyur Patel points to its accurate colour and detail. Serious Lights do both, with the full spectrum of daylight and up to 12x more light on your page than a 60W bulb.
One light fits nobody
Your eyes are individual, and so is what you are trying to see. The light that suits you comes down to how close the work is, whether the light has to stand on the floor or sit on a table beside you, and how much you want to adjust the beam and the brightness.
