The result can be immediate and long lasting: words look crisp, colours stay true, and concentrating becomes comfortable again. HD Pro reading light in use "I was put off by the price for years.

Questions? Straight answers


My eyes are fine, which one should I pick for reading?
The Essential will serve you well. But honestly? Most people who try the HD Pro never look back. The extra power and control make a real difference.
When should I choose the HD Pro?
Whenever you want the best we can offer. More power. More control. The snooze function built in. A 90-day trial instead of 30. And you can add cordless freedom or remote control whenever you're ready. People with eye conditions often tell us the Pro changed everything for them.
Do both lights use the same Daylight Wavelength Technology™ Spectrum?
Yes, the same Daylight Wavelength Technology in both. The HD Pro delivers more of it, with far more control over how you use it.
Which is the brightest?
The HD Pro. Significantly brighter at full power. For many readers, that extra brightness makes all the difference.
Do both dim?
Yes. The Essential uses press-and-hold. The Pro has a proper tactile thumb-wheel with brightness indicators - you can feel exactly where you are and adjust with real precision.
What if I don't get on with it?
You get a 30-day home trial with the Essential, or a full 90 days with the HD Pro. If it's not right, swap for another model or we'll collect it for a full refund, including shipping costs.
What is the warranty length?
Both of the lights themselves come with a full 5-year warranty, which includes the 'bulb' on the HD Pro. The HD Essential bulb has a 3-year guarantee.
