That familiar frustration may not be your age. It could be a failure of your light. Ordinary lamps project a fractured spectrum, starving your eyes of the information they need to see clearly.

The first Serious Light was built for my mum.
Her ordinary lamp created glare, and she had given up on her passion for reading. I built her a light that solved the problem.
"She finished a chapter that night."
Forty years on, that single purpose means we're now trusted by eye care professionals and readers across 97 countries.

Stop straining. Start seeing.
Ordinary bulbs emit a fractured spectrum with missing wavelengths. Your eyes strain to fill in the gaps, causing fatigue. Our Daylight Wavelength Technology restores those missing colours, so text appears sharper and your eyes work less.
