Everything most of us need
-
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.
-
Light where it matters
This performance tool is engineered for one purpose: focussing in comfort. The beam is wide enough to cover a broadsheet, and precisely directed to keep all the light on your page.
A simple press-and-hold switch means you can set the precise brightness you need, without complication. If you suffer an eye condition or need light for a difficult specialist task upgrade to the HD Pro. It is brighter, has beam width control and is built to deliver the ultimate help for your eyes.

Built to last
Every High Definition Essential Light is hand-built in our Aylesbury workshop as a reliable tool to be used every day for years. In 2025 we have pre-built 5000 of these lights to bring the cost down which we are passing on to you.
The five-year guarantee remains the same. This saving is tied to these units. Only available while we have some left.
-
Nothing left to chance
This serious lighting tool works straight from the box. Your HD Essential arrives fully built by engineers. The industrial-grade flexible arm is guaranteed against drooping for life. Position it once; it stays there.
A gentle 'slow start' prevents the tiring sudden shock of bright light. Our unusual 36V system is fundamentally safer than mains voltage. The head is air-cooled and never gets hot to the touch.

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.
