The Aston Martin of reading lights

Remember when words just leapt off the page? Enjoy reading under the same light used to show off the fine brush strokes and colour hues in the Van Gogh and other museums. The best light we make and the one Alex uses himself.

Why?

You told us that a great reading light needs to help you see clearly, be personal to your eyes and be easy to adjust. This is the ultimate reading light, designed to offer high definition clarity and superb colour rendition. Whether you are using the light for reading, artwork, crafting, or any other hobby - the High Definition will really help.

Handy Features

Fine-tune the brightness with the integrated dimmer wheel, situated conveniently on the back of the light head. Easily adjust the beam direction using the built-in handle, or alter the light spread with the diffuser lens and flexible stayput arm.

Daylight Quality

The unique to Serious Readers halogen light engine offers a light output unparalleled by any other man-made source. Colours are rendered as they would be in true daylight, and maximum clarity means you will be able to see fine print and detail more clearly.

Lightweight Models

All the light but half the weight.  The lightweight base is designed with a contemporary chic look, and designed to be easier to move and bend. Perfect for limited spaces on the floor, the thin base also slips easily and neatly under low furniture. Ideal if you want to move the light around your home. The lightweight is still stable, offers a flat base and a is designed to have a less industrial look.

Heavyweight Models

The deliberately heavyweight base ensures your light is planted firmly on the floor.  Built to robust industrial standards, it plants itself firmly for single-hand operation. The base is deliberately weighty so that your light will be perfectly stable wherever it is positioned. A wooden carry handle is integrated into heavyweight floor models to ensure ease of movement for when you’d like to move your light around the home.

Black - The brass base metal is double-sprayed and double-baked to produce a durable matt black coating for the fully flexible stay-put arm. For a light that refuses to dominate the room, designed to blend and vanish into its surroundings, the all black finish is ideal. It is also the most popular finish.

Nickel - A 15-20 micron brushed nickel coating on the brass base metal gives a sharp, hi-tech brushed finish. The black base, handle and lamp head make for a stylish modern contrast. Perfect for your workspace and beautiful in a modern setting.

Brass - The 20-30 micron of zapon-treated brass on brass provides a long-lasting classic look, and the real wood mahogany-effect handles on the heavyweight floor model adds a final flourish, making this combination the perfect match for the more traditional spaces.

Carry Handles - A real wood carry handle adds a unique touch to our heavyweight floor lights. The black handle is usually paired with our black or nickel finishes. For a more traditional look and feel, our real wood mahogany-effect carry handle combines well with the brass arm finish.

Dimmer Option - The dimming function allows for your light to be finely adjusted to your specific needs. Turn down the light intensity when a softer light is required, then with one finger adjust it back up to full brightness when you need more light to get clarity. Dimming is standard on our High Definition lights and is taken up by the vast majority of Serious Readers suitable for bedside reading lights. The saving on Alex and Classic lights to de-specify the dimmer is £30.
