See More Clearly, for Longer

High Definition Original Table Light

  • High Definition Light

    What you will notice first

    The page looks different. Not brighter in the way a stronger bulb is brighter. Clearer. The small print on a medicine bottle becomes legible. The words sit still on the page instead of swimming. Reds look red again, not brownish. You read for longer without realising.

    Most lamps leave gaps in the light your eyes actually need. The HD Original uses our proprietary Daylight Wavelength Technology™ to put back what ordinary lamps leave out. Our lights have found their way into operating theatres, the Van Gogh Museum, and the British Museum. If your optician has mentioned Serious Readers, this is the light they mean.

  • Best Floor Reading Light

    The light adjusts to you

    A crossword and a broadsheet need very different light. Threading a needle or following a recipe need something else again. One twist of the front ring and the beam matches whatever is in front of you. Set the brightness to where your eyes are comfortable and the light remembers it for next time.

    Redirect it with one hand without losing your place. The arm holds any angle and will not droop. That is guaranteed for life.

    Why it costs what it costs

    Every HD Original is hand-built in our Aylesbury workshop by the same team who have been doing this for over twenty years. We can only make around 50 a day. The arm is aerospace-grade flexible tubing, guaranteed for life. Slow-start circuitry brings the light up gently and the snooze timer fades it down when you fall asleep. Nothing is left to chance.

    The specialist components in a single HD Original cost more to manufacture than many entire lamps sell for. That is where the price goes.

    90 days to see for yourself

    Most people notice the difference instantly. But we give you 90 days, not 14, because the real change is what happens over weeks as your eyes stop compensating for what ordinary lamps left out.

    If it is not right for you, call us on 0800 032 9366. We collect it from your door and refund you in full.

    99.4% of people who try one keep it for the difference it makes.

Not a better bulb. A different technology.

The HD Original is built around our proprietary Daylight Wavelength Technology™. It is not a modification of an existing LED. It is a different approach to light itself, engineered from the ground up to restore the full visible spectrum your eyes were designed for. Watch it up close in 55 seconds.

How the Controls Work

Every control sits on the head, where your hand rests naturally.

Shape the beam: A single smooth turn of the front ring takes you from fine print to a full broadsheet.

Set the brightness: The thumbwheel finds the exact level your eyes need, and the light remembers it every time you switch on.

Redirect: Move the light head with one hand without looking up from your book. The arm holds any angle you choose, will not drift, and is guaranteed for life.

Snooze: The light fades gradually and turns itself off, so if you fall asleep reading it takes care of itself.


Inside the light engine

A standard LED uses a blue chip that cannot reproduce the full visible spectrum. The wavelengths your eyes rely on most for reading are simply not there, so your brain fills in what is missing. That effort is one of the reasons reading feels harder by evening.

The HD Original uses a purple chip that reconstructs every wavelength of natural daylight. On the standard measure of colour rendering, where sunlight scores 100, the HD Original scores 98. A typical household LED rarely gets above 80.

Precision-ground lenses focus the light onto your reading rather than around the room, and constant-current drivers eliminate the invisible flicker that most LEDs produce and your eyes quietly respond to.


Choose your base

Base Options

Heavyweight: stays where you put it

  • Height71cm (28")
  • Weight4.5kg (??lbs)
  • Base Diameter20cm (8")

Set it on the table beside your reading chair and it stays there. The weight keeps it planted while you adjust the arm, so it does not shift or wobble even on a small surface. Most popular.


Lightweight: moves with you

  • Height68cm (27")
  • Weight2.2kg (??bs)
  • Base Diameter18cm (7")

Beside the sofa in the evening, on your desk in the morning. Small enough to fit wherever there is a surface and light enough to move with one hand. The same light and the same technology with a smaller footprint.


Choose your finish

Black

Matte black from head to base with a matching black arm. The kind of finish that fits any room without drawing attention to itself.

Heritage White

Soft off-white for the head and base with a contrasting nickel arm. Lighter and warmer, and the nickel catches the light in a way that feels considered rather than accidental.

  • Alex Black Option Black body finish with black flexible arm
  • Alex White Option Heritage white body finish with nickel flexible arm


Still have questions?

These are the questions most people ask before they order.



  • Is it a lot of money for a lamp?

    It is. That is why you have 90 days to try it before you commit. Most people who hesitated say the same thing: I wish I had done it sooner.

  • What if it does not work for me?

    Call us, live chat or email us and we will arrange collection from your door. Repack it in the original box, and we will do the rest. A full refund with no quibbling.

  • Why is it better than the lamp I already have?

    If you have tried brighter bulbs before and been disappointed, that makes sense. This is not a brighter bulb. It is a different kind of light entirely, and most people see the difference within the first few minutes.
