What Makes a Good Reading Light?
(AD: This post is sponsored by Serious Readers, however, all opinions are my own)
Here’s everything that you need to look for when shopping for a new reading light this autumn and winter season.
When shopping for new pieces of furniture, it’s often very tempting to opt for the cheapest available option - I know because I’ve been there!
Although this can seem like an effective way to save money in the short term, it’s likely to result in purchasing items that are of poor quality and will not stand the test of time.
This means that you may find yourself repurchasing inadequate lamps, rugs, and other household items many times over the years, instead of one good quality item that lasts. While this usually requires spending more money initially on a higher price point item (although price is not the only indicator of quality), you can save money over a longer period of time.
As well as being bad for your bank balance, shopping this way also has a negative impact on the environment. The amount of energy and materials used to manufacture a revolving door of household items can be immense, and isn’t sustainable in the face of global warming. We can all do our part to combat climate change by investing in long lasting products for ourselves and our homes that don’t need to be continually replaced.
So, what should you be looking for?
Serious Readers are the market leader for high quality, long lasting lights that use cutting edge technology to enhance the reading experience. With customers in over 90 countries and spending 35 years in development, the brand has developed their exclusive Serious Daylight Wavelength Technology which is designed to mirror the intricacies of natural light.
This is illustrated by the image above, which shows an analysis of the light’s colour hues and their similarity to natural light.
As described on their website:
“Every light source has a spectrum, which is its mix of colours and wavelengths. These significantly impact what you are able to see. What sets a Serious Light apart is that it projects a light beam that closely mirrors the spectrum of natural daylight itself, offering a vastly superior experience compared to ordinary LEDs.
Our High Definition Lights use purple LEDs, a bespoke light engine, an adjustable beam and proprietary electronics to replicate the make-up of daylight.”
How does this impact the reading experience?
Reading with high quality light allows you to see more clearly and reduce eye strain. The beam and light strength are both adjustable, as is its fully flexible arm that allows you to easily adjust your light into your preferred position.
As these high definition lights also enhance colour visibility, this makes them ideal for completing jigsaw puzzles, crafting projects and other hobbies too.
