At Serious Readers we understand that the creative mind requires many factors to function properly.
   Creativity and inspiration can often strike when we least expect it，and disappear rapidly when we feel we most need it.Inspiration demands attention，at any hour of the day；that's why Serious Lights use a special technology that allows us to closely replicate（模擬） natural daylight and bring it indoors.This means that wherever you are，and whatever time it is，you can write like you are bathed in a pool of natural sunshine.
   "Read a thousand books，and your words will flow like a river."—Lisa See
   Every author will tell you that the key to becoming a skilled writer is to devote yourself to reading.Reading develops your vocabulary，teaches you narrative structure，and provides a window to worldviews beyond your own.Time spent in front of a page is important for any hopeful wordsmith，and the longer you read，the better prepared you are to write.But many people struggle with reading for long periods of time.They experience blurred vision，headaches，hard concentrating and sore or dry eyes.These are symptoms of what is commonly known as eyestrain（視疲勞）.A Serious Light works with your eyes to reduce these symptoms and allow you the freedom to read and write for as long as you desire.
   "A writer is a world trapped in a person."—Victor Hugo
   Books often provide us with a sense of freedom.The common phrase"get lost in a book"indicates the sensation of allowing the world around you to fade away while the words on the page become a world inside your head.That feeling of freedom shouldn't be hampered by tired and sore eyes.Most readers spend the majority of their time under some form of artificial light.This is where the problem starts.Most artificial light sources are not designed with your eyes in mind and will cause your eyes to overstrain and become tired and annoyed much faster.With a Serious Light you will experience sharper text，vivid colour，and breathtaking clarity，allowing you to read and write for as long as you desire.
