Lighting
Our "Improve the lighting in your home" guide was written with Thomas Pocklington Trust. It highlights the importance of lighting and how it can create a safer home and help people make the most of their sight. Getting the lighting right in the home can often make a big difference to someone's safety and wellbeing.
Our
lighting range has been specifically chosen to help create a safer home and contains desk, floor standing and portable lights along with
energy efficient light bulbs which light up quicker and have a life expectancy of 10,000 hours.
Magnifiers
Our "
choosing a magnifier guide" was written to remove a lot of confusion and mystery about what magnifiers can and cannot do. It highlights the importance of regular eye tests and having low vision assessments.
We sell a varied
range of magnifiers up to 6x (six times) magnification. Before you decide, why not take a look at our guide.
Clocks and watches
Our easy-to-see, tactile and talking
clocks and watches have been selected to help make telling the time easier.
The innovative RNIB
