A Comparison with Traditional Desk Lamps

5 Benefits of Buying a Monitor Light Bar

Maximize space, reduce eye strain, minimize disturbance, eliminate glare, customize lighting, and banish shadows—monitor light bars outshine traditional lamps.

Benefit of monitor light bar

Space Efficiency

Maximizing Desk Area Screen-attached light bars free up desk space; traditional lamps occupy space, while light bars use none.
Targeted Illumination

Enhancing Visual Comfort Light bars brighten surroundings without distortion, reducing eye strain; crucial for color-accurate design work.
Nighttime Productivity

Minimizing Disturbances Screen-mounted lights focus illumination, minimizing disturbance compared to all-direction lamps; ideal for night work & gaming.
Adaptive Lighting

Customizable Comfort Light bars offer extensive brightness/color temperature control; some auto-adjust to ambient light for optimal viewing.
Glare Reduction

Improving Viewing Experiences Asymmetrical lighting technology minimizes screen reflections, enhancing comfort over scattered desk lamp illumination.

How to Select the Ideal Monitor Light Bar for Your Needs

Select for asymmetrical lighting, optimal brightness, adjustable temperature, high color rendering, and eye-friendly features. Choose the ideal monitor light bar.

Monitor Light Bar buying guide

Asymmetric Lighting

Glare and Shadow Reduction Opt for asymmetrical lighting: is prevents direct screen reflections, reducing glare. BenQ's patent excels in visual comfort.
Illuminance

Optimal Workspace Brightness Target 500 lx for core work areas; 300-1000 lx range for office spaces.
Color Temperature

Adaptable Lighting Comfort Choose adjustable temperatures: 5000K+ (daytime), 4000K (reading), 2000K-2800K (evening). Automatic adjustments enhance convenience.
Color Rendering

True-to-Life Visuals CRI Ra 90-95+. Higher CRI: better color. ScreenBar Pro: full-spectrum LEDs, Rf>96 for superior accuracy. Suits various needs.
Blue Light and Flicker

Eye Health Considerations Seek IEC 62471/62778 (blue light) and IEEE PAR1789 (flicker-free) certifications to prevent eye strain from LED emissions.

How Can Your Monitor's Size, Thickness, and Bezel Determine the Perfect Light Bar Match?

Check For Size Compatibility

Size Compatibility

Monitor lights suit various screen sizes, even 49". Focus on desk space, not screen dimensions.
Matching Curvature

Standard monitor lights fit 1800R curves. For 1000-1500R, use specialized models like ScreenBar Pro or Halo. Check compatibility before buying.
Monitor Thickness and Installation

Standard monitor lights fit 1-3 cm thick monitors. For other thicknesses, consider ScreenBar Halo or Pro. Check compatibility before buying.

Making the Right Choice: Premium vs Budget

BenQ's light bar outperforms competitors in uniformity tests. Lab tests reveal superior uniformity: 40x50cm area scores near 1 (ideal). Unique 85x50cm optimal coverage. Uniformity ratio (max/min illuminance) < 3, closer to 1 is better.
