BenQ ScreenBar_Black Monitor Light with Auto-Dimming

The BenQ ScreenBar is a purpose-built LED monitor light designed to improve workspace illumination without the drawbacks of traditional desk lamps. Its defining feature is ASYM-Light technology, an asymmetric optical design that projects light forward and downward onto your desk surface while preventing any light from hitting your monitor screen. This eliminates the screen glare and reflections that commonly occur with overhead or side-mounted lighting, reducing eye strain during extended work sessions. With a Color Rendering Index above 95, the ScreenBar renders colors with near-daylight accuracy, making it particularly valuable for designers, photographers, and anyone whose work depends on faithful color perception.

The light bar clamps onto your monitor's top bezel via a weighted clip that requires no adhesive or mounting hardware, fitting bezels between 1 and 3 cm thick and accommodating ultrawide and curved monitors with curvatures of 1500R or greater. It draws power from a single USB-A connection, requiring 5V at 1A or higher, and delivers 500 lux of brightness across a 60x30 cm area. An integrated ambient light sensor powers the auto-dimming function, which continuously adapts brightness to your environment. Touch controls along the top of the bar provide manual adjustment of brightness and color temperature across a 2700K to 6500K range. The aluminum and polycarbonate construction keeps the unit lightweight at 1.2 pounds while maintaining a premium, understated appearance that complements any desk setup.
