The First Monitor Light Bar in the World ScreenBar
Realizing that modern lighting needs have changed, the BenQ Lighting Team has developed the world’s first monitor light bar, BenQ ScreenBar, in 2017. With a view to combine eye-caring technology and minimalist design, the BenQ ScreenBar provides the best illumination for e-reading. This innovation achievement is honored with the iF Design Award.
The best lighting for e-reading
Uniform and balanced illuminance that causes no reflections on the screen. Certified for flicker-free and no blue-light hazard.
Real-time Auto Dimming
Detects the ambient light and then supplements it to the recommended light level of 500 lux automatically.
Space saving
The patented clamp design allows the light bar to be easily and stably placed on the monitor, thereby freeing up desk space.
Ultra Wide Illuminance
Traditional lamps are designed for paper reading. With the light source concentrated in the center of the desk, traditional lamps can not effectively balance the light between the screen and the surroundings.
With the oval lighting designed for narrow spaces in front of the screen, our monitor light bar guarantees a lighting coverage of 60cm*30cm at 500 lux, thereby illuminating clearly the documents in front of the screen.
Unique asymmetrical optical design
According to research, screen reflection is one of the causes of digital eye strain.
The inner reflective panel with a precise curvature allows the monitor light to deliver a wide and balanced illuminance, without causing any reflective glare on the screen.
Our unique optical design also enhances the efficiency of light usage, which in turn improves the overall brightness of the desk.
The key to screen-reading illumination
Compared with the divergent light of other lamps, BenQ’s unique asymmetrical optical design frees you from screen reflection and direct glare shining into your eyes.
Real-time Auto Dimming
ScreenBar Monitor Light is equipped with a built-in ambient sensor that promptly detects the ambient light and then supplements it automatically to 500 lux as recommended by the American National Standard for office lighting.
How bright is right? No need to guess anymore! ScreenBar provides you with the right light in an easy way!
Patented Clamp
The base design of traditional desk lamps often occupies your workspace.
No base, more space! BenQ ScreenBar Series’ patented clamp design is inspired by the hanging instinct of animals. In contrast to the clip-on design, its counterweight mechanism allows the light bar to firmly stay on the monitor without damaging the monitor itself.
Compatible with any size of the monitor
No matter what the monitor size is, our unique clamp design allows BenQ ScreenBar to instantly and stably place on top the monitors with suitable thickness and curvatures.
Multi-levels of Color Temperatures that suit your needs
15 levels of brightness and 8 color temperature choices for you to adjust based on your needs.
All 8 color temperatures are compliant with American National Standards Institute (ANSI)– Warmer lights for relaxation and energy replenishment; cooler lights allows for concentration and boosting efficiency.
BenQ Lighting Quality Test
To ensure the quality of our lights, BenQ Lighting adopts the most stringent quality test.
After repeated testing of a number of details, the ScreenBar components will not bend or crack in any of the following test conditions, and the light functions properly.
Quality Flicker-free LED Light Sources
With the built-in non-flicker driver chip, the flicker measurement of BenQ ScreenBar is far superior to the industry standard and has passed the IEEE PAR 1789 standard for LED luminaires, giving you the most stable and safe light source.
USB powered
The ScreenBar can be powered by any USB outlet. Once you turn the light on, it resumes with the brightness and color temperature settings you last used to energetically welcome you back to work.
A power supply with an output of 5V/1A or more is required to ensure that the light bar can function properly.
