BenQ ScreenBar e-Reading LED Monitor Light Bar Auto-Dimming Asymmetrical Optics Ra95 – ScreenBar

The Original Vision: The World’s First Monitor Light Bar

Launched in 2017, the BenQ ScreenBar established a new category in workspace lighting. Recognizing that modern environments require illumination that balances the needs of digital screens and physical documents, the BenQ Lighting Team designed an iF Design Award-winning masterpiece. This task lamp is specifically engineered for the e-reading era, combining a minimalist aesthetic with sophisticated eye-care technology. It eliminates the traditional desk lamp’s clutter and flaws, offering a streamlined solution that perches atop your monitor to illuminate exactly what you need without occupying a single inch of desk surface.

Asymmetrical Optical Engineering for Zero Glare

Standard desk lamps often fail in digital workspaces by casting light directly onto the monitor, causing debilitating screen reflections and glare. The BenQ ScreenBar utilizes a unique asymmetrical optical design that directs light downward and forward to illuminate your workspace, effectively avoiding the screen surface entirely. This precision-engineered reflective panel ensures that you experience wide, balanced illuminance across your desk without the discomfort of direct glare or eye-straining reflections. By focusing the light where it matters most, the ScreenBar improves the overall brightness of your desk while maintaining the visual integrity of your monitor.

Intelligent Auto-Dimming and Ambient Light Sensing

Determining the correct lighting level is often a matter of guesswork for many users. The ScreenBar simplifies this process with a built-in ambient light sensor that provides real-time auto-dimming. With a single touch, the light bar detects your current environment and automatically supplements the light to reach 500 lux, the recommended standard for office illumination. This smart feature ensures you always have the right light to reduce digital eye strain, regardless of whether it is mid-day or late into the evening. The integrated memory function also remembers your favorite manual settings, energetically welcoming you back to work with your preferred atmosphere.

Customizable Spectrum for Focus and Relaxation

Versatility is at the heart of the ScreenBar experience, featuring 8 distinct color temperature levels and 15 brightness steps. Users can transition seamlessly from 6500K cool-white light for periods of high concentration and efficiency to 2700K warm-white light for relaxation and energy replenishment. All settings are compliant with ANSI standards, ensuring a high-quality light spectrum that protects your eyes while enhancing your mood. With a Color Rendering Index of Ra > 95, the ScreenBar reveals colors faithfully, making it an essential tool for photographers, designers, and anyone who demands visual accuracy in their workspace.

Patented Universal Clamp and Industrial Durability

Space-saving efficiency is achieved through a patented counterweight clamp design that eliminates the need for a bulky base or destructive adhesive. This mechanism allows the ScreenBar to sit securely on flat, curved, or ultra-wide monitors without causing damage to the display panel or bezel. To ensure long-term reliability, BenQ subjects every component to rigorous industrial-grade testing, including 10,000-cycle rotation and clip durability tests. Powered by any USB outlet (5V/1A), the ScreenBar is a robust, safe, and flicker-free lighting solution that adheres to strict EU blue light safety standards, making it the premier choice for professional and home office lighting.
