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. ​

Lighting Coverage​

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 lamp head angle can be adjusted as needed, with a maximum of 20 degrees.

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.

Our pursuit of the best quality​

Multiple Certifications for Extra Safety ​

The products are made from EU RoHS compliant materials. Also certified to the EU IEC 62493 standard, the assessment of lighting equipment related to human exposure to electromagnetic fields.​

Photography-level Color Rendering Index​

Ra>95, reveals the colors of objects faithfully. Photographer-level color rendering meets your color requirements.​

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.
