BenQ ScreenBar Halo 2 LED Monitor Light Bar, Wireless Controller, Adjustable Brightness & Colour Temperature, Eye-Care Light Bar, No Screen Glare, Space Saving, USB Powered

I hesitated at full price, but when the BenQ ScreenBar Halo dropped to £125, it felt worth a try. After a few weeks of use, I’m glad I picked it up. Fit was my first concern. I’m using it on a Samsung Odyssey G9, and it clamps securely without putting pressure on the screen or interfering with the curve. Setup took minutes. The lighting itself is excellent. It does a great job of evenly lighting the desk without glare on the screen. The control wheel is intuitive, letting you quickly adjust brightness and colour temperature from cool white to warm white, with plenty of range at both ends. Small changes are easy to dial in, which makes a difference during long work sessions. One feature I didn’t expect to care about, but now really like, is the motion sensor. Walking up to the desk and having the light turn on feels oddly satisfying and genuinely useful. You can also control the rear ambient light and the downward desk light independently, so you can run either one on its own or both together depending on the mood or time of day. Overall, the BenQ ScreenBar Halo brought a noticeable quality-of-life improvement to my setup. It’s not cheap, but if you spend a lot of time at your desk and can grab it on a deal, it feels like money well spent.

so far. I wasn't sure whether to buy a cheap, knock off version of this but glad I got the Benq after discovering and using all its features. It mounts securely but gently to the top of my 32" monitor and can be adjusted easily so there's no glare. I wasn't sure about paying extra for a remote but I love it. It feels a quality bit of kit and robust with a simple, functional display. Brightness levels are great and can be increased from 1% to 100% in 1% increments. There's an auto-dimming mode but I don't use it. Colour temperature adjustments range between 2700K to 6500K in 25K increments. The Presence Detector is virtually instant once you're detected and can be set to power off the light(s) at 3, 5, 10 or 15 minutes intervals when you move away from the screen. It has the option of using just the main front light, just the back (ambient) light or both. Once you've found a favourite setting of all the features they can be saved and called up by a simple tap. I'm now think of getting one for my other system.

Very easy to fit / clip onto the top of my 27" monitor, and runs either off of the monitor USB-C port or the included USB-C transformer. So far it seems very secure, I've seen no movement despite having a slightly wobbly desk. The fully independently adjustable front and rear lights, both for colour/temperature and brightness are great. I have a bright cool light on the front illuminating the desk and a warmer back light onto the wall behind my screen. There is no glare on the screen and I find it much better than having a room or desk light on. I'm really impressed with this light and love the presence sensor that turns it on and off automatically when you're away from your desk. I work from home and spend about 6 - 8 hours a day at the screen, this has made a difference to my work day and both I and my eyes seem to be less tired at the end of the dull winter day. It seems expensive for a light when there are so many cheaper "goose neck" options available that clamp to the desk. Having tried several of those I find the BenQ to be by far the best, especially the adjustable front and back light brightness. Recommended

This is a fantastic lightbar for your home office. One it looks great and functionally it is brilliant. I have a 49" ultrawide curved screen, and this sits on top perfectly. The auto adjustments this does throughout the day based on the surrounding light is very effective. It has changed the way I work completely and removes the fatigue and strain from your eyes completely. From a number of accessories I have purchased for my office, this has been a very good purchase. Superb value for money. In the 2 months i've been using it, I have not had to change the control unit at all. I honestly can't recommend this enough!

I'd been thinking about buying a screen bar for a while and finally went for it when this one was reduced during the Black Friday sales. I work from home during the day and do a lot of photo/video editing during the evening, so spend a lot of hours staring at my screen. My eyes are often tired after so many hours sat at my desk and this has made a big difference to reduce eye strain, especially when using my computer in the evening. Unsurprisingly, it fits my BenQ screen perfectly although I'm sure it will fit most other screens just as well as the mounting foot is adjustable. Quality is very good and it was easy to set up - plugging in to a USB-C port to power it. The wireless puck is easy to use and hasn't required recharging yet even after a couple of months of use. I was slightly worried that I'd be distracted by the glow from the light or reflections, however that really isn't a problem. I went for the Halo 2 over the cheaper version as it has a proximity sensor to switch on when I sit at my desk as well as a rear light to illuminate the wall behind the monitor. So far though I haven't used either. I prefer it without the rear light (although this is just personal preference), but it's nice to have the option of both if I need it - it's easy to select front only, rear only or both with a touch of a button on the puck. The proximity sensor is great - until your cat walks in front of it at 3am and wakes you up as the light switches on. So I quickly disabled that.

Excellent bit of kit. Pricey, yes, but fits my 32” screen perfectly. Love the automatic on / off sensor. Has plenty of customisation too, with the backlight, brightness and different temperature of lighting. The puck helps you control this with ease. Definitely recommend.

Worth every penny. Is better dan all the lamps I tested and has great adjustability features.

The BenQ ScreenBar Holo 2 is an excellent on-screen lamp. The light is bright, clear, and adjusts beautifully to reduce eye strain during long work or reading sessions. Its sleek design and easy setup make it a classy and functional addition to any workstation. The only downside is the price — it’s a bit pricey, but in my opinion, worth it for the quality

The BenQ ScreenBar Halo 2 is an excellent monitor light that delivers exactly what it promises. It provides great illumination without shining in my eyes, which makes long sessions at the desk far more comfortable. The controls are fantastic and intuitive to use, and the overall experience is very satisfying. I have no qualms at all and would happily recommend it to anyone looking for a high-quality monitor light.

Excellente lampe de bureau. La BenQ ScreenBar Halo 2 offre un éclairage homogène, sans reflets, et très confortable pour les yeux, notamment le soir. La télécommande est un vrai plus : pratique, réactive, et le design est soigné. J’étais tellement satisfait que j’en ai commandé une seconde pour l’offrir. Malheureusement, celle-ci est arrivée cassée dans son emballage pourtant intact. Le cadeau n’a donc pas pu être fait à temps. En revanche, le retour et le remboursement via Amazon se sont déroulés sans aucun problème.

Utilizzo la BenQ ScreenBar Halo 2 da alcune settimane e la differenza si nota subito, soprattutto se si lavora molte ore davanti al monitor. La luce è uniforme, ben distribuita e non crea riflessi sullo schermo, cosa fondamentale per chi fa grafica o video. La doppia illuminazione (frontale + posteriore) riduce molto l’affaticamento visivo, soprattutto la sera. La regolazione automatica funziona bene, ma apprezzo molto anche il controller wireless: intuitivo, preciso e con materiali di qualità. Ottima la possibilità di regolare temperatura e intensità in modo fine. Il sistema di fissaggio è solido e compatibile anche con monitor sottili o curvi. Prezzo non basso, ma qualità costruttiva e comfort visivo giustificano l’investimento. Dopo averla provata, tornare a una lampada tradizionale è difficile. Consigliata a chi cerca una soluzione professionale e curata nei dettagli.
