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.

Had this screen bar for some months now, and been very happy with it. Only had to charge the controller once, seems to last a very long time. Definitely have noticed less eye strain so it’s doing its job. Made very well, and would imagine it will last a long time too as it’s made of good quality materials Fits on the back of an Alienware 360hz monitor without issues, the way it attaches is very flexible so I can’t imagine you’d ever have much of a problem attaching it It’s plenty bright in the day and night, with loads of options to adjust how you’d like it - but automatic mode handles it mostly! Little bit pricey but well worth it in my opinion

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

Had a cheaper alternative that lasted three weeks before it would hold position as it was half the cost I thought I would just buy this one. It’s very expensive and if the other hand failed i wouldn’t consider this, that said I found the light to be clearer, it’s just easier on the eye compare to the other even at same temperatures. It can go very bright too, I don’t need that much much and find I have it around 10% or less in the evening. The back light is actually really useful too, didn’t think I would use it but I prefer both on low. The angle on the desk is also great with clean cut off. I use is on one of my two 28 inch flat monitors and it offers enough light for both, it’s placed on one and both are landscape. Conclusion: it’s a great light and fits what I need but it’s so expensive for what it is, I hope it lasts

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.

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. Update June 2026 - I still love this light but knocked off a star. I don't know why this happens but twice now the sensor fails to automatically turn off after I've set it to do so. The only fix I've found is to pair the light with the remote again which is a pain as you have to cover the sensor while turning off the power (under the desk) and manipulate the remote for which you need 3 long arms. As I say, a pain, but I still love it.

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 am absolutely happy with how good this is especially the back light which gives a cosy lighting to the setting you want for watching Netflix in the evenings and have the option of the front and back light on is fantastic. The build quality of this is very good and I love that you can control it with the controller by simply touching the settings and moving it around to other options very happy to have bought this :)

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

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional Monitor Light – Worth Every Penny The BenQ Halo Light Bar has completely transformed my workspace. The lighting is bright, evenly distributed, and does an excellent job of reducing eye strain during long hours at my desk. I love that it illuminates my workspace without creating glare on the monitor. The build quality is excellent, and the wireless controller is intuitive and makes adjusting the brightness and color temperature effortless. The backlight feature adds a nice ambient glow that makes the entire setup feel more comfortable and premium. Installation was quick and secure, and it fits perfectly on my monitor. Every detail feels thoughtfully designed, and the overall experience reflects the high quality you’d expect from BenQ. If you spend a lot of time at your computer, this is one of the best upgrades you can make. Highly recommended and absolutely deserving of a 5-star rating!

Très franchement, la BenQ ScreenBar Halo 2 est un des meilleurs achats que j’ai faits pour mon bureau. Dès l’installation, ça a rendu mon setup beaucoup plus beau, plus propre et plus “premium”. Ça apporte une vraie ambiance, surtout le soir, sans avoir besoin d’allumer une grosse lampe qui casse tout. Au quotidien, c’est aussi ultra pratique pour bosser : • la lumière éclaire parfaitement le bureau sans éblouir • ça évite les reflets sur l’écran • ça fatigue beaucoup moins les yeux qu’un éclairage classique • tu gardes ton bureau clean parce que ça ne prend zéro place La qualité est au rendez-vous : finitions solides, lumière homogène, réglages simples, et le fait d’avoir une lumière “focus” sur le bureau fait une vraie différence pour lire, écrire, travailler sur un clavier, etc. Bref : ça améliore le confort + ça rend le setup beaucoup plus stylé. Je recommande à 100% si tu passes beaucoup de temps sur ton PC.

Es excelente, no destella los ojos como la Xiomi que me daba dolores de cabeza, era lo que más me preocupaba. El automático es muy bueno, no le hice más ajustes, se adapta perfecto, tengo el escritorio a lado de la ventana.

Amazing product
