Why we picked it

Let's be real: it's a digital age miracle that any of us get through the day without resorting to two cups of coffee and stumbling into doomscrolling the news until 2 AM. I found that my desk had become a dim temple of productivity setbacks, where dark corners created more glare than a reflective surface on a backlit monitor. That's where the BenQ ScreenBar Halo 2 swoops in like a caffeinated superhero, lighting the way (pun intended).

This isn't just any light bar; it's a proper sidekick to my monitor, saving my eyes and sanity while I try to focus on work without losing the fight against those tiny particles of dust and scattered post-it notes. With its adjustable brightness and warmth settings, it complements the main act of my workspace beautifully.

If you've ever tried working in the kind of lighting that inspires you to pull blankets over your head and play dead, you'll see how the ScreenBar Halo has earned a place next to the main pick in our office gear arsenal. It's that necessary punch of light that lets us power through those late-night missions.

I'll admit it was hard to know how much better my workspace needed to be until I plugged this beauty in.

Let's shine a light (again, pun intended) on the real reasons why this slim gadget is a superb addition to your desk setup!

The Irresistible

  • Removes glare and increases visibility while maintaining sleek aesthetics.
  • Offers customizable brightness and colour temperature to suit any mood or task.
  • Space-saving design ensures that it doesn't take up valuable desk real estate.

The Clever Part

  • The wireless controller is a game changer when you want to adjust settings without moving.
  • USB-powered, so it fits neatly with your other equipment without adding clutter.
  • Enhances comfort for late-night work sessions, reducing eye strain significantly.

The Fine Print

  • Might not be bright enough for extremely well-lit environments; use might result in more glare if you aren't careful.
  • Requires USB-C port; if your setup is vintage, you may need an adapter.
  • The motion sensor can be a bit finicky-don't pop up unexpectedly!

The Reality Check

  • Its attractive minimalism might lead to you forgetting you even have it until you get out of your chair and bump it.
  • The initial setup may have you wondering if you should've just stuck to your old desk lamp.
