Reduce Eye Strain and Enhance Your Lighing Experience Working in dim light puts extra strain on your eyes, causing fatigue, poor concentration, and lower efficiency. ScreenBar solves this by brightening your space and protecting your eyes with advanced optical design—so you can work better, longer, and more comfortably. Balanced Lighting: Front and Back Lights ScreenBar Halo 2 features ultra-wide front and back lighting for full workspace coverage. The front light offers a stable 500lx across a 85 x 50 cm area, while the backlight reduces contrast between your screen and surroundings to below 1:3, aligned with ANSI standards. Enjoy balanced lighting and lasting visual comfort. 423% Wider Backlight Coverage Compared to the 1st Gen Halo Our patented tri-zone backlight design precisely directs light, expanding coverage by 423% compared to the first-generation Halo. This enhanced illumination softens the contrast between your screen and the background, helping reduce eye strain while elevating the ambiance of your workspace. Asymmetrical Optics with 18° Anti-Glare Design Engineered to Minimize Glare and Maximize Clarity Our patented ASYM-Light Technology uses a custom reflector to deliver asymmetrical lighting with an 18° anti-glare angle. This minimizes screen reflections and prevents direct glare, reducing eye fatigue and helping you stay focused longer. Designed Around ANSI Standards for Eye Comfort Scientifically Designed to Protect Your Eyes ScreenBar Halo 2 was developed in partnership with National Taiwan University of Science and Technology. Research confirms that balanced ambient lighting significantly improves eye comfort. By maintaining a luminance ratio of no more than 3:1 between the screen and surroundings, an ANSI standard, we help you work longer with less strain. Zero Glare, Flicker Free & No Blue Light Hazard Built for Long Hours of Comfortable Viewing ScreenBar Halo 2 features certified flicker-free lighting and LEDs with no blue light hazard, verified by EU double certification. Combined with our anti-glare design, it delivers safer, more natural illumination, ideal for extended screen time without the eye fatigue. Adjust to Your Mood Customizable Color Temperature Fine-tune from 2700K to 6500K to suit your needs and adjust front and back lights separately. Tailored to Your Tasks Stepless Adjustable Brightness Steplessly adjust the brightness and set both the front light and back light independently. 3 Light Modes Available Front Light Only Perfect for deep focus: lights only the front area to reduce background distractions. Back Light Only Great for creativity or browsing: adds ambient backlight to inspire and ease contrast. Both Front & Back Light Combines both lights for balanced illumination that reduces eye strain and boosts comfort. Precision Light Control Intuitive Wireless Controller Easily view and adjust brightness and color temperature values with the wireless controller panel. Always Ideal Brightness Real-Time Auto Dimming​​ Maintains 500 lx on your desk as ANSI recommends, helping reduce eye strain at work. A Warm Welcome to You Light Automatically Turns On as You Sit Detects motion in a 60 ± 10 cm cone-shaped area ahead. Turns off after 5 mins without movement. Attention to Detail Camera View Stays Clear and Unblocked The clamp fits ultra-thin bezels without covering your webcam, ensuring a clean view. Video-Ready Convenience Designed for Easy Webcam Mounting Comes with a webcam accessory, allowing you to mount your webcam securely on top of the lamp. Universal, Secure and Durable — New Patented Clamp Design​ New Patented Clamp Design Does Not Scratch Your Monitor Save desk space with our patented clamp. The patented clamp design enhances stability and supports a wide range of monitor types of 0.43-6 cm thick and 1000R-1800R curved. The clamp features rubber contact points to enhance grip and protect your screen. This prevents scratches while keeping the lamp steady, even on delicate or curved monitors.

Review: A surprising quality of life improvement - 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.
Review: High quality great screen bar - 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

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great lighting option for home office.
*by J***B on 3 February 2026*

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
