Description

BenQ Smart Lighting Team achieved a major milestone by developing the world’s first monitor light bar. With a relentless focus on innovation, research, and user-centered design, we continue to drive the evolution of smart lighting technology. Since BenQ launched the first monitor light bar, we've continually perfected every detail that enhances eye comfort and visual clarity. More than anyone, we care for your eyes. 2022: Backlight comfort 2023: Visual focus & light balance studies Built to perform. BenQ ensures top reliability with extreme temp, humidity, drop, and 10,000-times durability testing. BenQ Smart Lighting has earned global acclaim with 30+ design awards since 2016—for design that beautifully unites form and function. The only patented certification that effectively prevents screen reflections and glare, ensuring better eye-comfort. Ultrawide optical lighting designed for big desks—brightens your entire workspace so you can focus better and see every detail. Exclusive 3D optical tech makes every note and key easy to see—no more squinting, just comfortable and focused practice. Winged reflector with silver coating reduces light loss and spreads illumination widely. Concealed indirect source enhances comfort. Each product reflects our pursuit of perfect lighting. Advanced optical simulation ensures precise and visual comfort. Refined through over a million simulations, BenQ’s asymmetric optics cut screen glare at the source and keep light out of your eyes. ScreenBar Halo 2 balances screen and ambient light, reducing contrast strain in dark rooms. The result: precise, sustained lighting so you can focus for hours. Working in the dark can feel more focused and comfortable—at first. Over time, the sharp contrast between your bright screen and a dim room quietly fatigues the eyes and shortens endurance. As the pioneer in monitor light bars, BenQ designed ScreenBar Halo 2 with scientifically-proven asymmetrical, glare-free optics and a rear-facing light to balance the screen and ambient light — in line with international lighting standards — delivering lasting comfort and greater clarity for longer sessions. Developed in collaboration with university research teams, ScreenBar Halo 2 integrates proven backlight research to deliver truly ergonomic lighting. By meeting the ANSI 1:3&3:1 standard for screen-to-ambient light contrast, it reduces eye strain and maintains visual comfort for sustained focus. 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. ScreenBar Halo 2 combines precise front lighting with a wide ambient backlight to cover your entire workspace. The front light delivers 500 lx of consistent light across a 33.5 × 19.7-inch area, while the backlight softens the transition between your screen and the room to ease eye strain. Fixed above the monitor, it delivers precise lighting the moment you sit with no repositioning of the lamp required. Our asymmetrical optical system, refined through over one million simulations, combines an 8-section reflector and 12 precision lenses with an 18° cut-off to shape the light beam. As a result, light lands on your desk — not your eyes or monitor — reducing screen reflections and direct glare, and minimizing unnecessary pupil adjustment. 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. ScreenBar Halo 2 introduces intuitive commands with its wireless controller and numeric touch panel. Angled at 15°, it naturally aligns with your hands and eyes, ensuring clarity and comfort for every setting. Adjust brightness and color temperature seamlessly, switch between the front and back light with ease, and achieve illumination that not only bolsters your focus but also reflects thoughtful design. ScreenBar Halo 2’s color temperature range spans from 2700K to 6500K, giving both the front and backlight full freedom to adjust to your needs. Warm tones create immersive comfort, inspiring creativity while reading, writing, or designing. Cool, crisp tones sharpen clarity and help sustain focus, which is ideal for coding, analysis, or precision work. In this way, ScreenBar Halo 2 is able to seamlessly adapt to every task and mood. ScreenBar Halo 2 enhances its brightness control with 0% – 100% stepless adjustment on both the front and backlight, which can each be independently tuned. Compared to previous models, it shines brighter when tasks demand clarity and dims deeper for greater comfort in darker rooms, so that every scenario — from detail-intensive work to relaxed viewing — has the type of illumination that suits exactly what you need. ScreenBar Halo 2 features an ultrasonic presence sensor that turns the light on the moment you sit within 23.6-inch (60 cm) of your desk. Its conical detection range avoids false triggers when you walk past, while also powering down after 5 minutes of no motion. The result: a warm welcome whenever you’re ready, with seamless illumination that keeps your workflow uninterrupted. ScreenBar Halo 2 employs intelligent sensors with real-time auto-dimming, so that it can detect the ambient light and instantly adjust its brightness to keep your desk at the recommended 500 lx of illuminance. From daytime shifts to late-night coding, it thinks ahead, eliminating the need for manual adjustments and ensuring your eyes stay comfortable and focused. Engineered with advanced LED driving technology, ScreenBar Halo 2 delivers 64% lower minimum brightness than its predecessor, creating a softer, flicker-free glow for late-night comfort. Save desk space with our patented clamp. Its counterweight design ensures stability and fits monitors 0.17–2.36" thick and 1000R–1800R curved screens. Details matter. The clamp features rubber contact points to enhance grip and protect your screen. This prevents scratches while keeping the light bar steady, even on delicate or curved monitors. The patented clamp is precisely shaped to avoid blocking your webcam, keeping video calls natural and your camera view clear on any monitor. With a dedicated accessory, your webcam can be mounted securely on top of the light bar — ready for video calls and online meetings without extra setup. The front light eliminates screen glare and distractions, delivering clear illumination that sharpens focus and enhances your productivity. The backlight softens contrast and enriches ambience, creating a calm environment where inspiration emerges and ideas develop into refined creations. With the combination of the front and back lights, illumination stays balanced and adaptive, preserving your focus and strengthening your creativity through long hours. Developed over two years in collaboration with Chicago design studio MINIMAL, the unseen details in ScreenBar Halo 2 were refined to perfection and honored with the 2025 iF and Red Dot design awards. With an LED lifespan of up to 17 years, ScreenBar Halo 2 has endured extreme tests—from temperature cycles to drop and clamp trials—ensuring reliability that matches your long-term ambition. ScreenBar Halo 2 ScreenBar Pro ScreenBar e-Reading Desk Lamp Why does the light turn on and off by itself? You might have activated the auto on/off function, which detects motion in a 23.6±3.9" cone-shaped area ahead. Why doesn't my wireless controller work? The controller is not faulty. When idle, the icons dim. To activate the controller, tap any function icon first (not the display panel). Then rotate the dial to adjust brightness/color temperature, or press another icon to use its function. Why do I see glare on my screen when using ScreenBar Halo 2? ScreenBar Halo 2's asymmetrical optics prevent screen glare. If you notice glare, the lamp may not be mounted correctly. Please ensure the clamp’s top is completely flat, not tilted. You can also rotate the lamp to adjust the angle for your monitor. Is my monitor compatible with the ScreenBar Halo 2? ScreenBar Halo 2 fits monitors 0.17–2.36" thick and 1000R-1800R curved, including Apple Studio Display and iMac. Ensure the clamp sits level on top of the monitor and the lamp does not tilt forward when mounted. For more details, please contact BenQ. Why does the power on/off button on the wireless controller keep blinking and fail to control the lamp? The blinking means that the controller has lost its connection with the lamp. To restore the connection, please follow the tutorial video on this product page or the guide on BenQ’s website. For more help, contact our customer care via online chat.
