Entry Description

ScreenBar Halo 2 is a monitor light specifically designed for monitor users with the aim of providing them with easy access to sufficient lighting. Attached to the screen with just a click, it can evenly illuminate the entire workspace while also balancing the contrast glare. The device also features a backlighting design, which creates an ambient glow to reduce eye strain and enhance the visual comfort of your environment. Additionally, the asymmetric optical design ensures that there is no screen glare, providing a glare-free viewing experience.
Our focus is on providing comfortable lighting while balancing contrast glare without any screen reflections. Also, we discovered that screen users often have limited workspace. So we designed a lamp that can be mounted on the screen, freeing the desk space. Furthermore, we found that sometimes users forget to turn off the light when they leave, or are unsure about the optimal brightness level. That's why we incorporated automatic on/off and intelligent dimming features.
It also includes a wireless control knob for effortless adjustments to brightness and color temperature. The lamp’s innovative clamp fixture is thoughtfully engineered for wide compatibility with various monitors. The clamp accommodates different monitor thicknesses, thanks to irregular rubber padding that ensures stability.
