Quntis Curved Monitor Light Bar 51cm with Remote Control, Dimming Screen Light Bar, Adjustable Colour Brightness Eye Caring Computer Monitor Lamp USB for Most Screens

Excellent product. Well made and lights up my desk keyboard and mouse setup without having to turn on the main room lights or use an inconvenient lamp with stand. Sits on my 34 inch curved monitor just fine. I opted NOT to clamp the light to the monitor and it still sits firmly with no issues. The included remote does exactly what is required, dimming etc. No problem. 5 stars

After years of working in the control room at various theatres, I have become accustomed to a much dimmer working environment with tightly focussed warm-coloured task lights. Combined with dark themes on my software and desktop, I have noticed a massive reduction in eye strain.This light is a great task light when the keyboard is your only physical task, or in combination with a desk lamp that is focussed on your paperwork.There are lots of adverts around for "super-bright" and "daylight" lights, which are all the opposite of what I want. In fact, finding a light that is gentle on the eyes can very tricky.This light is capable of searingly bright, cold-coloured light but is also capable of the kind of light I want. I suspect the dimmest, warmest extent of this light will be too extreme for some but it suits me well.The beam shape and penumbra are just right to cover the keyboard with only a small amount of spill. The swivel feature means that it can be angled to miss the screen completely while illuminating the keyboard fully.I prefer this kind of lighting to back-lit keys as i am almost fully a touch-typist but still need to glance down occasionally so need an easy way to aim fingers at keys; the function keys and top-row number keys in particular are nowhere near burned into my muscle memory. With back-lit keys, my size 10 hands cover up most of the illumination, thus defeating the purpose of such keys.The body of the light feels as though it has been milled from a solid piece of metal so I am confident it will survive well in my work bag alongside my laptop and all the other bits and bobs that make up my portable office.The blurb and photos indicate that the light is intended for desktop monitors but I am actually using it on my laptop. It works well for me. I have a portable power supply anyway for when I am away from mains power for extended periods and, if I use that instead of taking power from my laptop, I can work for a long time while still leaving spare power in my laptop for later. For shorter stints, taking power from my laptop is not a problem.

It's a good light with multiple colour and brightness options, a good size and durable design and build. The controls are easy to operate. Good value.Only complaint I have is that it seems to add some glare to the screen (i.e. I can see the reflection of my hands typing at the bottom of the screen). It also makes dust much more prominent on the display!

So I’ve never really been into lighting until I got into content creation and streaming but when a friend suggested a Light Bar as a go to lightning accessory so you can separate studio lighting and productivity lighting really helps, I was sceptical light is light anything else is just showing off or changing the appeal (e.g. RGB lights). I was curious my friends determination to sell me on light bars so after doing research I decided to opt away from the overly expensive ones and go for a budget one to at least try out.Likes / ProsEasy to use and setup, the lighting is easily adjustable via the wireless accessory (really don’t understand people saying it’s difficult to use, there’s two parts that spin that change temperature and brightness and the top you can push down for options such as on/off and auto mode it’s that simple).Dislikes / ConsConfigure blocks, depending on monitor can be little wobbly (if you jab it or the table), sometimes you need to get creative to ensure the correct connection size for stability but I’m not going to mark a product down for that as if every product was perfect for every situation we wouldn’t need humans any more to adapt.Summary & VerdictI’m a believer in light bars now, the exact area I need is highlighted with the light so I can see what I need to and no other area needs to be affected. I can control how much light and the temperature of it so easily but for the most of the time the auto adjustment mode is perfectly on point. Ideally you should have a monitor with a USB port so there’s no distance restrictions but it’s not a problem if you don’t just make sure there’s enough distance from the USB source and the monitor. For those who need guided lighting, no screen reflection and control over how they light their space so you can get productive this is good investment. I can’t speak for other models that are three to four times the price but this does everything I need and want why would I spend more?

I know there are a lot of options out there, but for this price range this Quntis model turned out to be brilliant (no pun intended, honest!) and just what I needed.I have it on my 28" BenQ display and it works a treat, the ON/Off button responds to the slightest brush/touch, and it is plugged into my PC USB - i Haven't experienced any issues using the buttons on the light. I don't have it on all the time, just when I in meetings (WFH) or at night and need to see the keyboard & desktop without turning on the room lights.You know, it is one of those things you don't really need, but once you have it you wonder how you survived for so long without it... a great idea and so much more efficient than using the room lights (in this room there are 4 lights that come on), so this is modestly saving energy use, while giving lots of convenience in lighting just what I need.I'm loving it! I'm not sure if a remote control would be any use for me, so if I had to buy another one I would probably still just save money and go for the touch button style like this.... your mileage might vary, but for me it wasn't worth it spending more to get a remote.
