A monitor light bar could be the enhancement your home office or studio setup needs to help you work more comfortably – and it doesn't have to cost much. Amazon has the Lymax Pro+ with sensor reduced by 31% from $69.99 to $48.59 (click the coupon box on the site for the extra 10% off).
Light bars clamp onto the top of your display and provide a light source that's designed to illuminate only your desk surface. This allows you to see your keyboard and other peripherals without casting glare on your monitor or into your eyes, and without taking up valuable workspace.
Many people find that this can reduce the eye fatigue that often accompanies late-night work sessions because of the harsh contrast of staring into a brightly lit screen with no ambient lighting. If you need a monitor too, see our comparisons of the best monitors for graphic artists).
This affordable light bar uses an asymmetrical optical design to project light forward onto the desk, helping to balance high-contrast dark environments by evenly illuminating the immediate workspace. It has a clean, sleek design, and a built-in motion sensor so it can turn on instantly when you sit down.
It's easy to adjust light levels and shift between warm and cool colour temperatures using the included remote or the light bar itself, and you can recharge the battery via USB-C.
