The essentials

What type of desk lamp is best for screen work?

A monitor light bar (like the BenQ ScreenBar) illuminates your desk without glare on your screen — the best setup for all-day computer work.

What colour temperature is best for a home office?

4,000–5,000K (neutral to cool white) for focused work. Switch to 2,700–3,000K (warm) in the evening to reduce blue light before bed.

Do desk lamps cause eye strain?

Cheap lamps with flicker or harsh blue light can. Look for flicker-free, dimmable LED lamps with adjustable colour temperature.
