BenQ returns with the ScreenBar Halo 2, a monitor‑mounted lamp that adds two adjustable light sources to a desk. The design keeps the bar balanced on the screen edge, using a single USB‑C cable for power and data. Users can choose to illuminate the workspace from the front, back, or both.

Brightness peaks at 1000 lumens directly below the bar, dropping to 500 lumens outward, while the rear light reaches 450 nits near the monitor and fades to 50 nits. Both LEDs accept 1 % to 100 % intensity control, and a built‑in motion sensor turns the lights off after five minutes of inactivity.

Replacing the clunky wired puck, the new controller is wireless and fully tactile. Turning the knob left or right adjusts brightness or color temperature, while the display shows real‑time settings. The elimination of cables and the intuitive interface make the Halo 2 a smoother, more ergonomic addition to any workstation.

With dual lighting, motion‑sensing power management, and a sleek wireless controller, the ScreenBar Halo 2 delivers a practical, eye‑strain‑reducing upgrade for anyone who spends long hours at a monitor. Its compact footprint and customizable brightness make it a standout choice for professionals and hobbyists alike.
