I like good lighting. Not only does it make things easier to see, but it can also create atmosphere and give your space some much-needed ambience.
I had never considered using a monitor light bar because I didn’t even know it existed. So when the PR department contacted me to test the company’s Quntis Monitor Light Bar Pro+, I thought, “That’s a light for my desk, what’s the harm in that?” ? Why not ? »
Little did I know that this bar lamp would make a big difference in my office.
I can see my keyboard much better
It’s not that the monitor itself needs additional lighting, as it does just fine on its own. But the extra light spilling off the screen and onto my desk is a game changer for me.
Even with my LED panel attached to my office ceiling, my office still suffered from shadows and dark spots. With this light bar from Quntis, those shadows are gone. I can see my keyboard and everything in my workspace much better.
Of course, this also highlights how dusty my office can be… but that’s another topic.
This well-designed, inexpensive light bar makes such a difference that I can’t imagine being without it. In fact, it’s the first light I turn on in my office.
Better yet, once the sun shines, I can choose to leave the main office light off and not have a problem working at my desk.

I tend to direct the light downward to brighten the desk more. Even in this position, it adds some light to the screen. The light it sends is perfect for me and I don’t need additional lighting on my desk.

One thing is for sure: at certain times of the day, when the sun shines brightest through one of my office windows, the light bar is not necessary.
On the other hand, at any other time of the day, I have become accustomed to this little lamp. It doesn’t take up any space on my already cluttered desk, it lights up the screen and my desk perfectly, and the remote control makes it incredibly easy to use.
If you find that your desk is too dark and you don’t want to further clutter the space with a traditional desk lamp, this lamp might just be the solution you’re looking for.
