Know before you buy
The weighted clip is designed to fit monitors with a thickness between 0.4 and 1.2 inches. Please ensure your monitor has a bezel width of at least 0.8 cm to accommodate the mounting clip without obstructing your screen.
No, the ScreenBar Plus uses an asymmetrical optical design that directs light specifically onto your desk surface rather than the screen. This eliminates reflective glare, making it much easier on your eyes during long work sessions.
The lamp is USB-powered and requires a 5V/1A power supply. You can plug it directly into a USB port on your computer or a standard USB wall adapter.
Yes, while the lamp features an ambient light sensor for automatic adjustments, you can use the included Desktop Dial to manually fine-tune both the brightness and the color temperature to suit your preference.
Yes, the ScreenBar Plus is designed to remember your last used brightness and color temperature settings, so it will return to your preferred lighting state as soon as you power it on again.
The weighted clip is primarily designed for flat monitors. While it may sit on some curved monitors depending on the curvature and top edge design, it is not officially optimized for them and may not be as stable.
