BenQ iScreenBar is a monitor light designed for iMac, combining asymmetric workspace lighting, automatic lighting functions, and macOS control. The light attaches magnetically directly to the iMac without a separate stand. The mounting structure is designed so that the light does not cover the iMac's camera, microphones, or speakers. The CNC-machined unibody aluminum construction and glass touch surface complete the design.
BenQ ASYM-Light? optics direct the light onto the desk and reduce light hitting the screen as well as direct glare toward the user. Center illumination is over 1000 lux, and the 500 lux illumination area is 85 Ć— 50 cm. Brightness can be continuously adjusted between 0?100% and color temperature between 2700?6500 K. The full-spectrum LED light has a color rendering value of Rf = 96. The built-in ambient light sensor enables automatic brightness adjustment.
The 24 GHz mmWave presence sensor detects when the user arrives at the workstation and enables the light to turn on automatically. Video Call Mode optimizes lighting for video calls by dimming the light in the center area and providing softer light from the sides.
iScreenBar can be integrated with the macOS environment, allowing the lighting to be controlled with an app and individual lighting settings to be defined for different applications. The light can also be set to start up together with the iMac. macOS app control and other synchronization functions require a direct USB-C connection to the iMac.
