BenQ WiT ScreenBar e-Reading Desk Lamp with LED Light - Black
04 June 2019
Overall a useful product for minimalist workspace
Been using it so far for a week and got used to it fairly quickly. I don't have anything against it, apart from its current pricing ($160aud surely cheaper in Taiwan) which is way to much even for a premium product. Build quality is entirely plastic, feels durable and not cheap but I would of much prefered metal/alloy materials due to the price.. Another issue is the weighted base which is somewhat of a clunky design and doesn't really fit my curved shape monitor (XR341CK) which is not really an issue if you're just using a flat panel. I would of preferred a heavy thin bar instead of a big round cylinder but I guess that's personal preference. A few things to point out is that firstly its micro USB, and which for some reason, the thing only works when I plug it into fast charging USB 3.0 port and not the other USB 3.0 ports (again could be a monitor issue). The controls are handy and ergonomically well placed for easy use simple on/off power, brightness adjustments, cool/warm tones and auto light detection which I havent really used. Hard to believe but it's really too bad that there's currently no other product like it to compete with, so the choice to give it 5 stars for product innovation, as I've literally ditched my desk lamp for this. It reduces desk clutter and is overall a good product.
