This isn’t the first light bar I have reviewed on this channel, in fact, I reviewed its smaller brother, the Quntis 40cm monitor light bar also. Both light bars are pretty much identical, other than this wider light bar features 22 more LEDs, so it will be brighter and it will cast a wider spread of light than its smaller brother.
The LED light bar measures 52cm or just under 20-inches in length, it has a black aluminum casing and it is powered by the bundled USB-C cable that you either plug into a USB-A port on your desktop monitor, a wall adapter or a port on your desktop or laptop.
This size LED light strip is best suited for screen sizes between 22 and 29inches, yet it performs pretty well enough attached to my curved 34” ultrawide too. There are many ways to mount the light bar onto your monitor with additional accessories for thinner monitors.
Along the top of the LED lightstrip there are four capacitive touch controls. By touching most of these buttons for 3 seconds you can change its brightness and colour temperature from the warm yellow light of 3000K to the blue light of 6500K.
With its 100 individual LEDs, this light bar offers a great way of illuminating your desktop and keyboard area below, without creating unnecessary light for anyone working alongside or around you.
By mounting this bar on top of the monitor you gain more space on your desktop that would have been used up with a side lamp base, and it’s this kind of light that may have also been the cause of any eye strain you may have been experiencing.
I would have personally liked better button controls on the light bar. Having to hold the buttons down to dim and step through the light colour settings can be frustrating because if you go over your desired light setting, you have to cycle through the other adjustment settings before you can get back to the level you want again.
I would have preferred some plus or minus buttons instead, but I can understand why they may have wanted to simplify the controls on this bar. And I think a few one-touch preset buttons would have also been good to see here too. I wouldn’t recommend this size for use on a laptop or small screen. Even the 40cm version is a little large to perch on the top of a 13” laptop screen.
It’s a great way to free up space on your desktop whilst also offering light that can reduce eye strain in a dimly lit workspace. I am not a big fan of the touch-sensitive controls on the top of the light bar, but once set, you only need to use the power button to turn it on and off each time. If you have a large monitor, it’s worth buying this larger version, the more LEDs of this 52cm version do offer a brighter and wider spread of light and if you rotate the bar toward you it can work with curved monitors too.
