The modern workspace demands more than just a bright lamp it demands precision illumination, intelligent automation, and human-centric comfort. With the launch of the BenQ ScreenBar® Halo 2 in India, BenQ has redefined what premium monitor lighting can achieve.

Engineered after four years of research, rigorous user-testing, and collaboration with leading visual ergonomics experts, the Halo 2 is built for professionals, designers, editors, coders, creators, and anyone who spends long hours in front of a screen.

The Halo 2 not only improves lighting accuracy it transforms the entire desk environment. With an improved dual-light system, advanced asymmetrical optics, triple-curvature backlight, smart controls, and elegant design, the ScreenBar Halo 2 elevates productivity, protects eye health, and enhances any workspace aesthetic.

A New Era of Smart Workspace Lighting

423% Wider Light Coverage for Full Desk Illumination

One of the standout innovations in the ScreenBar® Halo 2 is its triple-curvature backlight design, a major upgrade offering 423% wider ambient coverage compared to its predecessor. The expanded light spread ensures:

• A balanced luminance ratio around the monitor
• Reduced visual fatigue during long working hours
• Elimination of stark contrasts between the screen and the surrounding environment

This wider coverage is especially beneficial for dual-monitor setups, curved displays, and large 32-inch monitors, where typical monitor lamps underperform.

Advanced ASYM-Light™ Optical Technology

BenQ continues to lead with its ASYM-Light™ optical innovation, leveraging an 18-degree asymmetrical cut-off angle to direct light downward onto the desk without touching the display. This ensures:

• Zero glare
• No screen reflections
• No direct light into the eyes
• A clean and comfortable workspace atmosphere

Traditional desk lamps even the most expensive ones often struggle with bounce glare and reflective hotspots. The ScreenBar Halo 2 eliminates these issues entirely, offering true screen-friendly lighting backed by ANSI lighting standards.

The product is also designed around the research conducted with the National Taiwan University of Science and Technology, confirming that maintaining an ambient luminance ratio below 3:1 is proven to reduce strain and enhance long-session comfort.

Smart Controls for Precision Workflows

Ultra-Smooth Wireless Control Dial

The redesigned wireless controller is one of Halo 2’s strongest upgrades. It’s more responsive, accurate, and premium featuring:

• Anti-fingerprint matte finish
• 0–100% stepless brightness control
• 2700K–6500K adjustable color temperature
• Custom scene modes for creative work

This precision dial is invaluable for:

• Color grading
• Graphic designing
• Night-time editing
• Long coding sessions
• Photography workflow tuning

You can fine-tune lighting based on mood, time of day, or task-specific requirements, ensuring total lighting personalization.

A Redesigned Mounting System for Every Monitor

Unlike conventional clip-on designs, the Halo 2 uses an entirely re-engineered mounting mechanism inspired by the gravity-based clamp of the ScreenBar Pro. The mount:

• Fits ultra-thin monitors
• Adapts to curved screens
• Supports thick bezel designs
• Avoids any scratching or pressure damage
• Rests gently instead of clipping tightly

Made from durable zinc alloy, it ensures perfect stability while preserving the integrity of the screen even expensive designer monitors.

Smart Automation Features for Modern Workflows

Motion Detection That Works for You

As soon as you approach your workspace, the ScreenBar Halo 2 automatically powers on using proximity-based motion detection. When you step away, it intelligently powers off to save energy.

Adaptive Auto-Dimming Technology

The integrated ambient sensor continuously measures surrounding light levels and adjusts the brightness instantly and accurately. Whether you’re working daytime with mild sunlight or at night with minimal room lighting, your workspace stays perfectly balanced.

Memory Settings for Full Personalization

Every brightness and temperature configuration is saved, so every time you switch it on, the ScreenBar Halo 2 returns exactly to your preferred setting.

Co-Designed With MINIMAL Design for Modern Aesthetics

With direction from Scott Wilson, former Nike Global Creative Director and founder of MINIMAL Design, the ScreenBar Halo 2 carries a premium design language:

• Sleek metallic finish
• Minimalist silhouette
• Space-efficient form factor
• Clutter-free desk integration

It blends beautifully with high-end workspace equipment and pairs especially well with BenQ PD, RD, MOBIUZ, and MA monitors, achieving a harmonic and professional desk theme.

Designed to Enhance Eye Comfort and Productivity

The ScreenBar Halo 2 is built around one core idea: long-term eye comfort.

The design ensures:

• Reduced contrast between the monitor and environment
• Optimized viewing comfort during prolonged sessions
