BenQ has unveiled the ScreenBar Halo 2 in India, introducing a next-generation monitor lighting solution tailored for professionals, creators, and gamers who frequently work in dim or fluctuating lighting environments. Developed after four years of research and user insights, the Halo 2 delivers 423% wider illumination coverage than its predecessor, enabled by a new triple-curvature backlight design and an enhanced dual-light system.
The ScreenBar Halo 2 is engineered to eliminate common problems associated with traditional desk lamps, including screen glare and uneven lighting. Leveraging BenQ’s ASYM Light optical technology and an 18° asymmetrical cut-off angle, the device directs light onto the workspace rather than the monitor, protecting users from glare while maintaining consistent ambient brightness—an essential factor in reducing eye strain during extended use.
According to JC Pan, Chief Product Designer at BenQ Smart Lighting, the redesigned wireless control dial provides precise, intuitive control over brightness (0–100%) and colour temperature (2700K–6500K), making it ideal for colour grading, content creation, and late-night productivity. The anti-fingerprint coating further enhances user experience.
BenQ has also introduced a new mounting system constructed from zinc alloy, replacing conventional clips with a gravity-based mechanism that gently rests on monitors of varying thicknesses—including curved displays—without causing damage. Lead Mechanical Engineer Judy Yang highlighted that the new design prioritises screen safety and universal compatibility.
The Halo 2 includes several smart features such as auto-dimming, motion detection that powers the lamp on when the user returns to the desk, and memory settings that recall preferred lighting modes. These additions aim to deliver a seamless and energy-efficient workflow throughout the day.
Created in collaboration with MINIMAL Design, led by former Nike Global Creative Director Scott Wilson, the ScreenBar Halo 2 sports a metallic finish and minimalist aesthetic that pairs well with premium home offices and professional studios. It complements BenQ’s high-end monitor line-up, including the PD, RD, MOBIUZ, and MA series.
“The ScreenBar Halo 2 blends intelligent engineering with elegant design to make modern workspaces healthier, more productive, and visually inspiring,” said Rajeev Singh, Managing Director, BenQ India and South Asia.
The BenQ ScreenBar Halo 2 is available through BenQ’s India E-Store, Amazon India, and select retail outlets, priced at ₹17,490.
