Why this model
It lights the wall to reduce the contrast with the panel.
A bar resting on the screen lights the desk without throwing a single reflection onto the panel. That is what a normal desk lamp cannot do.
For a fixed desk, the YEELIGHT is the best balance of controls and no glare. If you draw, edit photos or work on paper, the Xiaomi bar renders colours more faithfully, Ra95 according to the brand. In the evening, a Philips Hue Play placed behind the screen lights the wall and narrows the brightness gap further.

What matters when choosing
- No reflection on the panel
- That is the whole point of a bar. If the light shows in the screen, it makes the contrast worse instead of better.
- Adjustable colour temperature
- Warm in the evening, neutral during the day. A fixed-temperature bar forces you into a permanent compromise.
- Length relative to the screen
- A bar wider than the screen overhangs and tires the periphery. Shorter, and it leaves the edges of the keyboard in shadow.
