Xiaomi Mi Computer Monitor Light Bar - Easy Installation, Extra Computer Lighting w/o Taking Desktop Space, w/Wireless Remote Control Adjusting Lights Easily

This is a quality of life improvement I did not know I needed. I wanted a desk lamp that I could use to illuminate the center of my desk, but I didn't want to take up limited desk real estate. In my search for a lamp with a minimal footprint, I discovered the growing popularity of monitor mounted lamps and saw this one regularly featured for its quality compared to other far more expensive lights. I can understand why so many recommended it. The material quality is excellent, the clamp is surprisingly hefty, the materials are primarily metal, and the design is very clean. It doesn't feature an uplight for bias lighting, but I'd rather have a dedicated light for that purpose. I'm not concerned about the lack of RGB lighting, as I was interested in reducing eye strain and illuminating my desk, which the bi-color lighting serves perfectly. The range of brightness is excellent as well, I have no problems using it at night or during the day. The one con I've identified so far is that the control dial, while very responsive, is too sensitive. There are low resistance detents that provide tactile feedback when you rotate the dial. Ideally the brightness should change only when you've passed a detent, as their entire purpose is to be a form of tactile feedback that registers you've made an adjustment. Unfortunately the sensor detects the slight play between detents, making the haptic feedback superfluous and the brightness control somewhat erratic. Simply wiggling the dial slightly without ever passing a detent causes the brightness to jump up and down until it reaches either max or minimum brightness. If I'm trying to make a fine adjustment of one brightness level, the lamp will often suddenly increase or decrease an extra level than intended. It is also frustrating when having to combine this with pressing the dial to change the color temperature and having the temperature get warmer or colder in increments you did not intend. It's not such a huge issue that I have any regrets. I still fully recommend this lamp, I just hope they address this problem in any future revisions.

I've been working from home for 10+ years and I've recently taken interest in a minimalist desk setup. A more expensive brand of light kept coming up on popular influencer's blogs and videos but I just couldn't fathom spending that much on a lamp. I'm happy to report that this Xiaomi light exceeds my expectations for the price point. It's well built, feels premium, and works brilliantly (no pun intended). I appreciate that the wireless remote is included as I find it frustrating that competitors make you purchase one separately. Naturally I have some hesitation about buying products from lesser known manufacturers, but in this case I'm extremely satisfied and glad I bought this light. I titled this review as a life changer because it really has made an improvement on my desk setup and fatigue looking at my monitor 10+ hours a day. I had a desk lamp before which didn't illuminate my desk very well, was a nuisance in my periphery, and cluttered my desk space. The light bar has made a difference because it draws my attention and focus to just my monitor. If you're on the fence about which light bar to go with, I highly recommend this one. It's well priced, great quality, and easy to use right out of the box.

After a full year of using the Xiaomi Mi Computer Monitor Light Bar, I can confidently say it’s one of the best upgrades I’ve made to my desk setup. The lighting is extremely comfortable on the eyes, especially during long work sessions at night. Since it mounts on top of the monitor and shines directly onto the desk, it lights up the workspace perfectly without causing glare on the screen. That small design choice makes a big difference when you spend hours in front of a computer. A nice bonus I discovered is that because of the magnetic clips, my OBSBOT Meet SE 1080P 100FPS webcam clicks perfectly on top of the light bar without needing the included mount. It actually makes the camera placement even cleaner and keeps my monitor setup looking minimal.

💡 1.5 years later | Review of the Xiaomi Monitor Light Bar I am SO bummed because I LOVE this light bar. The quality is there and I love the feel of the materials used in its construction. The remote puck is so satisfying to use because of the soft-to-touch feel and the light is extremely bright. I also love the precision of the dimming feature... HOWEVER... ❗️...if you intend to prop this light bar on top of a monitor that is mounted on an adjustable monitor arm, the light bar will likely tilt over. ❗️ I know this is common sense because the light bar itself isn't mounted on the monitor and stays on by weight, but I actually didn't consider my adjustable monitor arm when I purchased this light bar. I regret not having considered that use case. So now, I have to be extra mindful of how fast I maneuver my monitor so the light doesn't fall off. The quality still stands 1.5 years after purchase and I've never had any issues with the light flickering or not working. I've also never had to change the puck remote's battery since purchasing. Also, even with maneuvering my monitor it has never completely fallen off and only tilts over (see photo), which is pretty good for a light bar that's not mounted, imo. The weight on the light bar is pretty reliable considering all the ways I've moved my monitor. The tilting gives me a mini heart attack every time I maneuver, and imo, if this were a PERFECT 5-star/no flaws product, it would stay put. 😮‍💨 Also a caveat: I do have a webcam velcroed to the center part of the light bar, so that could also contribute to the tilting. To Xiaomi - Please consider making a desk lamp/light bar that mounts to the desk using the same materials (or better). ---------------------------- TLDR; Light bar tilts on monitors mounted to adjustable monitor arms. No adjustable monitor arm? No problem! Light bar is made of high quality materials.

This light is really great. Perfect for lighting my work area. I had used a variety of desk lamps and always had a problem with angle or glare in my eyes. This light provides easily adjustable lighting exactly where I need it, with no glare. Set up was easy (remember to batteries in the remote!) and configuration and adjustment are a breeze.

This monitor light is fantastic. It's wider than what I'm used to, but that makes it actually evenly cover more of the monitor screen. The puck is great. At first I thought I wouldn't use it, but being able to adjust the light and turn it off and on without having to deal with a cord (the puck wirelessly connects to the light) is fantastic for keeping the workspace looking uncluttered. The only drawback of this is that the light was built for thicker monitors. If you have a thin OLED monitor and try to perch this light on top of it, it will topple over if you jiggle your desk or monitor even a little. However, there is a cheap fix: get a cardboard box, cut out a bunch of small 1" x 2" pieces, stack them, tape them to form one block, then use a couple of rubber bands to secure this cardboard block to the inside of the monitor clip (i.e. between the back of your monitor and the clip). You'll have to do a tiny bit of trial and error to figure out how many cardboard pieces to use when you make your cardboard block. Once you do this, the light is securely attached to your monitor.

Beware. As many other reviews have pointed out, this light works ok for a while, but the wireless remote puck stopped working for me after a few months. I've tried replacing the batteries, and repairing to the lights, but still does not work. There is no power button on the light itself, so the only way to turn it off is by unplugging it. Without the remote, the color temperature also defaults to harsh blue tint, rather than the warm light I had it set at. The "product support" is non-existent and seems impossible to buy just a replacement remote.

This light replaced my Quntis Computer Monitor Lamp, which only lasted 2 years. The Xiaomi Mi light bar is better in every way. It is easy to attach to the monitor and can be adjusted to a variety of lighting conditions. The wireless remote control switch works very well. Overall, the quality of the Xiaomi Mi is much better than the Quntis light bar.

Ich habe mir die Lampe besorgt um etwas mehr Licht an meinem Arbeitsplatz zu bekommen. Durch den 49 Zoll Bildschirm ist der Platz am Tisch an dem eine Lampe stehen kann, die gleichzeitig den Tisch gut ausleuchtet, begrenzt. Vor der Bestellung habe ich mir ein paar Vergleiche unterschiedlicher Hersteller angesehen. Aufgrund des Preises und der gelobten Qualität in zahlreichen Reviews habe ich mich für dieses Produkt entschieden. Sorgen hatte ich bezüglich folgender Punkte: - Kompatibilität mit einem sehr dünnen curved Bildschirm - Anstrahlen des Bildschirms Als das Paket ankam stellte sich mir zuerst mal die Frage, ob das Produkt schonmal geöffnet wurde. Für das Verschließen des Pakets wurde braunes Klebeband verwendet. Das Durchsichtige runde Klebeband zum Verschließen war aber in Takt also nehme ich nicht an, das es sich hier um eine Rücksendung handelt. Zur Qualität: Das Produkt fühlt sich sehr wertig an. Der Regler für Helligkeit/Lichttemperatur lässt sich gut drehen und klicken. Die Lampe reagiert sofort auf die Eingabe. Die Haptik passt. Montage: Montiert ist das Ganze sehr schnell. Mit einem Gegengewicht, wie man das auch von Webcams kennt, wird die Lampe am oberen Bildschirmrand montiert. Das funktioniert zwar auch bei dünnen Bildschirmen, hier muss man sich aber etwas länger der Feinjustierung widmen. Leuchtbild: Mit dieser Lampe ist mein kompletter Tisch sehr gut ausgeleuchtet. Was jedoch auffällt ist, dass ein Teil des Monitors auch angestrahlt wird. Für mich aber nicht wirklich störend. In den Bildern sieht man es leicht bei schwarzem Hintergrund. Alles in allem echt ein super Produkt, vor allem für den Preis! Auch das einfache Dimmen und Ändern der Farbtemperatur ist sehr gut. Ich werde mir auf jeden Fall eine zweite für meinen anderen Arbeitsplatz besorgen.

The light is very solid. The build quality is superb . There are two colors. White~Yellow. The controller is very nice and it's adding a touch of a minimalist aesthetic

Works well, fits my 27'' curved display

Uso la Xiaomi Mi Computer Monitor Light Bar da ormai qualche anno (dal 2023) e ne sono davvero soddisfatto. Si appoggia facilmente sopra il monitor e illumina molto bene senza creare riflessi sullo schermo, il che è fondamentale per non affaticare gli occhi. La cosa che adoro di più è il telecomando wireless: è comodissimo poter regolare sia l’intensità della luce che la temperatura colore senza dover toccare la lampada. È davvero una chicca per chi passa molte ore davanti al PC. La qualità costruttiva è molto buona, la lampada è ben rifinita e stabile. Consiglio questa light bar a chi vuole una soluzione semplice ma efficace per migliorare l’illuminazione sulla scrivania senza ingombri.

I'd been looking on and off a light bars. After watching a number of YouTube videos and reading reviews I chose the Xiaomi Light Bar. The quality of life improvement having the light bar in place has been far greater than I would have imagined. It has proven to be a huge upgrade for my desk. It makes working during the day a lot more comfortable and then reduces eye strain at night when gaming. The light bar is very well made and the materials look and feel good quality. The light bar is very minimalist on the top of the monitor. It was easy to setup and adjust. Adjusting the brightness and colour temperature is very quick and easy. The light produced is very directional and I've had no issues with glare or reflections on the screen, or light shinning into my eyes. A couple of points to consider, the mounting bracket is quite heavy to counterbalance the light bar. If you're monitor is on an arm, you may need to tighten it up. As the light bar is heavy enough to gradually weigh it down. You may also need to consider your webcam, mine is small and light enough to be able to balance on top of the light bar. The only knit picks I have and these are very minor. The way the power cable sticks up seems like an after thought. Its just not as neat as the overall design is. Its really only an issue if you're trying to sit you webcam on top as it make it a bit harder to position. The other thing is the base of the remote is not grippy enough. When I turn it to adjust the brightness, it ends up slipping on the desk top and the whole thing rotates rather than just the control surface. Overall this has been an excellent purchase. If you've been thinking about getting a light bar, just do it, you will be very glad you did.
