BenQ has announced the launch of a new smart lighting series, including the ScreenBar Max, the iScreenBar, and the NookLight floor lamp.

The ScreenBar Max is designed for dual-monitor setups, utilizing ASYM-TriZone Light technology to provide wide, uniform illumination while minimizing glare. The iScreenBar is a magnetic, aluminum-constructed light specifically for 24-inch iMac models (2021 and later), featuring macOS integration and a specialized ‘Web Conference Mode’. The NookLight is a floor lamp designed for reading using dual-curvature reflectors.

Both the ScreenBar Max and iScreenBar incorporate 24GHz mmWave radar sensors for automatic lighting based on user presence. BenQ Taiwan General Manager Chiu Hui-ling noted a shift in consumer demand toward lighting that prioritizes health and comfort, reporting a nearly 30% increase in monitor light bar sales during the first half of 2026.
