The BenQ AR17_C is the official model number for the BenQ ScreenBar Plus, a premium LED monitor light bar widely recognized for its eye-care technology and space-saving design.

Here is a comprehensive breakdown of its key features, technical specifications, and design highlights:

Core Highlights

• Asymmetrical Optical Design:

BenQ's signature technology ensures that light is directed downward to illuminate your desk area without reflecting off the monitor screen. This eliminates screen glare and significantly reduces eye strain.

• Desktop Dial Control:

Unlike the base ScreenBar model (which uses touch sensors on the lamp itself), the AR17_C features a dedicated desktop controller knob. This allows you to smoothly adjust brightness, tune color temperature, and toggle power right from your desk.

• Auto-Dimming Feature:

The desktop dial includes a built-in ambient light sensor. With a single click, it detects the surrounding brightness and automatically adjusts the light output to the recommended healthy office lighting level of 500 lux.

• Patented Counterweight Clip:

It uses a specialized gravity pivot clip that easily balances on top of almost any monitor (with thicknesses ranging from 1 cm to 3 cm). It requires no screws, tape, or glue, leaving your monitor completely undamaged and your desk clutter-free.

Technical Specifications

• Power & Connectivity: Powered via a USB port (5V/1A requirement). It can be plugged directly into your computer, monitor, or a standard wall adapter.

• Color Temperature Range: Features adjustable dual-color LEDs, ranging from 2700K (warm light for relaxation) to 6500K (cool white light for focus and productivity).

• Brightness Adjustment: Supports 15 levels of brightness or seamless step-less dimming via the rotary dial.

• Memory Function: It remembers your last used brightness and color temperature settings, automatically restoring them when turned back on.
