About DeskLightingGuide
Ergonomic Desk Lightbars, Screenbars & Bias Lighting
What this site covers
DeskLightingGuide covers lighting for a desk that is used for hours at a time. It works from photometric specification rather than from marketing copy: colour rendering, colour temperature, illuminance at the work surface, and the geometry that keeps light out of your screen.
- Monitor light bars and screen bars
- CRI and colour temperature
- Glare control and screen reflections
- Bias lighting behind a display
- Illuminance targets and mounting geometry

How these articles are produced
Articles here are researched from primary sources: vendor and project documentation, published standards and specifications, research papers and preprints, and measurements published by whoever took them. Drafts are produced with AI assistance and then edited against those cited sources before anything is published.
No article on this site is based on first-hand testing in a private lab, and nothing here should be read as a measurement report of its own. Where a number appears, it comes from a source that is named, so you can check the original instead of taking this site's word for it.
Everything is published under a single editorial byline. That byline is a publishing identity for the site, not a claim about a named individual, and it does not carry professional credentials.
Corrections
Corrections are welcome. If something here is wrong, out of date, or attributed to the wrong source, email hello@desklightingguide.com with the page address and what it should say. Substantive corrections are made in the article itself rather than quietly dropped.
How this site is funded
Some articles carry affiliate links, marked as such on the article itself, which may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. The site runs no sponsored posts, no display advertising and no paid placements, and no vendor has paid for coverage or seen an article before publication. Full detail is on the disclosure page.
