    Advantages and disadvantages

    Positive:
    - Basic idea as a light that can be placed on the upper edge of the screen.
    - Adjustment options for brightness and colour temperature, each manually or automatically (via sensor).
    - Control module.
    - General workmanship     and quality (to be expected in this price range).

    Negative:
    - Less stability on newer/current iMacs with thin screen edges.
    - As soon as eye level is below the top edge of the screen, there is a distracting view of the illuminated inner area (not the LEDs themselves, but their mounting strip). This requires a DIY solution with strips or similar to remedy the situation. And which, in this price range, should be supplied by the manufacturer. It is true that the direction of the luminaire can be turned against the screen. But then the centre of light falls on the table area at the lower edge of the screen and no longer on the work surface.
    - Ideally, a dark keyboard should be used and not a bright one, especially not a white aluminium keyboard from Apple. This reflects the light in a dazzling way.
    - Gradations for manually adjustable colour temperature somewhat too large (only 8 levels from warm/2700K to cold/6500K).
    - Manually adjustable brightness cannot be reduced enough (if only used to slightly brighten up the table environment).

    Excellent table lighting

    After a long back and forth, I have now bought it and so far I do not regret it.

    The lamp looks extremely elegant, takes up no space on the desk and thanks to USB power supply it can - if available of course - be connected     directly to the screen or PC.

    The light cone is asymmetrical; the workplace so is beautifully evenly illuminated without there being reflections on the screen.

    The brightness and color temperature can be adjusted either manually by means of a controller or automatically thanks to the integrated brightness sensor.

    A small downer; a motion sensor would have been handy; some monitors leave the power on when they go into standby. But that's complaining on a high level 😉 .

    Ingenious PC lamp for the monitor

    The light is fantastic and the automatic adjustment adapts to the environment.
    I love how the work area is illuminated.
    I can only recommend the lamp for those who are looking for a lamp for working at the screen. Because     it doesn't stand on the table, but is placed on top of the monitor.
