Doesn't fit monitors
The media could not be loaded. I thought I'd get this to use on top of my monitor, since I don't actually use the laptop without it. But out wouldn't clip on.It is however very bright, with 3 light settings and it's dimmable, and you do all this from a control on the lead.Great.... for laptops.

Great for DIY projects
I use this light above my monitor for DIY projects on my desk, it provides an even and bright light across the whole desk, it looks great on my monitor and hides away easily, it uses USB power so i can simply plug it into my PC which is nearby.

Brilliant
Very good laptop lamp, no eye glear at all, good brightness settings, and warm, natural, white light settingOnly thing that could be improved is the clip, as it's flush on the front of the laptop but on the rear it's way way off on an angle, (but it stays on.)That's my only reason to nock a star off

Great light to ease eyestrain!
I spent far too much time in front of my computer for work, I hate it but comes with the job so I power on… Because of this extended time in front of screens I suffer from headaches often. Now Ive only been using this CATPOWER Portable Laptop Monitor Light Bar for around 4-5 days now so its far too soon to truly tell if its going to work its magic and stop the headaches but I havent had one yet.The light shines down and stops the overpowering light from the monitor on your eyes I believe… causing less eye strain.I also love how I can pick the light warmth to match my room (I love a warm glow) and I actually think it looks great too!I haven't actually got this placed on a laptop but on my curved pc monitor and its sits on there without any issues what-so-ever.The only issue I see there being for most PC uses is the cable length… Luckily I have a USB port on my keyboard so the cabling reaches the top of the monitor easily but for someone who has to plug into the tower you may need a USB extender.I love how it looks, I do think its helping with my headaches and the options to control its brightness and white temperature makes this a lovely little light for a great price!

great when you need to see what youre typing
my illuminated keyboard stopped working a couple of months ago & until I bought this lightbar, I had to resort to turning on the light to be able to see the keys clearly on an older keyboard I have been using that does not have light up keys.USB Connection: The light bar connects via USB, allowing for easy power supply from a laptop or other USB-enabled devices. This makes it convenient for use with portable setups.e-Reading LED Task Lamp: Specifically designed for e-reading and tasks performed on screens, it reduces eye strain by providing even, glare-free illumination.Adjustable Color Temperature: Offers 3 color temperature settings (typically warm, neutral, and cool) to suit different lighting preferences and tasks, from reading to working.Brightness Levels: Features 10 levels of brightness adjustment, allowing you to customize the light intensity according to your needs and preferences.No Glare on Screen: The design minimizes glare on screens, ensuring that the light enhances visibility without disrupting your view or causing reflections.Space-Saving Design: Its compact, slim design mounts on the top of your monitor or laptop, saving desk space and keeping your workspace organized.Pros:Glare-Free Illumination: Provides even lighting that reduces eye strain and glare, improving comfort during prolonged screen use.Customizable Lighting: With multiple color temperature settings and brightness levels, you can easily adjust the light to match your task or time of day.USB-Powered: The USB connection makes it easy to power the light bar without needing an additional outlet, adding to its convenience.Compact and Space-Efficient: The light bar’s design is ideal for small workspaces, keeping your desk uncluttered and organized.Ease of Use: Simple to install and use, often requiring no additional tools or complicated setups.Cons:Limited Power Source: Since it’s USB-powered, it relies on the connected device for power. This could be limiting if your USB ports are in use or if you’re using it with non-USB devices.Brightness for Larger Spaces: The light may be more suitable for personal workspaces rather than larger areas or for tasks requiring very high brightness.Compatibility Issues: Depending on the design, it might not fit all monitors or laptops perfectly, especially if they have irregular screen bezels.Conclusion:The CATPOWER Portable Laptop Monitor Light Bar is a versatile and practical addition to any workspace. Its ability to provide glare-free, adjustable lighting via a USB connection enhances comfort for reading and screen work.

Slim form. Works well
This laptop light is a really useful thing. I need additional light to see the keyboard in the lounge in the evenings and this is ideal. It's really slimline and comes with its own velvet bag, so can be easily and safely stored with the laptop in its bag. The clip is small, so it doesn't encroach on the screen, but holds well (though I did need to hold it by the clip to adjust the direction of the light to keep it from coming off). The clip has a cut-out in the front centre which reveals the laptop camera lens, so the light could even be directed at my face and used as a light for video calls. The advantage of this design is that you can also ensure your camera is not accessible by simply shifting the light by about 1cm, in which case the clip would cover the lens.The controls are easy to use, with separate buttons for power, colour temperature and +/- for brightness, so there are no short/long press settings to remember. The light also remembers your previous settings, so there's no need to reconfigure it to your preference every time you use it.Love the size and functionality, and will use it all the time.
