FAQ

Are monitor light bars worth it?

Yes for many people — they light your desk without screen glare and free up space, reducing eye strain in the evening.

What lighting is best for video calls?

Soft, front-facing light at face level is ideal. Avoid strong light behind you, which turns you into a silhouette.
