An essential item for desk setup nowadays 😂😂😂
Pretty much!
why is it essential? Isn't a normal lamp on the ceiling enough?
@@blocky3664 shud buy one n try~definitely a different feeling
@@AlFirous Thanks for the explanation, the lights are always directly above the table right?
I love the style of your videos. Keep them coming. Can’t wait to see what you come up with next!
Thank you so much! We're learning a lot and will be trying to improve each video, so stay tuned! Also feel free let us know if you have any suggestions for future videos
Your video is of high production value and I am pretty sure your channel will grow very healthily in days to come. Good job!
Thanks for your support peter! We really appreciate it!
have this lamp for few months now and i cant work at night without it
also been following the facebook page. now this . instant subs ~
Thanks for your support haha! We've been pushing ourselves to get more content out to everyone. So hopefully these videos can help a lot people choose their desk setup pieces.
Really enjoyed it!! Keep up the wonderful work
Thank you!!! Appreciate the kind words and we will keep doing our best!
I just got convinced to buy the lamp thanks to your video, your work is great really professional, I would love to have a minimalist setup, but I don't have many wireless things, maybe some solutions for cable management around the desk would be a good topic for a video.
Glade we could help. Yeah a cable management guide is definitely one of the items on our list of guides to make, I think a lot of people need it haha. Thanks for your feedback!
Congrats on starting your TH-cam channel! The first video is very well done 👍👍
Thank you Arthur! We appreciate the kind words!
Love the editing, would like to hear more of a comparison between this and the Benq but glad you threw in a quick mention of it anyway.
oops, Didn't see this comment. Thanks for the feedback!
Great content good luck with your channel!
Thanks for your support, mate. We appreciate it!
Very professional and well made review. Subscribed!
Thanks so much Martin, appreciate the sub! We'll be making more reviews and other vids soon, so stay tuned :)
I have a similar two monitor setup. Is there a glare from the light on the other monitor? Have you considered getting another lamp for another monitor?
Hi Sam - I am certain, many people around the world are thankful for the informative, insightful reviews you make in a humble way. You inspired me to make a few changes to my workspace. I was wondering, how you would best put a Logitech Brio along with the Xiaomi Lamp on a 34 inch curved monitor? Greetings from Belgium !
Thanks for that mate. Mounting the web cam onto your monitor lamp is definitely tricky. Most people just use 3M table to stick it straight onto the monitor lamp facing the person. Since you have a 34 inch monitor, you have the option to mount the webcam off center too!
for reference, you can watch this video at 8:29 - where he shows his setup with the webcam on the monitor lamp!
th-cam.com/video/xivZQr2gPlk/w-d-xo.html
Hope that helps
Hi Sam - this really helps! Many thanks for taking the time to respond with the suggestion and the reference video!
Take care!
bro what kind of time app is that? nice set up!
awesome video !
Thanks so much for your support! Haha now videos to come shortly
I would like to know if the lamp works with 5 volts or less.Thanks.
Hi, great review! I was wondering if you need to plug the USB into the computer or if you can plug it in a regular wall socket. I'm using a laptop for my setup which doesn't have many ports so that would help :)
Hey Pekka, great question. The light bar works as long as it has a 5V power source so a USB wall adapter is fine too!
It’s an amazing review, made my mind to buy it 🙏🏽
Thanks for your kind words!
Awesome review!, I’m glad I’ve found this channel!. One usability question: can the lightbar be turn on without the wireless puck it comes with? , let’s say it gets damaged or whatever, I don’t want to end up having a light bar I can’t turn on by other means :-)
Not sure if it can be turned on without the puck. It doesn't have a hard wired switch unfortunately
:does it still work on you bro? cuz some people complain about it as after 3 months of using it died. any thoughts on this pls help I'm eyeing to buy+
Hi! Thank you for this video, you did great! Just a question, can you put the webcam on top of it?
Hey there, you can but it's pretty make shift. It depends on what camera you have and the Mount. A lot of people just end up double sided taping their camera to the light bar
Can I use it on the TUF GAMING VG249Q monitor? this monitor has extremely thin bezel. Can you please let me know?
Hi, i have a bezelless monitor, philips 275e2fe, and i'm still considering to buy a screen bar lamp because of its bezelless. What do you prefer between the baseus i-wok or this xiaomi one in terms of the bezelless? Thanks in advance
Sorry mate for the late reply. I'm not sure which Baseus light bar I have, but the one I have has a rubber pad on the place where it interacts with the front of the monitor. In my opinion that might soften the contact and you'll have a smaller chance of damaging the bezelless display. I hope that helps.
Can this lightbar be placed on iMac 2018 too?
Hey how long is the usb cable? My pc case is a bitto the right from monitor, maybe like 2 monitor lenghts to the right. Will it be long enough? Thanks
Oh the default USB cable that comes with it is only 1.2m? I got a USB cable extender to get it to reach my PC
Planning to buy this lamp but what is the correct way to ise screenbar?
nice video. how did you deal with the cable? did you just tie it together with all your other wires (e.g. monitor cable), and behind the monitor arm?
Ah, my monitor arm had a cable clipping slot which allows me to thread cables through it. The only bad thing is, I had to buy extended length cables so that it would reach my PC. haha
@@MinimalDeskSetups ah, I see. I’m considering to get a monitor arm too but I’m afraid of running into problems with wires.
@@user-it7lw3oi9q yeah, it's worth the investment. Being to adjust where the monitor is and how high it is is pretty important for ergonomics i guess. I think cable length is one of the problems you have to be wary of, most of the monitor arms come with an in-built cable management solution. So it'll help with that.
How does the brightness compare to the benq screenbar? If you use a light lux meter app on your phone and place your phone on the table, how many lux does it provide l? Benq gets you upwards of 500lux
Using the andriod lux meter app i am getting 545 Lux at max brightness - But that's only at the center of the cone where my keyboard is, if I shift my phone away from the centre of the light cone, it's roughly 200 Lux at the outer edge.
Great review, made me order one immediately, after installing it, I really loved it, but would you mind sharing if it still works on your setup to this day? I've read some users had their lightbars fail after 10 months or so.
Yep, mine still works. I've stopped using it though and upgraded to another light bar that comes with smart controls. We're about to drop a video on it so stay tuned! - just a tip about the Xiaomi Light bar that i've discovered talking to others, be careful when plugging it on and off too many times continuously - It might blow the circuit on the lightbar itself.
@@MinimalDeskSetups Hey, would you mind sharing which light bar that is?
Hello, thank you for your interesting review. Can this monitor lamp be used for streaming purposes? Meaning, as lighting for a better face quality duriing video conferencing?
Hi there! you won't be able to adjust it to light up your face during a video conference unfortunately, it doesn't allow for that much angle adjustment. For lighting up your face during video conferences, you might want to look at the elgato keylight!
bought this over the benq just for the simplicity of that remote, that looks top notch
Good choice, the benq is a little expensive IMO
Hi! Will this work on frameless monitors? And won’t the magnet part damage the monitor?
I’m using Asus ProArt and I don’t want to ruin it just because of these concerns. Thank you!
So how's it going with monitors lamps?
Just zipped my jacket and Im going to the store!
is there any manual buttons on lightbar incase remote breaks?
hi qq, does it remembers the last state? i.e if it was on when I unplug it from the power will it turn back on when I plug it back?
Hey, Yeah I just tried it - It does remember the last state.
@@MinimalDeskSetups great to know! thanks
Hey quick question about the lightbar because I was thinking about buying one, are you able to fit a webcam on the bar?? i would love it if someone who has the lightbar could answer my question. :)
Hey there's no proper way to do it, people use double sided tape to stick a webcam on it - so whatever works I guess haha
Is it possible to stick the wireless remote upside down underneath a desk for an even more minimal look? Would it affect functionality or change the battery in any way?
Yeah it's possible but you would definitely find it hard changing the battery and I wouldn't recommend it!
Hello again, I was wondering if it put strain on the monitor since mine is bezel-less and the back is not flat? Thanks
Hey - this would depend on how much the back of your monitor is curved? ultimately I would be careful about it just because the monitor screen itself is fairly delicate. I would test it and see.
Nice content
Thanks a lot :)
Nice video bro , but i want to know is the lamp suitable for the thin screen ? Because i'm using dell U2419h, the border is so thin, thank you.
Hey there, yeah I think with thin bezels it will still be okay, depending on how thin it actually is. The lightbar's mount protrudes onto the screen by roughly 4-5mms if the bezel is bigger than that it should be okay,
love the concept of this channel!! which light do you think has the better clamping mechanism? the Xiaomi or Baseus?
Thanks buddy. I would say the Xiaomi, Basesus isnt great with curved monitors. Many horror stories of it actually breaking curved displays with its clamping mechanism. Even it wasn't a curved display Xiaomi's design would be compatible with more monitors I think.
@@MinimalDeskSetups hey so i decided to go with the Xiaomi. Does your lamp flicker into a slightly different colour temperature when you turn the dial past a range?
@@dominichuah Not when changing colour temperatures. I heard flicker sometimes occur when you go past the max limit. I tried it on mine, but nothing happens when you keep turning the dial past the limit.
@@MinimalDeskSetups I switched to a different power source and it doesn’t flicker anymore!
@@dominichuah Ah maybe that's why mine doesn't flicker because I have it plugged into the USB adapter from the wall instead of going from PC.
What app are you using for the clock on the other monitor? Thanks!
Hey Jon, it's the WHA Quote and Clock new tab as a google chrome extension on full screen.
great review! Is it possible to control the light without the remote?
Hey buddy, not this particular light bar. For this light bar you need the remote!
Good review! How many millimetres does the bar cover on top of the front side of the screen though? I think it blocking even a minor part of the display would annoy me
Thanks Cedric! For my monitor, the lowest point of the monitor bar is actually above the monitor, so it doesn't actually cover the screen at all. In the event that you have a bezel-less monitor, the mount itself will cover roughly 5cm of the monitor at the point which it mounts onto the monitor but that's about it. You can see it from this picture I found on google.
i.ytimg.com/vi/qsEy_BpEt9A/maxresdefault.jpg
@@MinimalDeskSetups Thanks for the reply! I do indeed have a bezel-less display. I think you meant 5mm right? Not centimeters. That would be a perfect fit, thank you
@@caesix Hi, i have a bezelless monitor too and i'm still considering to buy this. Did you already buy it? How was it? Is it cover a little bit of the screen and also pressed to the screen? Thanks
@@johanesraphael2428 hi Johanes, I've bought it around half a year ago and I have enjoyed using it ever since! My monitor is around 1,5 cm thick and that's a perfect fit. I'm sure the clamb would also be able to handle thinner monitors though. From the front end on it also fits perfectly with around a 1-2 mm margin from the display itself, so it does not block any pixels. When placed on top the clamb covers about 7 mm of the screen. So it does depend much on how thin your bezels are if it would cause a problem or not. The functionality of the bar itself is great - dimming and adjusting the hue is done easily with the remote. It emits a pleasant light and for my own use I find that brightness is more than enough and the lowest level of brightness is very reasonable as well. Overal it feels sturdy and it was well worth the money. Personally I bought this particular one as the bar itself is symmetrical, because of the controls and because of the fair price. The only downside I experience, but I believe that would be with lightbars in general, is that even though my reasonably large 27" monitor is on a stand I still find myself looking directly into the light occasionally. That's not a major issue however and it could be resolved by either mounting your monitor higher or by just fixing your composure haha. On the other side, having a bar definitely saves some space on the desk. I hope my response helped and I would definitely recommend buying it ! :)
@@caesix thanks so much for the experience and review. Just ordered it this afternoon, mines come tomorrow. Hope that I enjoyed it like you do haha, thanks again for the answer, much appreciated🙏
I have two 27inch monitors, I'm wondering if I should buy 2? Also can one the handsfree controller control two of them at the same time?
Hi there! Apparently you can connect two monitor lamps to one controller, you just turn them on and then hold down the dial. One of our viewers managed to do it. I still just had 1 monitor lamp because when you buy two, it starts to cause glare on the monitors
Would i be able to swap the cable for a usb c to usb a bc i dont have enough ports on my mac mini
Oh Its USB A to USB C - The USB C side is the side that goes into the lamp.
Excuse me, where did you get your clock screensaver, please?
Great video btw, :)
Hey there's I'm using a chrome extension called WHA quote and clock here
@@MinimalDeskSetups thank you so much! 😊
Do you think one remote dial can control two at the same time? Working with a dual monitor setup and thinking of one each.
Hi there, we’ve tested a similar setup and unfortunately the dial is mapped to one specific light. So you would need to use 2 dials
Ahh...thanks. Would’ve been nice. Great production.
@@groncal thanks a lot! Appreciate the kind words, there’s more to come!
Can do a review on the keyboard as well? The one you using looks great.
Ofcourse! It's actually one of the items we want to review through a video as well. Looking to get Blitzwolf Keyboard video out soon too.
Just dropped our review on the video keyboard!
if you cut power to the lamp while it’s on, and reconnect the power, will it turn back on? may invest in it if i can use it with a smart outlet.
I think it will, Alternatively, you could just buy the yeelight version which syncs with their app and allows it to be controlled with all their smart lighting products like their smart bulb as well.
professional
Thank you!
Is the wireless control the only way to control the lamp? It's really cool... I just worry that if it malfunctions I won't be able to use the lamp anymore.
Hi there! Great question, yes the wireless dial is the only way to turn to control the light. There's no other switches. The build quality seems very good in my opinion so I don't see a big issue. But you do raise a great point!
That's funny, my packaging came exactly like yours. It's like AusPost beats up all 'Xiaomi light' boxes.
Yeah it's no good haha but as long as the light works right?
I buy the same product and iam very happy with it.
Thanks Mate
Would you tell me how to get it fast in the US? Can’t seem to find any reasonable choice, not even the one you put in the description. Thx!
Hey there, I don't many that ship locally in the US so you might need to take a look. If you urgently need one - you might want to look at alternatives that are locally available like the Baseus or the BenQ. But both are substantially different to the Xiaomi Version.
Hi, quick question, can i put this on my monitor if the back is curved?Btw great video!
Depends on how think the monitor is, but it was originally built for curved monitors, so it should work. I have it on my curved xiaomi 34inch monitor.
Hi Sam - what would you say is more value for money, the XIami Lamp with the additional brightness and colour features (with remote) or the Baesus without?
The Xiaomi one definitely looks better, but I'm wondering if it is worth the price difference.
Thanks
Hey there, that would depend on if you're using the light frequently enough to need those things. The remote is a nice-to-have kind of feature and it's also for the asthethics. If you're short on cash and just need something to light up the desk, the baseus will work in most cases. The only thing to be careful about is that the mounting mechanism for the baseus does not work for curved displays and will outright damage them in some cases. Whether or not you need the finer colour temperature control and brightness control comes down to a lot of factors like - whether you wear glasses with blue light filter? whether you take photography on your table? whether you have any other ambient lights etc.. I hope that helps!
do you know if you can connect 2 light bars to the 1 puck control?
Ah, I am not 100% sure but I think they are paired at the factory and there's no documentation that explains how the pairing process is done so it's unlikely that you'll be able to do it! I hope that helps
@@MinimalDeskSetups hi can be done I worked it out 2 light bars connected to the 1 control
@@trapstar1998 nice! how did you do it?
@@MinimalDeskSetups Hi I finally figure it out, so how it works is when you turn on the 2nd light bar, press and hold the knob control on the 1st light bar until you see the 2nd light bar flash 2-3 times and then it’s paired
How is the light powered? Is the cord usb c to usb c or usb c to usb a?
Hey there, it's powered through a USB A to USB C cord
@@MinimalDeskSetups thanks for the reply! How did you hide that cable though? Is it plugged into your pc or wall?
Hello,
i just bought the light and played around a bit with the remote, now the orange light mode is not working anymore. Anyone had the same problem and got an idea how to fix it?
Hi, are you able to clip on a Logitech webcam on top of the monitor lamp?
Not directly on, you'll need to double-sided tape the webcam or another way to attach it.
www.reddit.com/r/Workspaces/comments/jcmifg/for_those_wondering_if_a_screenbar_and_webcam_can/
This guy seems to stick it on - check the 2nd image.
@@MinimalDeskSetups wow! Thanks for the tips, it really helps 😊
what is the “ of your monitor, will it look okay with a 23.8”
These are 2 x 27inch monitors. I later upgraded to a single 34 inch monitor
Does monitor light like this really affect and reduce eye strain or just placebo? Honest opinion pls after long term usage. I work and game on my computer daily for long hours in my office area (with 1 long led light in yellow, idk if it's well lit or not, it's quite ok for me). If it really has effect on eye, im definitely gonna try it out. Thankyou for your opinion
Hey there! it depends on the ambient lighting as well. So if you're room was dark or the surrounding isnt well lit, then having a monitor lamp would really help and ease the strain on your eyes. But if the surround is really well lit with natural lighting or other lamps and stuff, then it wouldn't really improve the condiitons that much. Another factor to consider is if you had a desk lamp whether you would get glare from your monitor as well.
@@MinimalDeskSetups thankyou for the reply!
If the remote control breaks, how to control the lamp?
well I've bought it and now I wonder if I can make it a bit brighter)) It seems a bit dim on its maximum brightness
I found that when I used it with an individual power supply (wall socket USB charger 5V) it goes a bit brighter - but that's the max you can go without using lights to add ambient brightness to your environment.
@@MinimalDeskSetups Hm I don't notice a difference between the USB charger (5V, 2A) and USB ports on my Dell U2719D monitor - with and without BC1.2. All three looks the same :D Yes, I definitely need some other lights to be on :D this lamp is only 270 lumens.
Would this monitor lamp work with a monitor like the Samsung Odyssey G7? I would like to get this lamp, but I'm unsure if it would work with the G7 since it has that aggressive 1000R curve. Anyone got experience with this? :)
I don’t think it would fit a monitor that is thicker than an inch.
If my monitor has a thin bezel, can the light bar stick there or it gonna press on the monitor screen?
Oh I've had mixed responses with this one. It depends on which bezeless display it is and if the back of the display is flat. If it i flat then there will less pressure exerted on the front bezelless edge.
The mount can accomadate monitor up to 4cm thickness
best lamp ever
yep! there's some new ones that've hit the market like the blitzwolf BW-CML3. We're in the process of testing that one out as well
Can we please get a review of the Basues one too?
Hey Grace, yeah it's been on our list of videos to do - but it's still pretty far away from being completed. We'll probably have a written review of it completed soon. Is there anything you want to know about it right now? I can tell you here so you won't need to wait a long time.
hi! do you know how to disable this thing from turning on automatically?
Hi there, I am not sure if you can disable the knob from turning automatically, unfortunately. If you get the to max brightness and it starts to go back by step, that's usually a power issue - try swapping to a more consistent power supply.
I recently found an English manual that might be helpful
usermanual.wiki/m/4eb7a9da684e1f9ffa0f7166b4a37f24f6a59b647ee346f1a699166eadcbdba1.pdf
@@MinimalDeskSetups thanks for the pdf! what I find is that if I turn my laptop on, the lamp turns out automatically. I did a bit more research and there seems to be a monitor mode. I'll try that!
Whats the lights on the back of the desk?
That's just an LED light strip. I later upgraded to a Yeelight smart lightstrip 1S so that it can be controlled by the app.
Could I use this with a laptop instead. Idk if I’m willing to spend more money on a monitor tbh
Hmm interesting question! I have tried it but you probably could. I don't think it will add much benefit to your setup because the light will only be focused on your keyboard and not really your work space. Usually you would use the light bar to light up your table top, this is kind of negated when you put it on top of a laptop.
May i know what is your table dimension? Thanks.
My table is 180CM x 60CM deep - I hope that helps!
is it better than the benq screenbar?
Value wise - it is. But feature wise, I think BenQ has a few extra features like auto dimming etc
Beside the looks what's the benefit of using one? Does it really helps with eye fatigue or is it just marketing?
Well eye fatigues varies for everyone but for me being able to light up the desk is pretty important in reducing eye strain. You could achieve the same by having a table lamb but then you get hit by the glare of the light from the lamp bouncing off your monitor.
I own this light bar and when adjusting the brightness, mine does not go nearly as dark as yours...
Hi Marcus, that's strange! Sorry to hear, mine does go pretty dim and I've seen a few others that do as well. So potentially look to reach out to where you bought it from for a potential replacement!
Can you use this for a laptop?
Probably wouldn't recommend it, since your laptop is always being opened and closed + moved around - it would be quite inconvenient to always take it on an off.
Does it work with yeelight app
Hey Ayden. No, not this one, this one only works with the dial. You need the yeelight version for it to work with the app.
Will this fit a thicker monitor, say 5cm?
I think at 4cm it will be the limit. If anymore it will apply stress onto the monitor and potentially damage it.
Edit: I'm assuming you're talking about the top of the monitor being 5cm thick. If it's not the top but the middle of the monitor it won't matter.
Yeah 5cm at the top but it has a thick bezel so as long as the hinge can open up to that length I think it would work for me.
Hi. A question. So which color of light do you think is better for gaming purpose? White or yellowish? 😂
Haha - whichever one you want doubt it makes much difference. maybe white so you don't fall asleep.
@@MinimalDeskSetups Alright. Thank you! 😁
@@kucinghutan4514 no worries!
How to connect to Mi app??
Can't get it to start flashing (reset) no matter what I do.
For the light bar, It can't be controlled through the app. The yeelight version can be but the xiaomi version can only be controlled through the wireless dial unfortunately.
Can we still set webcam if we use this ?
I mount mine on top with some double sided tape and it works well!
what’s better xiaomi or baseus light bar?
Xiaomi in our opinion e.g. due to having full control of the colour temperature with the wireless dial. Baseus only has 3 colour temperature settings which are controlled by tapping the buttons on the light itself
hi what inch is your monitor
34 inch! It's the Xiaomi 34inch ultrawide gaming monitor :)
Did he say Baseus worth the investment in the end?
It's not worth and I would just pay a bit extra and get the wireless dial with the Xiaomi monitor bar.
Whats that keyboard @2:22?
Epomaker -gk96s with custom keycaps
what's your speakerrrr, thank youu
Audioengine A2+
Mine suddenly stopped working after 5 months. I read in the reddit forum that many people experienced the same issue after 4-5 months use
Did you use a different cable than the stock one?
I am getting to this comment really late - I am so sorry. But what I have to say might be important for other viewers. Over a while, there is a chance that the remote might de-pair with the lamp itself.
To fix this:
0) Ensure you swap in new batteries for your controller.
1) detach lamp from magnetic mount - (ensure USB C cable is plugged into the mount)
2) put the lamp back + at the same time - hold down on the controller!
The lamp should come to life after this
Here is a reference video - in this video the guy has the lamp on as default - but you can have it off and it will still work.
th-cam.com/video/D_ZgBGcKVCI/w-d-xo.html
Glad I found this light bar before I put down 4 times as much on the latest BenQ one. Just shows how greedy benq is, it's just a god damn light with cheap LEDs, no reason for it to cost 200 dollars lmao.
Haha yeah, we're testing the Yeelight version at the moment with the smart lighting features. -
Can you mount a webcam above it?
Yep, but you'll need to stick it on. They don't have any instructions on doing it.
Is this the 2nd Gen? MJGJD02YL
How about on a curved monitor?
Yeah it's made for the xiaomi 34inch gaming monitor which is a curved monitor. I am using it right now and it's doing quite well.
how to disbale computer mode?
Sorry what do you mean by computer mode?
what’s that keyboard 👀
Theres two keyboards in the video - the first one you see is the EPOMAKER gk96s with custom key caps. The 2nd keyboard is the Blitzwolf BW KB1. I hope that helps :)
At the end, I decided to buy a lamp instead..
haha it's not for everyone
"It's fairly easy to install, first, the light bar gets magnetically attached to the mount..." - bro, you didn't show us the installation of the mount...
There isn't much installation, you just put it on your monitor!
best light bar in 2023 and video is from 2 years ago :D :D
I'd say it's still the best value for money option!
Compensation for global-radiant LCD bleeding. Solution: *OLED, no need for a monitor lamp.*
Really wanted to love this. everything about it great but the magnet on it just isn't strong enough and it sits angular and drives me mad. had to get a refund through Paypal after a shitty back and forth with xaomi over aliexpress when they offered me $10 to compensate. bit of a joke imo.
Ah yeah, Is your monitor not flat at the back?
@@MinimalDeskSetups it is but that’s not the problem. Where the magnet is, it is faulty as it is always sitting angled in comparison to the top of the monitor. Drives me mad!
The sound is too low in volume. :(
Thanks for the feedback, we’re working on it! Check out latest Dream Desk Setup, hopefully the production quality has improved 🙈
