Clamp-on asymmetrical LED bar that throws over 1000 lux onto your desk, keeps the screen glare-free, and uses an ultrasonic sensor plus USB-C power to replace bulky desk lamps.

I’ve run the ScreenBar Pro every day since June and it has permanently replaced the task lamp on my main desk. The asymmetrical optics still throw a measured 1000+ lux down the middle of a 33-by-20-inch workspace while my 32-inch monitor stays glare-free, and the touch-sensitive dimmer plus 2700K-6500K color slider make it easy to match daylight or late-night sessions. The ultrasonic sensor remains the secret weapon: sitting within roughly two feet brings the light up with a gentle fade, and it shuts off five minutes after I leave so it never burns overnight. The revised clamp handled both my flat panel and a borrowed 1000R curved display without wobble, and USB-C power lets it sip directly from my monitor hub instead of adding another wall brick. It’s a spendy upgrade and the motion sensor occasionally trips when someone walks behind the chair, but the combination of eye comfort, freed desk space, and zero flicker fatigue keeps it in my "can’t go back" category for 2025.

Asymmetrical LED monitor light delivers 1000+ lux to your desk without screen glare. Ultrasonic sensor auto-on/off and USB-C power replace bulky desk lamps.

Polished-aluminum LX arm supports wide travel, 360° rotation, and up to 25 lb monitors, freeing desk space while dialing in ergonomic alignment.

My LX arm has survived two apartment moves and countless monitor swaps, and it still feels brand new. The polished aluminum arm easily supports my 32-inch 4K display without sagging, and the spring tension adjustments let me dial in the exact counterbalance so the monitor floats with two fingers. I routinely pivot the screen vertical for code reviews, swing it out for pair programming, or shove it back to free desk space—every hinge still moves smoothly with zero wobble. Installation took about 15 minutes with the included clamp, and the built-in cable channel keeps my USB-C and power leads hidden. It’s a premium arm and you need clearance behind the desk, but the stability and flexibility have made it the best ergonomic upgrade in my office.

Durable, full‑strip desktop stapler in a classic design for everyday office use.

Yes, it’s the Office Space stapler—and yes, the Swingline 747 still earns its keep on my desk. The all-metal mechanism drives up to 25 sheets cleanly without jamming, the full-strip magazine is easy to reload, and the locking anvil lets me switch to temporary tacking when I’m organizing workshop handouts. The red enamel finish brightens the workspace and survives scuffs from gear bags when I take it onsite. After three years, the spring still feels strong and the base padding keeps it from sliding. It’s not glamorous, but it’s the stapler I hand to coworkers when the cheap plastic ones fail.

Iconic red desktop stapler with all-metal mechanism. Staples up to 25 sheets reliably with full-strip magazine and locking anvil for temporary tacking.
