A practical monitor light from Alza has been discounted by three hundred crowns. It has fantastic ratings and can be controlled remotely

Monitor lights are no longer just for streamers. Anyone who spends more than a few hours a day at the computer will appreciate uniform illumination of the workspace without glare on the display. You can now buy AlzaPower LML-100 for 699 Kč with code ALZADNY30 – it was last this cheap last November. If you hesitated then, now you have a second chance.

Quick summary:
✅ Makes sense if you work at a monitor in the evening or in a darker room and want to reduce eye strain.
⚠️ Consider if you have a monitor larger than 27″ – officially the light is designed for 15–24″, although users successfully use it on 27″ as well.
💡 For 699 Kč you get a metal light with CRI > 97, a remote control, and a 97% recommendation from customers.

Why this light is interesting

A classic desk lamp takes up space and often shines where it shouldn’t – directly on the screen. A monitor light bar attaches to the top edge of the monitor and directs light down onto the desk and keyboard, without glaring at the display. The result is less contrast between the bright monitor and the dark surroundings, which reduces eye strain during long work sessions.

AlzaPower LML-100 features a high color rendering index (CRI > 97). This means that colors under this light look almost like in daylight – which will be appreciated by graphic designers, photographers, or anyone who works with colors. Most cheaper lights have a CRI around 80–85.

Key parameters explained in plain language

The light offers an adjustable color temperature from 3,000 to 6,500 K. In practice, this means: warm yellowish light (3,000 K) for evening work when you don’t need to concentrate as much, or cool white light (6,500 K) for maximum concentration during the day. In between, you also have two intermediate levels – 4,000 K and 5,000 K.

The power consumption is only 5 W, the luminous flux is 255 lumens, and the beam angle is 45°. The lifespan of the LED diodes is stated as 25,000 hours – even with daily eight-hour use, this means over 8 years of operation. The construction is metal, the light’s length is 39.2 cm, and its weight is 350 grams.

Practical aspects: installation, power, control

Installation is tool-free – you attach the flexible holder to the top edge of the monitor and rest the bottom part against the back. Officially, the light is designed for 15–24″ monitors, but multiple users confirm that it works fine on 27″ panels as well. For larger monitors (32″+), however, we recommend the longer LML-120 model.

Power is supplied via USB (1.5 m USB-A/USB-C cable included). You can plug it directly into your monitor, docking station, or PC – the light then automatically turns on and off with your computer. It can be controlled either by touch buttons directly on the light or by the included wireless remote control (2.4 GHz). The light remembers the last settings.

What users say

On Alza, the light has a rating of 4.8 out of 5 (100 ratings) and 97% of customers recommend it. Over 2,000 units have been sold with a return rate of only 1.1%. Users most often praise the quality metal craftsmanship, wide range of temperature and brightness settings, and the fact that the light doesn’t glare but illuminates the workspace well.

Several reviewers mention that the remote control is smaller than it appears in photos, and that in product images it looks like a rotary dial, even though it’s just a button. Turning it off is done by double-clicking instead of a single press, which some find unintuitive. Another minor complaint: the CR2032 battery for the remote is not included, even though the manual states otherwise.

A few users point out the placement of the USB connector, which can limit the ability to tilt the light downwards – if you need to illuminate the keyboard more than the monitor, you might need to experiment a bit with its position. The automatic brightness mode based on ambient lighting works, but not always exactly as expected – most users prefer to adjust the brightness manually.

When it doesn’t make sense

If you have a monitor larger than 27–28″, consider the longer LML-120 model (51 cm) or the LML-150 version for curved monitors. For ultrawide panels, the 39cm light will be insufficient. Similarly, if you expect the light to primarily illuminate documents in front of the monitor – the design is optimized more for illuminating the monitor and keyboard, not for reading paper documents.

Verdict: who it’s worth it for

For 699 Kč (Black Friday price), you get a metal light with CRI > 97, a remote control, and one of the best ratings in its category. It’s a reasonable choice for anyone who works at a computer for several hours a day and wants to reduce eye strain without taking up desk space. Graphic designers and photographers will appreciate the accurate color rendering, while regular users will value the ease of control and automatic power-on with the PC.

Do you use a monitor light, or is a classic desk lamp enough for you?
