Do you have a curved monitor? Alza has a special light for them, now significantly discounted

Monitor lights solve an age-old problem of office work — a desk lamp shines onto the monitor and creates reflections, while ceiling lights are not enough. You can now buy the AlzaPower LML-150 for curved monitors with code ALZADNY25 for 1,124 CZK instead of 1,499 CZK. This is the lowest price since last November, and for owners of curved monitors, it is one of the few specialized options.

Quick summary:
✅ Makes sense if you have a curved monitor 24–34″ and want to illuminate your workspace without glare.
⚠️ Consider if you have a flat monitor — the cheaper LML-100 or wider LML-120 is more suitable for you.
💡 For 1,124 CZK, you get a light with CRI > 95, a remote rotary controller, and a 3-year warranty. A specialized version for curved monitors.

Why this lamp is interesting

Monitor Light Bars solve a situation that a desk lamp cannot — illuminating the keyboard and workspace without light falling on the screen. Thanks to a 45° beam angle, the light is directed downwards onto the desk, not towards the monitor. The result: no reflections, no eye glare.

To, co odlišuje LML-150 od běžných Light Barů, je zakřivený tvar přesně pro prohnuté monitory v rozsahu 1000–1800R. Běžná rovná světelná lišta na zakřivený monitor buď nesedne vůbec, nebo se opírá jen v jednom bodě. LML-150 má délku 45 cm a její tvar kopíruje zakřivení — v recenzích to uživatelé opakovaně zmiňují jako hlavní důvod koupě.

Light quality and CRI

A key parameter is the CRI (Color Rendering Index) with a value higher than 95. Simply put: the light faithfully reproduces colors as you see them in daylight. For graphic designers, photographers, and anyone working with colors, this is crucial — under low CRI light, for example, blue on your monitor might look different than on paper.

Adjustable light temperature 3,000–6,500 K covers the entire spectrum from warm (3,000 K, evening work) through daylight (4,000–5,000 K, standard office use) to cool (6,500 K, maximum concentration). Brightness can be regulated in 5 levels, continuously or in steps. The luminous flux of 275 lumens is sufficient for illuminating the space in front of a 24–34″ monitor.

Rotary remote controller

The feature most frequently highlighted by users in reviews is the rotary 2.4GHz remote controller. By rotating it, you change the brightness; by rotating the outer casing, you change the light temperature. You don’t have to reach for the monitor to adjust settings — you can do it from your keyboard. One user summarizes it: “The remote control is highly addictive.”

The controller is powered by 2× AAA batteries (included). However, users point out that battery life is shorter than they expected — some mention only 3 months. If this bothers you, you can use the controller with rechargeable AAA batteries. Touch buttons directly on the light are a second control option if you don’t have the controller at hand.

Practical aspects: installation and power supply

Installation is tool-free: you place the flexible holder on the top edge of the monitor and rest it against the back. Reviews generally agree that it holds well, but it’s only “resting” — if the monitor is significantly moved, the position needs to be adjusted. For height, it’s not a problem; the light weighs 580 grams and has a balanced design with a counterweight.

Power is supplied via a USB cable with USB-A and USB-C connectors (1.5 m length). You can plug it into a computer, laptop, monitor, or docking station — the light then turns on and off with the device. Alternatively, a standard USB wall charger is sufficient. However, the adapter is not included, so if you want to use the light independently of a PC, you will need your own USB charger.

Useful detail: the light remembers the last settings. After being turned off and on again, it will illuminate in the same configuration it was in. An automatic brightness mode is also available, which adjusts the intensity according to ambient light — however, some users criticize it as “too bright”.

What users say

On Alza, the LML-150 has a rating of 4.9 out of 5 (123 ratings) and 98% of customers recommend the product. Over 2,000 units have been sold with a low complaint rate of 1.06%. This is one of the best ratings in the lighting category on Alza. Users most frequently praise the precise matching of the monitor’s curvature, the wireless rotary controller, the glare-free light quality, and the price/performance ratio.

Specific quotes: “It fits perfectly on a 34″ curved monitor, illuminating exactly the space in front of the keyboard, which is what I care about most.” Another user: “I didn’t realize I needed it. A brilliant thing.” Owners of large ultrawide monitors (49″ and similar) report that the light works well even outside the officially supported range.

Critical voices are repeated for several details. The on/off status LED cannot be turned off — for some, it’s distracting. The mount is only “resting”, not firmly attached — it works, but lacks stability. Some users mention controller incompatibility between different LML series models, which is a shame if you want to combine them. And RGB backlighting is missing — if you’re looking for a light with color effects like Govee, the LML-150 is purely functional, not decorative.

When it doesn’t make sense

Pokud máte rovný monitor, LML-150 pro vás není optimální volba. Zakřivený tvar by se na rovném panelu opíral jen ve dvou bodech. Sáhněte raději po LML-100 (39 cm, 999 Kč) pro 15–24″ monitory nebo LML-120 (51 cm, 1 699 Kč) pro 22–34″ monitory — obě varianty jsou navržené pro rovné displeje.

Also, if you want RGB backlighting, smart control via an app, or integration with a smart home, the LML-150 doesn’t offer it. In that case, consider the more expensive BenQ ScreenBar Halo (over 4,000 CZK) or Xiaomi Mi Computer Monitor Light Bar, which offer more advanced features at a higher price.

Verdict: who it’s worth it for

Za 1 124 Kč dostáváte specializované světlo na curved monitory s prémiovou kvalitou zpracování, vysokým CRI, dálkovým otočným ovladačem a tříletou zárukou. Pro uživatele zakřivených monitorů 24–34″ je to jedna z mála voleb navržených přesně pro tvar jejich displeje. Pokud trávíte u počítače hodiny denně a řešíte únavu očí nebo odlesky, investice se vyplatí.
