The popular AlzaPower LML-150 monitor light hasn't been cheaper for a long time. It costs only 1,124 CZK

A monitor light solves screen glare and eye strain, and unlike a classic desk lamp, it doesn’t take up space on your desk. The AlzaPower LML-150 has now dropped from 1,499 CZK to 1,124 CZK with code ALZAPOW25. This model is specifically designed for owners of curved monitors and boasts excellent user ratings and a low return rate.

Quick summary:
✅ Makes sense if you have a curved monitor 24–34″ and want to illuminate your keyboard and desk without screen glare.
⚠️ Consider if you have a flat monitor or if you mind that the holder just rests on the top edge and doesn’t have a pivot.
💡 For 1,124 CZK you get a metal body, CRI over 95, and a rotary remote control – a combination usually omitted by the cheapest lights.

Why this monitor light is interesting

This light from AlzaPower is aimed at people who spend a lot of time at the computer and want to illuminate their workspace without placing a lamp on their desk. The panel hangs on the top edge of the monitor, shines down on the keyboard and desk, and thanks to its 45° beam angle, it does not illuminate the display itself or shine into your eyes. Compared to a regular ceiling light, this reduces screen glare. An advantage over cheaper alternatives is the high color rendering index (CRI) of over 95, which will be especially appreciated by those who work with photos or graphics and need accurate colors.

Key parameters explained in plain language

The light has a power consumption of 5 W and a luminous flux of 275 lumens, which is more than enough to illuminate the area in front of the monitor. Brightness can be changed in 5 levels and color temperature in 4 values (3,000 / 4,000 / 5,000 / 6,500 K) – from warm yellow for evenings to cool white for focused work. By long-pressing the buttons, you can also adjust the values smoothly, not just in steps. The body is metal, 45 cm long, with a declared LED lifespan of 25,000 hours. The curvature matches curved monitors with a curvature of 1000–1800R.

Practical aspects: power, mounting, and control

Power is handled by a 1.5-meter USB cable with both USB-A and USB-C connectors, which is included in the package. You plug it into a computer, monitor, or docking station, and the light then turns on and off with the device. Those who work even after turning off their PC will appreciate the option to plug it into a standard wall charger. Also practical is the internal memory, which retains the last brightness and temperature settings. The light can be controlled in two ways: with touch buttons directly on the body, or with a 2.4 GHz rotary remote control (2× AAA batteries are included). One remote can even operate two lights.

Installation is done without tools in a few seconds – you hook the stopper onto the top edge of the monitor and rest the bottom part against the back of the panel. However, it’s fair to mention the main compromise here: the holder rather “rests” the light than firmly screws it in, and it doesn’t have a pivot. It holds well on the monitor, but if you move the screen, the light needs to be re-seated. Those looking for a firmly anchored solution should keep this in mind.

What users say

Feedback is above average – 4.8 out of 5 from 138 ratings, with 121 people giving five stars. Customers most often praise the rotary remote control (repeatedly mentioned as the best part of the product), accurate color rendering, and the fact that the light doesn’t glare. Many reviews confirm that the panel precisely follows the curved monitor and illuminates the keyboard area perfectly. This also aligns with the low return rate of 1.06%.

There are also criticisms, and it’s worth knowing them in advance. Besides the aforementioned mounting without a pivot, some people dislike that the on/off button’s LED cannot be turned off. Several users state that the automatic brightness is too strong, and therefore they don’t use it. The remote is plastic, and occasionally two customers complained about a stuck rotary dial – however, given the 1.06% return rate, this is not a widespread issue. Furthermore, with very wide panels, it can happen that the curved version slightly illuminates the edge of the display and highlights dust.

When it doesn’t make sense

This specific model is built for curved monitors with a curvature of 1000–1800R and a diagonal of 24–34″. If you have a flat monitor, the siblings LML-100 (39 cm) or LML-120 (51 cm) will be better, as they will sit more elegantly on a flat panel. The light also does not have RGB and does not offer fixed flush mounting – those who want decorative backlighting or an unshakeably anchored holder should look elsewhere. However, for classic work with a curved monitor for 1,124 CZK, it fulfills exactly what it’s supposed to.

Verdict: who it’s worth it for

If you have a curved monitor and want to illuminate your desk without glare and without an extra lamp, the AlzaPower LML-150 is a reasonable choice – mainly thanks to its metal body, CRI over 95, and well-designed remote control. Weaknesses exist (mounting without a pivot, constantly lit LED, strong auto-brightness), but these are minor rather than fundamental flaws, which is also confirmed by a return rate of just 1.06%. For 1,124 CZK with code ALZAPOW25 instead of 1,499 CZK, it offers a decent price-to-feature ratio.

Do you use a separate light for your monitor, or is a desk lamp enough for you so far?
