The popular monitor light has never been cheaper. AlzaPower LML-120 now costs less than 1,200 CZK

Looking for a practical way to illuminate your workspace without shining light into your eyes? A monitor light is a clever solution. The popular AlzaPower LML-120 model has now dropped from 1,699 CZK to 1,179 CZK, which is its lowest price to date. More than 5,000 units have been sold in total, and users have given it an average rating of 4.7/5.

Quick summary:
✅ Makes sense if you work at a monitor in the evening or in a darker room and want to illuminate your desk without dazzling your eyes.
⚠️ Consider if you have a monitor with a very thin bezel — the mount might slightly interfere with the image.
💡 At 1,179 CZK, this is the lowest price we’ve recorded for this light, and you get a metal design and a three-year warranty.

Why this light is interesting

A classic desk lamp takes up space and often shines where it shouldn’t — for example, onto the monitor, causing reflections. The AlzaPower LML-120 monitor light solves this problem: it illuminates the keyboard and the area in front of the monitor, but doesn’t shine into your eyes or onto the display. A comparison with the market is also interesting — many users pit it against the more expensive BenQ ScreenBar and agree that for roughly a third of the price of the branded solution, you get a comparable result in terms of illumination.

Key parameters explained simply

The most important is the color rendering index CRI > 95, which means that the light distorts colors only minimally and approximates daylight — this will be especially appreciated by people who work with photos or graphics. You can set the color temperature from 3,000 K (warm evening light) to 6,500 K (cool for concentration); the brightness has five levels, and both can be changed smoothly or in steps. The metal body measures 51 cm, making it suitable for monitors with a diagonal of 22–34″.

Power is handled by the USB cable (1.5 m, USB-A to USB-C) included directly in the package, so you can plug the light into your computer, monitor, or docking station, and it will turn on automatically with your PC. It also features a memory function that retains the last settings, automatic brightness adjustment based on ambient light, and a two-hour timer. A practical detail for two monitors: one controller can be paired with two lights simultaneously.

Practical aspects: mounting, control, real-world use

Installation is tool-free and done in moments — you attach the light to the top edge of the monitor with a stopper, and the bottom part of the mount rests against its back, with a weight at the back keeping the entire bar stable. You can control it using touch buttons directly on the body or with the included rotary remote controller, for which 2× AAA batteries are included in the package. Turning the dial changes brightness, turning the casing changes color temperature — in practice, it’s intuitive and you always have control at hand.

In real-world use, it serves as supplementary workspace lighting, not the main light source in the room. It illuminates the area in front of the monitor and the keyboard, but does not create reflections on the display, which is exactly what you expect from a monitor light. A consumption of 5 W and a lifespan of 25,000 hours mean you can leave it on all day without worrying about your electricity bill.

What users say

On Alza, the light has a rating of 4.7 out of 5 (134 ratings), 94% of customers recommend it, and with over 5,000 units sold, it maintains a low complaint rate of 0.96%. The most frequent praises are directed at the fact that it doesn’t shine into eyes or onto the monitor, its metal and high-quality-feeling construction, and the convenient remote control with automatic brightness adjustment. Several people state that it has fully replaced their classic desk lamp and saved space on their desk.

Criticism focuses on two points, and it’s fair to know them beforehand. For monitors with very thin bezels, the mount might interfere with the image or press on the panel — users solve this by shimming it with cardboard or a 3D-printed spacer. The second complaint concerns the remote controller, which feels more plastic than the light itself and started malfunctioning after a few months for several units. It was also mentioned that the maximum brightness is rather low, so it’s not enough on its own to illuminate a really large desk.

When it doesn’t make sense

If you have a monitor with an ultra-thin bezel and don’t want to shim anything, the mount interfering with the image might irritate you — in such a case, consider a variant for curved monitors or a different mounting type. It also won’t suit people who need strong light for their entire desk, for example, for drawing or reading documents away from the monitor, because this is supplementary lighting for the computer, not a replacement for overhead lighting. And if you’re looking for a light that also shines behind the monitor as bias lighting, this model doesn’t do that — it cannot be rotated 180°.

Verdict: who it’s worth it for

The AlzaPower LML-120 is a sensible choice for anyone who spends hours at a monitor and wants to illuminate their desk without glare and without reflections on the display. At 1,179 CZK, it’s the lowest price we’ve seen for it, and with it, you get a metal body, a wireless controller, CRI > 95, and a three-year warranty. If you don’t have an extremely thin bezel and don’t expect it to illuminate the entire room, it’s an honest alternative to branded models that are three times more expensive.

Do you use a desk lamp for your computer, or have you already switched to a light directly on your monitor?
