Secretlab now has a lighting solution to add to its desk universe for those of you who are looking for a little more light without adding clutter to your desk space. Their new ErgoArch Monitor Light Bar attaches to Secretlab’s Magnus Monitor Arm for ease of installation for those of you who already have one. That means you can get just the right amount of light where you need it without having to take up additional desk space or rely on additional stands.
Secretlab launches ErgoArch monitor light bar with Nanoleaf support and VESA mounting for $179
The Monitor Light Bar attaches to your monitor arm with a 3-point adjustment arm. It is compatible with any VESA mounted monitor so you’ve got some freedom in how you want to place your light bar. The mount also gives you the ability to fine-tune the position of the light bar to minimize glare and eye strain for long work sessions.
Specifications
- Price: $179
- Color Temperature: 2700K to 6500K
- Power: USB-C

The light bar comes with a color temperature range of 2700K to 6500K. This will allow you to adjust it from being a warm ambient light for use in the evenings to a cool white light for working during the day. It powers using USB-C, so you won’t have a whole lot to think about with cable management. It also keeps things in line with a lot of your modern peripherals.
If you’re a smart home user, then you’ll be able to integrate your light bar with Nanoleaf for automated control. This feature will let you integrate the light bar with other smart devices or give you the ability to schedule your light setup for your workspace. You’ve got manual adjustment and smart integration, so you can have both static and dynamic lighting solutions.
The ErgoArch Monitor Light Bar is available worldwide now for $179 USD (roughly $179) from Secretlab. For $179, the ErgoArch is a pretty premium add-on for those of you who have the Magnus Monitor Arm or if you’re looking for a premium light bar to use with your VESA-mounted monitor.
With the new ErgoArch Monitor Light Bar, Secretlab’s offering up a new accessory for us to add to their lineup. It’s a nice focused lighting solution for those of you who have monitor needs in regards to ergonomic concerns and wanting adjustable light that doesn’t cause glare. If you already have a Magnus Arm, you’ll be able to add this as an upgrade to your setup. For everyone else, this will work with any VESA-compatible monitor.
Seventy nine dollars for a light bar is steep. I am waiting for a sale or a better price drop before I even consider it.
The Nanoleaf integration is the only reason this exists. If you are not using their smart home hub it is just an expensive LED strip.
