US edition · Sources reviewed September 26, 2026 and September 26, 2026

THE DECISION

What matters for this pair

IKEA's bulb is a separate purchase, so include it when planning cost and light output. For the BenQ, check whether its controls and physical reach suit both your reading area and screen.

BEFORE BUYING

Check this carefully

Neither product's feature list tells you exactly how the light will feel at your own desk; check dimensions and placement before ordering.
