10 Minute Monitor Ambient Light

Ambient lights help with eye strain and glare from overhead lights. This is a simple light you can install in 10 minutes and should cost less than $20. There are other (more expensive) LED shelf lights you can get from IKEA but I had an old one lying around I wasn’t doing anything with.

First step is to take the shield off the light so it’s more even.

Get some key hooks and hang them on the back of your monitor.
