We’ve all done it, spent long hours at night working on a project on our computers. If you are working at night with no other lights on besides the light on your monitor your eyes can easily become strained. There have been many tests and studies that have confirmed this. There have also been studies on illumination around a display and they have concluded that back illumination of a display causes less eye strain and eye fatigue. I don’t know that many displays that offer this feature, so SoundScience has come up with a simple fix, the Halo 6 LED Lighting Kit. Let’s take a look at see what it’s all about.
Special thanks to Antec for providing us with the Soundscience Bias Halo 6 LED Lighting Kit to review.

The most useless review on the most useless gadget that I’ve ever seen. 🙁
a little late in responding, but I only recently came across these. I found it to be interesting. I had never done this before
with a TV. I never thought about doing this before with a TV. I read about it
on my rss feed (source: http://pocinc.net/blog/technology-news/backlight-your-tv-with-antecs-led-bias-lighting-for-less-strain-in-the-dark
) and it mentioned it was good for defining the “depth” between your TV and the
wall behind it, and that it lowers eye strain. I spend a lot of time behind the
PC at work, so eye strain is a common thing for me. I had already taken the
brightness down on the TV itself which helped a little. Then I decided to try
this out. It does create a cool effect around the TV and doesn’t seem to be
distracting. It does seem to relieve our eyes a slight bit. Who comes up with
this stuff? So many thinkers in the world.
