BenQ Launches Flagship ScreenBar® Halo 2 to Redefine Eye Comfort for Professionals Working in the Dark
PLANO, Texas, June 3, 2025 /CNW/ -- BenQ, the pioneer of monitor lighting solutions, today launched the ScreenBar® Halo 2, its next-generation flagship monitor light engineered to deliver optimal eye comfort for professionals working in dim environments. Developed over four years, the ScreenBar® Halo 2 enhances workspace lighting through a powerful dual-light design that provides full front and rear illumination. Building on the success of its predecessor, the ScreenBar® Halo 2 introduces a Tri-zone Backlight Design that expands coverage by 423%, reducing contrast between the monitor and its surroundings to ease visual fatigue. The front light features BenQ's ASYM-Light™, an asymmetrical optical design with an 18-degree cut-off angle that eliminates screen glare and prevents direct light from reaching the eyes. The product's development was informed by a study conducted in collaboration with National Taiwan University of Science and Technology, which found that maintaining balanced ambient light around a screen significantly improves eye comfort. Backed by ANSI standards, the optimal luminance ratio of no more than 3:1 between the screen and its surroundings is a core element of the ScreenBar® Halo 2's design. "We know professionals demand precision in lighting," said JC Pan, Chief Product Designer at BenQ Smart Lighting. "That's why we've revamped the control knob, making it easy to adjust brightness (0–100%) and color temperature (2700K–6500K) on an anti-fingerprint coated panel—ideal for tasks like color grading or video editing." The mounting system also received a complete redesign. Inspired by the gravity-based mechanism of the ScreenBar Pro, the new zinc-alloy clamp supports a wide variety of monitors, from ultra-thin to curved, without causing damage. "It rests gently on the screen instead of clipping on, making it far more screen-friendly," said Judy Yang, lead mechanical engineer. The ScreenBar® Halo 2 comes packed with smart features, including auto-dimming, auto on/off, and memory settings for personalized use. Co-designed with MINIMAL Design, founded by former Nike Global Creative Director Scott Wilson, it features a sleek metallic finish that complements any professional setup. To celebrate the launch, BenQ is giving away 50 free units of the ScreenBar® Halo 2 across different regions. To enter, users simply need to complete a short questionnaire about their workspace habits. The giveaway is part of the #ElevatewithHalo campaign, where professionals will share how the product enhances their workflow and comfort. Since introducing the world's first monitor light bar in 2017, BenQ Smart Lighting has led innovation in professional lighting. With a mission to improve eye comfort and productivity, BenQ delivers intelligent, user-centric solutions for modern workspaces.

Erie's Public Schools and Zurn Elkay Water Solutions Announce Donation for Cleaner, Healthier, Safer Drinking Water
This summer Erie's Public Schools (EPS) will install 50 donated Elkay filtered bottle filling stations in nine elementary schools and convert all faucets at the district's Culinary Center, ensuring cleaner, healthier, safer drinking water. Donated Elkay filters are tested and certified to reduce lead, PFAS, microplastics and other harmful contaminants. Donation is part of Zurn Elkay's yearlong celebration of the 125th anniversary of the company's founding in Erie, home to 160 associates and three manufacturing and R&D facilities. ERIE, Pa., May 22, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Zurn Elkay Water Solutions Corporation (NYSE: ZWS) and Erie's Public Schools (EPS) today announced the donation of 50 Elkay filtered bottle filling stations, eight filter conversion kits and five years of Elkay filters for each of the donated units, ensuring consistent delivery of cleaner, healthier, safer drinking water to students, faculty, staff and community members. In an event at EPS's JoAnna Connell Elementary School, 1820 E. 38th Street, Mayor Joseph V. Schember, incoming EPS Superintendent Natalyn Gibbs, EdD, and Zurn Elkay Chairman and CEO Todd A. Adams celebrated the donation with a class of first-grade students. This summer, the donated units will be installed across nine EPS elementary schools, replacing unfiltered drinking fountains with one filtered bottle filling station per 100 students; EPS has four Elkay filtered bottle filling stations already slated for installation at the new Edison Elementary School, set to open in Fall 2025. Additionally, all faucets in EPS's Culinary Center will be retrofitted to Elkay filtration, using donated conversion kits and filter cartridges. "As an urban school district that serves roughly 10,000 students and their families, it is important that Erie's Public Schools is a leader in the charge to provide access to clean, lead-free water," Dr. Gibbs said. "We are so grateful to our partners at Zurn Elkay Water Solutions for their incredibly generous donation, which helps us deliver the kind of healthy school environments that students need to thrive." Elkay filters are tested and certified to NSF/ANSI 42, 53 and 401 to reduce lead, PFAS (PFOA/PFOS), microplastics and other harmful contaminants. Since 2012, the use of Elkay bottle filling stations has eliminated the need for more than 103 billion single-use plastic bottles. "For kids across the country, including right here in Erie, school buildings are more than just places for learning and social growth—they're also a vital source of drinking water," said Adams. "Elkay filtered bottle filling stations and drinking fountains are an immediate and cost-effective solution to expensive and laborious infrastructure upgrades. We are so proud of our Erie heritage and that is why we are making this donation to help ensure that students, teachers and staff members have access to cleaner, healthier, safer drinking water." The donation is part of Zurn Elkay's yearlong celebration of the 125th anniversary of the company's founding in Erie. In 1900, the ambitious 26-year-old John A. Zurn purchased the patent and casts for a backwater valve from the local foundry and set up shop in his mother's barn in Erie. His entrepreneurial spirit, quest for growth and commitment to meeting—and exceeding—his customers' needs formed the foundation of today's Zurn Elkay Water Solutions. During the week of May 19-23, the company is commemorating the milestone with employee celebrations at its more than two dozen locations across the United States, including in Erie, where more than 160 associates are based. "For 125 years Zurn Elkay's associates have contributed to Erie's enduring legacy as a city that balances its commitment to its people, the potential of its industry, and the preservation of its natural resources," Mayor Schember said, issuing a proclamation of May 22, 2025, as "Zurn Elkay Water Solutions Day" in the City of Erie. "We are fortunate to have such a successful business in Erie, and I wish Zurn Elkay many more years of continued success." "John A. Zurn had the vision and the drive to prevent contamination of water sources… but he didn't do it alone," Adams added. "He had a family, friends, partners and a community to support him, and we're honored to have been part of that community for 125 years."
