This is awesome, your setup looks so clean and aesthetic! I'm wondering where the blue ambient light comes from tho.
Got a tip for us?

I recently got the Benq Screenbar, and I have to say that it makes the perfect addition to the setup. Unlike other monitor lights, the Benq screen bar allows a range of luminance to fit all your preferences and needs. I also love the wireless controller on the desk, as it makes it super easy to adjust the light whenever you need to. I have mine mounted on an Apple Studio Display and it does not block the webcam, which is a huge plus.

I have a trio of Elgato Keylights, which are expensive but super nice. They're very easy to control via the Stream Deck, their macOS software -- or, as I use them, via Homebridge.
If you want to go all in, I would highly recommend them. It's not exactly a "desk lamp" setup, but it is a "light up your whole environment without reflections" option. I have it automatically dim and turn yellow as the day goes on.

I say do your own warm led light strips cheaply like DayBetter LED Light strip! The application of lights behind the desk could add some cool lights that music app to control in smart phone app!
It likely will if it's dead center, but 1cm off to either side and it'll clear the camera.
Has anybody used the continuity camera mount along with the BenQ light bar? Not sure if the light bar would block the phone camera?
