Strapping LEDs to the back of monitor? It's easier to just point ordinary desk lamp at the wall behind monitor.


My favorite are xmas lights (or the white variation) around the workspace. Nice warm diffuse glow.

I also recommend the compiz negative plugin at night time.


Same. I use a flexible desk lamp (also from IKEA), which is really useful to regulate the type of light I want. For computer usage, I just point it at my white wall, which scatters it uniformly around the screen. For reading books, I can just twist it in my direction to get more light.


I do something similar. I have a led desk lamp with a clamp [1] on it, and point it at the wall behind my monitor.
