Yes, a table lamp would do the same, but it would also throw shadows if placed to the side, and also glare on the monitor as a reflection.

The lightbar uses asymmetric light pattern so it illuminates just the desk infront the monitor, but doesn't shine on the screen itself whatsoever...

It looks nice as well when the lights are off in the room and you are sat at the PC...

But why does it sell for over $100?

This is easily duplicated with a 3d printer, about 90 cents in filament and a 62 cents worth of LED ribbon from Amazon.

Amazing.
