From the computer and monitor to the keyboard, mouse and other accessories, a lot of thought goes into putting together the perfect desk setup. But just like with a Windows license after a new PC build, there’s one crucial finishing touch a lot of people (myself included) tend to forget: lighting.

There are many ways to light your desk setup from having one of the best desk lamps off to the side to my previous personal favorite, attaching a lightstrip to the back of your monitor.
