Lamp Fit Planner

Measure your monitor or desk, then enter the limits printed in the lamp manufacturer’s specifications. The planner tells you whether your setup is within those documented limits — and flags anything that is not verified.

Dimensions are a screening aid, not guaranteed fit, mounting stability or lighting performance. Confirm with the manufacturer. No eye-health or therapeutic claims are made.

Result

How it works

All values are converted to millimetres. Monitor bar: your monitor edge thickness must fall inside the clamp’s documented minimum–maximum; curved monitors and webcams need explicit documentation. Base: a rectangular base is checked in both orientations against your free desk area; a round base uses its diameter. Reach: your needed horizontal reach is compared with the documented usable reach, not nominal arm length. Any missing number gives “Not verified”.

Worked example

A 20 mm monitor edge and a clamp documented for 10–40 mm on a flat monitor with no webcam: within documented limits. The same clamp on a 45 mm edge: outside a documented limit.

FAQ

Why do I have to enter the lamp’s limits myself?

We have not yet verified manufacturer dimension records for each lamp. Retail listings are often wrong about clamp ranges and reach, so the planner uses the numbers you read from the manufacturer.

Does “within documented limits” guarantee it will fit?

No. It is a screening aid. Bezel shape, rear bumps and stands can still interfere. Confirm with the manufacturer.

Does the planner tell me how bright the light will be?

No. It does not model brightness, glare or eye comfort.
