Elgato Key Light Neo — a compact face light for streaming and calls
A compact monitor-mounted face light for people who actually use a webcam. It helps organise a streaming desk without a large floor stand, but it is not the same purchase as a lamp intended to light the desk surface.

Who should consider it?
Key Light Neo is for lighting your face on camera. That is a separate job from lighting the keyboard or the wall behind a monitor. If you never stream or use video calls, spend the upgrade budget on a problem you actually have.
Check the exact version
Check how the monitor mount fits your screen and whether a webcam already occupies the same edge. Plan the USB power source before ordering; the highest brightness mode needs a suitable external supply.
Fit it into your setup
Position and diffusion matter more than simply selecting maximum brightness. Use a setting that looks comfortable in your camera preview, and avoid placing a bright light directly in your normal line of sight while gaming.
