Minuses:
Blue light as a sunrise is not bright enough to fully light up a room but if you have it positioned so it shines on you and you are easily woken by light, this will work fine (could be a plus if you share a room as it may not disturb your partner or roommate)
Blue light shuts off after 15 minutes of use. This can be annoying if you want to use it for a longer period of time because you have to keep turning it back on.
If you are new to using a sunlight supplemental device, it can be tricky to find the correct position so that the light shines on your face but does not blind you. (Remember you are not supposed to stare at it!)
It would have been nice if the device included an AM/FM radio or nature sounds as an option for use with the sunrise alarm
Slightly expensive in comparison to other desktop light therapy devices, but it does double as an alarm clock
Summary:
I started using this light at my desk at work to help brighten my day and lift my spirits during the gray days of winter and rainy spring season. I would turn it on in the morning and let it shine on my face. It was nice and bright producing a blue glow that did draw some extra attention to my desk. Just as I was settling in and enjoying my session it would end. That is my biggest complaint for this light in comparison to others I have used. It shuts off after 15 minutes and I need more than just 15 minutes to get me stimulated and energized in the mornings, especially when it is awful looking outside (I am surrounded by large office windows which show nothing but gray clouds and rain droplets). However, this is not that big of a deal when all you have to do is push the light button and it will come right back on for another 15 minutes. I love the size of this light and the fact that the stand also doubles as a cover which protects the light during transportation. I also use it in the mornings at my home for the sunrise effect. I do not like alarm beeps or loud sounds that jolt me awake, so I use only the sunrise function and wake up very peacefully, but I am a light sleeper and wake up easily to light. If you are not a light sleeper who is sensitive to light, the sunrise will probably not wake you and you will want to use it with the alarm sound. It is too bad the Dia2 does not have more alarm sound options but I suppose it would cost more if it included more options. This light is a pretty basic sunlight alarm clock, but is uses blue light which has many healthy benefits including treating symptoms of winter blues and resetting your circadian rhythm. I think it is a great dual function light and would recommend it for someone who would like a portable device for blue light therapy as I think this is the function most people will find most useful.
