Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
The NatureBright Dia2 is a light therapy lamp that simulates natural sunlight to promote a positive mood. Using 66 LEDs, the lamp emits a soothing blue glow that accurately mimics the light of a summer day. Dia2 can be used to help treat seasonal affective disorder, to help adjust sleeping cycles, or to give you an energy boost during the darker months of the year.
Light Therapy Encourages a Positive Mood
Numerous studies have shown that natural light can have a positive effect on physical and mental health. When your eyes sense natural light, signals are sent to your brain that can trigger positive emotions and help fix mood imbalances.

Numerous studies have shown that natural light can have a positive effect on physical and mental health. When your eyes sense natural light, signals are sent to your brain that can trigger positive emotions and help fix mood imbalances.
Using 66 bright Nichia-Blue LEDs, the Dia2 emits 4,500 LUX of gentle blue illumination. This amount of light is optimized to perfectly mimic a clear, sun-lit summer day and to give you all the benefits of natural light. In fact, the Dia2 can be helpful in treating everything from seasonal affective disorder, depression, and low energy to jetlag, decreased sex drive, and even skin conditions.
Easy Treatment Fits Your Schedule
The Dia2 allows for easy, non-obtrusive light therapy that doesn't disrupt your everyday life. To use the Dia2, simply place the lamp on an elevated surface and sit about 20 inches away from the light, allowing it to bathe over your face.
Your eyes need to be kept open during the treatment, but you don't need to look directly into the light. In fact, many people engage in other activities while using the Dia2. You can exercise, eat, read, work at your computer, or watch your TV--all while reaping the benefits of natural light. Best of all, the Dia2 unit is compact and portable, so you can take it wherever you go.
Sunrise Mode Helps Adjust Sleeping Patterns
The Dia2 features a unique Sunrise mode, which simulates the light of a summer dawn to help improve your rest. Sunrise therapy (also known as Dawn and Dusk Simulation) has been shown to be effective in treating insomnia, jetlag, sleep cycle problems, and other sleep disturbances.
You can easily program your Dia2 to gradually raise the intensity of light prior to your alarm or wake-up time. The effect is a simulated sunrise, which allows you to wake up gradually and complete your sleep cycle naturally. For convenience, the lamp also has a built-in alarm clock to ensure that you wake up on time.

Amazon Vine™ Review
(What's this?)
I'll admit I have more than your average tiredness factor, because of chronic illness. So giving me a more energized start to my day is a pretty tall order. I am thrilled to report, though, that this light therapy device did just that!
I especially love the SUNRISE setting, where you can set it to gently increase in brightness over a set period of time (30 or 60 minutes, for example) BEFORE you are getting up. So if I would set my regular alarm for 6:30am, then I would also set this one for 6:30am, but with an hour of sunrise first. I almost always wake up before it's gotten to the maximum brightness, and then I just leave it on my bedside table while I watch the news and let it do it's thing. I put it the recommended 20" away from me, and I prefer it coming from the side, and not head-on.
The only warning I have about it is to make sure you are really careful about looking directly at it. I don't even look towards it.
I definitely feel more energized on the days that I wake up with my light therapy machine, and I've been experimenting with it for two months now to give it a fair shake either way. On days when I don't have to get up at a particular time, then I use the manual feature to let it run for 15 minutes when I do wake up. It definitely has made a difference for me, and I would recommend it to others.

My initial reaction to the Naturebright DIA2 was sort of like Indiana Jones' as the Ark of the Covenant was being opened by Nazi soldiers: "DON'T LOOK AT IT!"
Seriously, the rows of glowing blue LEDs seemed like they could burn holes in my retinas if I looked at them directly.
Fortunately, you can lower the intensity of the lights (though even at the lower settings, I find it very unpleasant to look at directly). As the instructions say you should position this about 20 inches away (so that it shines on your face), that makes it tough to find an angle in which the glare isn't too bad.
Tough...but not impossible. I found that putting the Naturebright just out of my peripheral eyesight (but still pointing at the side of my face) wasn't too bad. And darned if that bright "blue sky" light didn't make me feel a bit more chipper and energetic on grey winter days.
The Naturebright DIA2 has a self-contained rechargeable battery (which works with the included AC cord and power brick), which is helpful since you don't have to worry about cords when finding the best placement during use. And the "alarm clock" function seems to work well (though I haven't actually tried waking myself with it yet).
I'll continue to use it, and can easily see where people with seasonal affect disorder could benefit from its use. Just don't expect it to be something you can "set and forget" if it's in your direct line of vision.

(What's this?)
I got this for my wife who has been diagnosed with SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder). Not getting enough of the proper light seriously affects her mood in a negative way. This light really helped her. The following is her review of this product:
I suffer from SAD, and my dr recommended a light box to help my moods and sleep pattern. I've been procrastinating on buying a light box due to the cost, and not really knowing if it would be worth it. After trying the Naturebright dia via Amazon Vine, I can now say I would be willing to pay the price for this little gadget!
The light is sturdy, compact, and well designed. The instructions are sparse, but I was able to easily set up the sunrise and alarm features so I could start using it right away! I like the battery back-up feature, which comes in handy when you are traveling and don't have an outlet in a convenient location. The stand folds up to be come a protective case, making the light easily transportable.
The light sits on my bedside table, on top of a pile of books, and the stand allows me to place it at the optimal angle for shining on my face. I prefer to keep the light at its brightest, since I need all the help I can get when it comes to waking up in the morning. I tend to turn away from the light (subconsciously) as the sunrise gradually increases, so I find that I do need to set the alarm. The alarm is so gentle, but still loud enough to wake me up. I find myself waking up in a good mood, seeing that bright blue light, and hearing that gentle alarm. After hitting the snooze, I pick up the light and move it closer, to ensure I get a good therapeutic dose for about 10-15 mins before getting out of bed.
I know this is subjective, but I do find myself adhering to a better sleep schedule since I started using this light. There is definitely an improvement in my mood and energy levels.
Pros:
Sturdy, compact design
Battery backup allows the light to be unplugged overnight, yet sunrise/alarm feature works fine in the morning.
Adjustable brightness for both LED lights and LCD display
Sunrise feature
Optional gentle alarm
Cons:
Not bright enough to light a room (but I guess this is a good thing if you sleep with a partner)
Needs to be placed optimally to allow the light to shine on your face
