Solatube® Daylighting System

How It Works

Breakthrough Technology For a Higher Performance

Solatube® Daylighting Systems combine breakthrough optical technology with advanced designs and the highest quality materials to fill your living spaces with an abundance of pure, clear, natural light.

How Solatube® Works

From sunup to sundown, daylight is harvested by a specially designed rooftop dome that uses our proprietary Raybender® 3000 Technology.

The dome collects sunlight from any angle, selectively harnessing only the wavelength of beautiful, visible light while filtering out unwanted heat and UV which contributes to fading damage. It then redirects the sunlight through our highly reflective Spectralight Infinity Tubing and delivers it to you in spaces where sunlight was previously unattainable—like interior bathrooms, laundry rooms, and kitchens.

Solatube® Daylighting Systems make these spaces brighter to give you the light you need to see better, accomplish more, and live better. Solatube®… the brightest idea since the creation of the sun.

Capture

The story all begins with capturing sunlight. We challenged our engineers to develop a dome that automatically develop a dome that automatically harvests maximum available light during the day, even on overcast days or in shaded conditions, while still remaining extremely energy-efficient. The solution? The most advanced dome technology with the ability to actually collect and bend daylight to suit your interior needs.

Raybender Technology
Sunlight Capture Raybender

Raybender® 3000 Technology

A patented daylight-capturing dome lens that:

  • Redirects low-angle sunlight for maximum light capture
  • Provides consistent daylighting throughout the day
  • Rejects overpowering summer midday sunlight

LightTracker Reflector

An innovative in-dome reflector that:

  • Redirects low-angle winter sun-light for maximum light capture
  • Increases light input for greater light output
  • Delivers un-surpassed year-round performance

Transfer

How much does a single light bounce matter? You’d be surprised. Every time a ray of light is reflected, a small amount of that light is lost. And even a few percentage points in reflectivity make a huge difference in overall performance. It’s that attention to detail that led us to develop the highest performing tubing material available that is exclusive to the Solatube® Daylighting System.

Spectralight® Infinity Tubing

Spectralight® Infinity Tubing

The most reflective material in the world. Our tubing:

  • Delivers 99.7% specular reflectivity for maximum sunlight transfer
  • Provides the purest color rendition possible so colors are truer and brighter
  • Tube runs lengths of up to 30 feet to deliver sunlight to lower floors
