2. Light tube - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_tube

   [19] [20] The optic fibers in this system are made of PMMA (PolyMethyl MethAcrylate) and sheathed with Megolon, a halogen-free thermoplastic resin. A system such as this, however, is quite expensive. [21] The Parans system [22] consists of three parts. A collector, fiber optic cables, and luminaires spreading the light indoors. One or more ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remote_Skylights

   Remote Skylights are optical systems capable of providing natural light to unlit locations. An arrangement of parabolic reflectors and optical fiber cables, transport natural sunlight to areas that would otherwise be dark or be lit artificially. Remote skylights are composed chiefly of a solar collection dish, a "heliotube" and a distribution ...

4. Daylighting (architecture) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylighting_(architecture)

   Skylights are widely used in daylighting design in residential and commercial buildings, mainly because they are the most effective source of daylight on a unit area basis. An alternative to a skylight is a roof lantern. A roof lantern is a daylighting cupola that sits above a roof, as opposed to a skylight which is fitted into a roof's ...

5. Skylight - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skylight

   Solar tubes, sun tunnels, or tubular skylights consist of a roof-mounted fixed unit skylight element, condensing sunlight, distributed by a light conveying optic conduit to a light diffusing element. [3] Being small in diameter, they can be used for daylighting smaller spaces such as hallways, and bounce light in darker corners of spaces. TDDs ...

6. Passive solar building design - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_solar_building_design

   Skylights on east-facing roofs provide maximum direct light and solar heat gain in the summer morning. West-facing skylights provide afternoon sunlight and heat gain during the hottest part of the day. Some skylights have expensive glazing that partially reduces summer solar heat gain, while still allowing some visible light transmission.

7. Outline of solar energy - Wikipedia

   Hybrid solar lighting (HSL) – or hybrid lighting systems combine the use of solar with artificial light for interior illumination by channelling sunlight through fiber optic cable bundles to provide solar light into rooms without windows or skylights, and by supplementing this natural light with artificial—typically LED—light as required.
