Residential: DayLiteT Tubes

8" & 12" DayLiteT  Tube
Fill the room with healthy, natural light. And, save energy, which will also save you money!

The DayLite Tube is a highly reflective, cylindrical skylight, that runs from the roof down into a room providing the luminance of full spectrum lighting. Sunlight enters the tube through a clear acrylic dome. The inner prismatic lens ("fly-eye") captures the light from all angles and collimates it down the reflective tube, to be evenly spread through out the room via a second prismatic diffuser lens.

On sunny days, the DayLite Tube can provide the equivalence of 738 Watts of incandescent light. Even on cloudy days, the DayLite Tube can provide 100 to 180 watts of luminance.

Tap in to the free light source. Effective use of our most natural energy resource on this planet, the sun, ensures there is less depletion of the ozone layer and prevents air pollution.
