Natural lighting
Aurora Lite Systems has introduced a new way to funnel sunlight into buildings.
The Sun-Lite is a tube that brings natural light into any building. It is made from reflective aluminum pipe. A reflector mounted above the roof directs light down the tube into a translucent dome that diffuses it through the interior.
The company says the system allows natural lighting without the heat loss or gain associated with windows and skylights.
The units come in three sizes that can light areas of 200 to 850 sq. ft.
