Looking for relatively quick,
doable home improvement projects
that won’t break the bank? You
can create a bright, cheerful home
just by changing the lighting. A
well-lit space can make rooms
appear more spacious, as well as
brighten the colors of your new
decor or accessories. As you begin
to plan your lighting, consider a
daylighting system that brings
natural brightness to all the areas
in your home.
These daylighting basics will help
you find the best system for your
space.
1. Daylighting systems bring true
natural light into your home
First, let’s talk about what
daylighting systems are, because
there are many lighting options
available today that claim to provide
natural daylight. These lightbulbs
that are labeled as “daylight” are
designed to mimic natural light as
closely as they can, but these bulbs
are not true sources of natural
light.
Solatube Daylighting Systems,
on the other hand, are designed to
capture the sun’s perfect natural
brightness and deliver it into indoor
spaces, like traditional skylights.
Unlike traditional skylights,
however, daylighting systems are
much more versatile to work in any
room in your home. They are also
leak-proof, plus more cost-effective
and time-effective than traditional
skylights that are built into the
home’s architecture.
2. Natural light reduces energy
use
Daylighting systems harness the
sun’s light, which means you’re
using less energy to light up your
home. If you’re environmentally
conscious and trying to incorporate
more sustainable living practices
into your day-to-day routine, adding
daylight into your home is an easy
and long-term solution. Because they
use less energy, daylighting systems
also cut down on utility costs. You’ll
save money even taking installation
costs into consideration in the long
run.
3. Daylighting systems are
designed to maintain brightness
even in corners
Traditional skylights can provide
natural lighting, but these structures
are limited and not possible for all
rooms in the home. New daylighting
systems can be installed for any
interior. Plus, the Spectralight
Infinity Tubing is designed using
the most reflective materials and in
configurations that allow all areas
of the room to be bright, including
hard-to-reach corners.
4. Accessories are available to
help your daylighting system meet
your needs exactly
Every interior is different, and
that’s why daylighting systems can
be modified with accessories to fit
your needs. Whether you’re looking
for a solar-powered nightlight
solution, a dimmer add-on or a
ventilation component for rooms like
the bathroom, there’s an accessory to
help your daylighting system work
for your space.
5. Installing a daylighting system
in your home is easy
The technology for daylighting
systems might be complex, but
installing one in your home is not.
Transforming your space with
a daylighting system only takes
two hours and requires minimal
structural changes to your home.
