Solar LightingYou probably have seen and maybe even have solar lighting that is used to light up your sidewalks and highlight your shrubs and trees. You may even have a lighted address sign that is charged up in the sunlight and lights up all night.
But there are ways of directly lighting up the interior of your home using the sun's rays. You are probably familiar with skylights. Some homes I have seen with skylights in the bathrooms and kitchens, and some even have them in the master bedroom. This technique is also called "Daylighting".
Skylights provide natural light that is not only good for people but could also be good for your houseplants. They also make the house brighter and less cave like. And best of all they save energy! And then there is a solar lighting system that uses a reflective tube to capture sunlight on the rooftop and redirect it down into the interior spaces of the home. The tubing fits between rafters and has a diffuser at the ceiling level that spreads light evenly throughout the room.
