Sun Lighting at Night
Enjoy bright natural light by day and soft solar-electric night lighting after dark.
Solatube® the leader in tubular daylighting systems has just introduced their newest innovation, the Solatube ISn System – that features a built-in, solar-powered nightlight. This fully contained photovoltaic (PV) system is mounted inside our reflective tubing, where it captures and stores solar energy, then converts it into electricity to power the soft, low-wattage nightlight. This unique capability lets you bring the beauty of natural light into your home during the day, while making it safer and easier to navigate hallways, kitchens, bathrooms and stairwells at night.
The new system rethinks the traditional nightlight, first capturing the sun’s energy to power it, then moving the nightlight from the floor level to the ceiling for greater functionality and improved nighttime safety. It’s not brighter, just smarter.”
Because both the daylighting system and the built-in nightlight harness the power of the sun, they require no electricity and cost nothing to operate. Best of all, this energy-producing capability qualifies the daylighting system for a 30% federal tax credit on purchase and installation.
For customers who are cost sensitive, the tax credit will provide a price point that offers greater value when combined with the savings inherent to using an electricity-free daylighting system.
