SOLARSPOT
ITALIAN TUBULAR DAYLIGHT SYSTEMS
Natural daylight is the perfect source of lighting, essential for the function and continued health of humans and all other living things. However, in the urban sprawl of the modern cityscape, effective means of conveying natural daylight deep into buildings via conventional windows and skylights becomes a pipe dream.
The Italian-made Solarspot sun pipe/tubular daylight system provides a simple and effective method to deliver does not require expensive photo-conversion processes, providing designers with a realistic and effective alternative of delivering daylight in the built environment. The patented optical captor dome, in tandem with 3M VEGALUX surface technology, works to bring natural daylight deep into the heart of a building through the roof and walls where windows and skylights would otherwise fail to reach.
The addition of Solarspot tubular daylight systems to any building, new or existing, not only reduces energy use and carbon footprint, it provides a better working or living environment – leading to improved well-being, productivity and reduced absenteeism.
SOLARSPOT LIGHT CAPTURE TECHNOLOGY
SOLARSPOT does not hold the title of world's brightest tubular daylight system without reason. Every element of the SOLARSPOT tubular daylight system holds unparalleled reflectance and refractance technology, designed to capture even low-level light and funnel it down into your building.
The Solarspot Dome
The Solarspot dome is a transparent protection formed from anti-impact PMMA sheets, formulated for the maximum transfer of visible light (over 90%).
The dome itself filters out all harmful or useless UV radiations up to 400nm in order to preserve the quality of the dome's mechanical resistance and elasticity, as well as to maintain the clarity of internal components susceptible to UV damage.
The RIR Light Funnel
Every Solarspot has active light capture technology mounted in the top of the tube to harvest the maximum possible available amount of daylight.
The patented RIR technology works in three ways: Low level light (in the early morning and late afternoon) is redirected into the tube at a steep angle to force it through the tube more efficiently so less energy (daylight) is lost.
In direct, overhead light, the RIR 'funnels' the light to maximise its passage through the tube without obstruction.
On overcast days, light hits the dome from all angles so the RIR allows light from behind the dome to pass through whilst changing the angle to improve efficiency even more.

3M VEGALUX SUPER-REFLECTIVE FILM
A sun pipe is only as good as its tubing. No matter how much light enters the pipe, some of it is inevitably lost on the way down.
Solarspot uses 3M's special polymeric Vegalux super-reflective film, designed to reflect up to 99.7% of incident light, the highest level of reflectivity in the industry.
Vegalux also allows for virtual total reflection in the 400-800nm visible light spectrum; this allows it to maintain a Color Rendering Index (CRI) value close to 100% - virtually complete reproduction of the colour of objects illuminated by natural daylight.
Solarspot International
Solarspot International is a family-run Italian company that has been active in the field of sun pipes/tubular daylight systems since 1980. Many awards and prizes, performance and field verification certifications have been granted both in Italy and abroad.
