Perfecting daylight through innovation 954110 Solatube Company Folio v1.3.indd 1

Daylight. Pure and bright, it’s the most energy-efficient light source on the planet. It beautifully illuminates interior spaces, and drives human performance and satisfaction. It also cuts energy costs and minimizes impact on the environment. As a result, architects and designers have continually sought ways to incorporate reliable and consistent natural light into their commercial building projects without sacrificing thermal performance. Solatube International, Inc. celebrates 25 years of being the worldwide leading manufacturer and marketer of tubular daylighting devices. As the company...

The Solatube story began in the 1980s when a lone Australian inventor created a product that revolutionized the way daylight was brought into a building. Known as a tubular daylighting device, this product was a compact and leakproof alternative to traditional skylights. After being patented, it became the first Solatube product ever sold and the catalyst that transformed the daylighting industry. Since that time, Solatube International has continued to innovate with new and updated models; advanced optical technologies; daylight dimming, lighting and ventilation devices; and modular,...

Breakthrough Technology Solatube Daylighting Systems use a proprietary capture-transferdeliver process that brings the optimal amount of natural light into building interiors. By combining breakthrough optical technologies with progressive engineering, our products deliver powerful performance for any application. Maximized Capture Advanced Dome Optics Advanced optical domes capture daylight using proprietary rooftop technologies that harvest low-angle morning, afternoon, and winter daylight to increase light output. Raybender HD increases the harvest of low-angle light. Allows light in but...

Efficient Transfer The World’s Most Reflective Tubing Proprietary Spectralight Infinity Tubing transfers maximum daylight from rooftop to ceiling with minimal light loss and perfect color rendition. INFRAREDuction Technology features spectral filtering properties to provide maximum specular reflectance of visible light while preventing infrared light from entering the building interior. Spectralight Infinity Tubing Tubing made of the world’s most reflective material that: • Delivers 99.7%* specular reflectivity for maximum daylight transfer • Provides the purest color rendition possible so...

The Solatube Advantage While the individual components of Solatube Daylighting Systems are designed to perform at the highest level, they are also engineered to work together. Each part enhances the performance of other modules in the system to produce the most effective and advanced tubular daylighting device on the market. That’s the Solatube Advantage. Light Transfer Efficiency Light Transfer Efficiency (LTE) relates to the amount of light that travels through a TDD daily, seasonally and between multiple floors. Raybender and LightTracker Technologies in combination with Spectralight...

Photometry Solatube International pioneered the use of detailed IES photometric data files for analyzing interior daytime illumination of tubular daylighting devices (TDDs). A measure of the distribution of light, photometry is a critical element in developing a TDD-based solution that delivers highly effective and visually comfortable natural light to building occupants. Using relative photometry, light output from any Solatube product configuration can be simulated for thousands of weather data sites for any time of the year or on an annualized basis. The unique, highly advanced optical...
