Hello,

Has anyone heard of hybrid lighting.

Its a method(I think developed in Japan) where a big silver satellite
dish is place onto a roof then opric fibres tranmit the sun light and
transport it to room below. I understand that this reduces lighting
power consumption in large sky-scrapers.

I'm interested to use this in my house to bring sunlight into the east
facing rooms. I don't have the space to install a sunpipe but maybe
optic-fibres will do.

I'm interested to know if anyone has experience of this technology.

Many Thanks
Neil


Theres also a much simpler cheaper technology that does something
similar.

But it looks really stupid and only works on South facing windows.
