Sun tunnels are the coolest thing I’ve learned about lately. It’s a way to transfer daylight to dark spaces.

So bright, it helps a lot even on cloudy days (I live in PNW so we have a lot of those)level 2My parents have one in upstate NY where it is almost as cloudy as the PNW. It helps a lot. It is even noticeable on nights with a bright full moon as well. I thought there was a nightlight in the bathroom the first night we were there.level 2What is the termal reduction like?level 1Here in Korea we use it a lot in the underground subway stations.We’ve tried plastic plants for the looks – looked like shit.We’ve tried real plants with light bulbs – didn’t really work.Now we have real plants with sunlight.Looks beautiful and refreshing.level 2If you put plants underground they can still grow with one of these? There is no loss of UV light?level 2oh hello fellow korean. ㅎㅎlevel 2As someone living in Seoul, i did not know this. Neat! Thankslevel 2I sincerely hope this is the official industry termlevel 2Oh bless you, I was going to be grievously disappointed if no one had suggested this yet!level 1My sister has one in the bathroom I was forever trying to turn the light off!level 2Keep trying. I bet if you keep trying it would slowly turn off.level 1Don’t know why more office space don’t use these in the States. Seems like an excellent way to light a building, or I’m visiting older office space. I know big box stores use similar solar lighting. I also think ive seen some of these systems use a junction box of sorts with fiber cables moving light around as well as providing supplemented light at night with a single sourced bulb.level 2My guess is it’s more difficult to build than just regular light fixtureslevel 2Could totally improve people’s moods too from the added vitamin D
