Active light capture
Active Skylights, available exclusively in the UK from Ciralight UK, work by capturing available light and driving the light down into the building for up to ten hours a day, reducing energy consumption, improving people performance and providing environmental gains.
The active skylight is housed in a rooftop plastic dome and uses a GPS controller and a microprocessor that tracks and calculates the position of the sun. Light is reflected from a mirror array downwards through the roof via a highly reflective light well.
As the Ciralight product is built to convey light not heat, temperatures inside the building remain the same, making them suitable for refrigerated spaces such as cold stores.
