Lets ace it: chane isnt somethin that happens spontaneousl. Ater all, we didnt just wake up one da and

decide to revolutionize the dalihtin industr. Truth be told, chanin the wa people use dalihtin has

simpl been the result o our passion to challene conventional thinkin and nd a better wa to brin natural

sunliht to virtuall ever space.

When we started Solatube International, Inc., we challened ourselves to nd an aordable wa to brin

daliht into dark spaces where natural liht had rarel been an option. Our oriinal desins were revolutionar

and earned the praise o the media and the loalt o product owners all over the world.

One thin is clear. Our products are not sklihts. The are hih-perormance dalihtin sstems that use

advanced optics to sinicantl improve the wa daliht is harnessed. In a quest to tell others about this

antastic new invention, the market needed a name. Thus, the term Tubular Dalihtin Device was born.

Over the ears, we continued to innovate, addin optical technolo throuhout the sstem to capture more

sunliht on the roo, transer more sunliht throuh the tubin and eectivel diuse the liht in the buildin

interior. Once ou see Solatube Dalihtin Sstems, oull understand. The are remarkable.

Toda, architects and desiners are adoptin our Dalihtin Sstems to solve some o their touhest

sustainable desin challenes. While we alwa s knew that nothin could be more sustainable than interatin

natural daliht into a space, we are continuall inspired when we see new and excitin desins usin our

Dalihtin Sstems. Read on and discover the man opportunities or natural lihtin.

Redefne HarvestingTraditional daliht harvestin has its issues too much liht and heat sometimes and not enouh liht other

times. Problem solved. Solatube Dalihtin Sstems that eature Rabender 3000 Technolo use a series

o resnel lenses to harvest appropriate amounts o sunliht based upon the incidence anles o daliht.

Rabender 3000 Technolo delivers an Eective Daliht Capture Surace (EDCS) that is nearl double that

o a clear dome o the same diameter.

Harvest Low-Angled DaylightThis lens captures low-anled mornin and

aternoon sunliht and redirects it into the

tube to reatl extend our da. In the winter,

Rabender 3000 Technolo captures not

onl low-anled sunliht on the horizon, but

also redirects diused liht rom the sk vault

deliverin vastl hiher liht levels.

Superior Visual ComortNot onl does this lens help redirect low-anled liht, it also works to

temper lints b mixin liht in the optical tubin. This provides that livel

sunliht ouve come to expect rom a Solatube Dalihtin Sstem with

even more visual comort.

Reject High Intensity SunlightThere is such a thin as too much o a ood thin, and summer mid-da

sun is a reat example. When the sun is hih in the sk vault, there is

simpl too much sunliht and heat. This lens screens the over-powerin

and punishin mid-da sun and onl allows comortable daliht into

the optical tube. The result is a staerin reduction in solar heat ain

and a avorable reduction in bothersome liht intensit or improved

output consistenc throuhout the da and over the course o the ear.
