Light tubes

Light tubes :- 



´Another type of device used is the light tube, also called a tubular day lighting device (TDD).
´Which is placed into a roof and admits light to a focused area of the interior.

Left:- Light Tubes Right:- Tubular day lighting devices harvest sunlight and transmit it through a highly reflective tube into an interior space at the ceiling level. 

´They do not allow as much heat transfer as skylights because they have less surface area.
´TDDs use modern technology to transmit visible light through opaque walls and roofs.
´The tube itself is a passive component consisting of either a simple reflective interior coating or a light conducting fiber optic bundle.
´It is frequently capped with a transparent, roof-mounted dome "light collector" and terminated with a diffuser assembly that admits the daylight into interior spaces and distributes the available light energy evenly.
