Are there any plans that use mirrors to light up the inside of a house with sunlight?

Asked by Ltryptophan (12091points) November 17th, 2010

Does anyone have any resources on natural lighting sources? Even fiberoptic light transfer would be of interest. Have any links?

there’s a skylight tube that’s about 9 inches in diameter with reflective coating that I have seen at eco-trade fairs.

@zenvelo if you see it again, I hope you think back and update, otherwise I’ll look out for it. Thanks.

I saw this solar light tube at a home improvement show.

And this converted missle silo home has some of the best looking lighting I’ve ever seen. It’s amazing how natural the light looks in the underground part of the home.
