WELCOME!

Hybrid Solar Lighting, def'n: A roof-mounted solar concentrating device used to focus sunlight for transmission via fibre optic cables to rooms where natural lighting is desired. The word 'hybrid' comes from the secondary light source that kicks in when light levels from the sun are insufficient - ie. on cloudy days or at night.

Original Home Design w/ HSL Lighting to Basement

* Although an open-plan design furnishes adequate natural lighting to the above ground floors, the basement wants for a natural, central light source. HSL provides the solution.


Residential and Commercial Lighting Differences

Welcome Back,

Further readings on the benefits of natural lighting for people who are awake from dawn to dusk (I am getting closer to being awake during all these hours), leads me to believe that there are two major motivation camps for using solar lighting:

Camp 1./ Residential/Aesthetic/Light-Quality Driven

Camp 2./ Commercial/Supplementary/Energy-Saving/ Light-Quality Driven

Camp 1 wants all the variability of natural light - dawn to dusk, reds and oranges through full spectrum, dim to bright.

Camp 2 wants uniform light for working under, therefore light sensing devices that boost the available sunlight to preset levels of illumination.

More to come..!
