Does daylighting ever cause excess heat or brightness?
Proper daylighting design with Sunoptics does not. In fact, properly diffused daylighting with high transmission values provides twice the lumens of florescent lighting per mmBTU. What this means is, proper daylighting is twice the light or half the heat of florescent lighting. While clear skylights let in direct sunlight, causing “a wandering hot spot” that cause excessive glare, UV damage and can interfere with electronic equipment, Sunoptics Prismatic Skylights utilize the power of prisms (over 4,000 per square foot) that allow for maximum light transmission while still providing 100% diffusion for a glare-free, flicker-free light source.
