Vayuvent Day lighting system:-Light tube Day lighting designed on Shade of


Industrial to maximize visual comfort and to reduce electrical energy use. Day
lighting can be customised for all buildings/Industrial/Factory/Werehouse.
Solatube Daylighting Systems are known as Tubular Daylighting Devices (TDDs).
Solatube captures sunlight using a rooftop dome, then transfers the light indoors
through a reflective tube that runs from the roof to the ceiling. From there, the
light is evenly dispersed into the interior space using a diffuser. While Vayuvents
tubular daylighting devices are sometimes referred to as “tubular skylights” “sun
pipes” and “light tunnels”. Solatube Daylighting Systems are more advanced and
complex than these names imply. They are the only high-performance daylighting
device that use patented optical technologies to significantly improve the way
daylight is harnessed and delivered to interiors. Unlike traditional skylights, they
do not require reframing, dry walling, tunneling, or repainting or days to install.
Instead, they can be installed in about two hours with little mess or disruption,
and at a fraction of the cost.

PAYBACK CALCULATIONS

Payback calculation is worked out in comparison to Electrical


Lighting

Energy Savings: Typical 760 mm diameter Day Tube lumen output is


20,000
lumens.

Electrical lighting wattage equivalent to 750mm diameter Day Tube -


475w

Electrical Energy savings per year is

1 Day Tube * 0.475 kw * 10 hrs/day * 365 days * Rs. 7.00/kwh


= Rs. 12,136.25

Maintenance cost savings:


Considering bulb replacement & other costs.
Total w * Rs/w = 475 * Rs. 5
= Rs.2375
2) Tubular Skylight
Natural light increases worker productivity, helps individuals and teams perform
better and improves health and wellbeing of people in general. It is also known
that sunlight causes the human brain to produce more of the mood elevating
chemical called Serotonin.
We cater to a wide spectrum of natural lighting needs by offering customized
solutions. In fact, the choice of the type and size of Skylight Tube is guided by the
natural lighting requirement of each individual or entity.
The Light Tube constitutes of the following
Light Collector: -Light collector is a dome shaped structure highly durable, UV
resistant, Inflammable polymeric material Light collector that captures sun Light
from multi direction and redirects in to the duct below. Light collector can be
installed in south side of the building.
Reflective System: -Corrosion resistant High reflectance coating transfers above
90% of light without colour shift . It increases light input at low angles for greater
light.
Output Light Diffuser: -The diffuser is moulded in a dome shaped diffuser
disperse the light uniformly without any bright spot with light transmission not
less than 90%
Hybrid sizes: -Hybrid sizes are available from 600mm dia to 300mm dia
Light control: -Dimmer is available to control brightness with different diffuser
options Bends: -Reflective system is available with 45⁰ & 90⁰bends
Maxima ADSL:-Maxima ADSL is a prismatic Skylights that could replace the
Strip/Roof lights in Industries. Compared to the Strip/Roof light sheets, these day
lighting products are easy to maintain, with reduced heat generation and better
light diffusion, transmission and dispersion.
Working Principle: -Maxima Skylights is a Double/Triple glazing passive Solar Day
lighting system made of high-performance prismatic lens with a light diffuser
delivering exceptional daylight to indoor spaces. The Maxima Skylight’s constitutes
of the following
Light Diffuser: -The diffuser is moulded in a barrel shaped structure with highly
durable, UV resistant, Inflammable Pigmented Polycarbonate Light diffuser
disperse the light uniformly without any bright spot.

Double glazed system: -


Outer Glazing: - clear Prismatic polycarbonate lens.
Inside Glazing: - Pigmented Polycarbonate Light diffuser.

frequently Asked Questions:

How does the Tubular Skylight work?


A: Natural Light Tubular Skylights operate completely on the sun's solar
energy. No wiring or switches - just free light with all the positive benefits of
natural lighting. The high-impact acrylic dome captures sunlight on the roof
during the daylight hours. Sunlight captured by the dome bounces through a
patented 98% reflective, mirror-like tube. The light pipe reflects sunlight into
your Industry, even in early morning or late afternoon.

Is it safe? Won't I be exposing my children to the harmful UV Rays?


A: The sunlight captured by the dome, travels through an extremely
reflective, mirror-like tube. Sunlight does enter your home but the harmful
UV Rays are filtered out. The slightly arced prismatic surface of the light
fixture evenly disperses sunlight into your home - no hot spots. Harmful UV
rays are filtered out and fading on clothing, furniture and carpets is
eliminated.

Will my home temperature be affected by installing a Tubular Skylight?


A: Natural Light Tubular Skylights operate with virtually no heat gain unlike
traditional skylights. As the sunlight travels through the light pipe it passes
through the exclusive Energy Conservation Kit. The kit incorporates thin,
clear polycarbonate lenses that improve the U-factor and Solar Heat Gain
Coefficient.

Is the Tubular Skylight difficult to install?


A: You may think so but in actuality, you can install this skylight in just two
hours. The kit comes with all the hardware you need to begin installation
immediately. Installation requires no painting, no wiring or structural
changes.
