Solatube International Inc., the world’s leading manufacturer and marketer of tubular skylights, announced the release of the next generation of its Brighten Up® Skylight Series, featuring expanded design options, enhanced thermal performance and a new size intended to broaden the product’s range of residential applications.
Engineered for superior light performance and long-lasting quality, the Brighten Up Skylight Series combines Solatube’s award-winning Raybender® 3000 light-capturing dome technology and ultra-reflective SpectraLight® Infinity tubing—one of the world’s most reflective materials—with a newly redesigned delivery zone to bring soft, even natural daylight into any room.
“Traditional skylights allow direct sunlight to enter a room, which can create glare, bright hotspots and uneven light as the sun moves throughout the day,” said Francisco Lopez, president, Solatube International, Inc. “Solatube’s Raybender 3000 dome technology captures daylight from multiple angles, while SpectraLight Infinity tubing delivers 99.7% reflectivity with optional InfraReduction® technology to maintain consistent brightness without heating the room.”
“Our latest innovation focuses on the delivery zone, optimizing how daylight enters spaces with ceiling fixture options that vary in design, size and light distribution, " added Lopez. “Daylight now becomes a design choice, not just a light source.”
The next-generation Brighten Up Skylight Series introduces several enhancements designed to give homeowners more control over how daylight fills their homes. The series adds two ceiling fixture collections, ThinLine™ and Contour™, offering distinct design profiles and diffuser options to suit a variety of interior styles. It also introduces the 290DS Plus™ (21-inch diffuser) model for larger rooms and vaulted ceilings and ComfortSeal™ Technology, a redesigned ceiling interface with integrated seals and stackable lens options to improve thermal performance and energy efficiency.
