Solar Lighting Captures Sunlight Channels it Through Fiber Optic
Cables Solar Lighting System based on Fiber The intelligent sunlight import system is an advanced optical
technology that captures, transmits, and distributes natural
sunlight through a combination of solar tracking, fiber optic
conduction, and intelligent control. - Sunlight Collection: A high-efficiency solar concentrator (usually a parabolic or Fresnel lens) is mounted outdoors (e.g.,
on roofs or walls) to gather sunlight. The collector surface is
designed to maximize light absorption, even on cloudy days.
-
- Intelligent Tracking: An embedded sun-tracking sensor (photocell or GPS-based) continuously adjusts the collector’s
angle to follow the sun’s trajectory, ensuring optimal light
capture throughout the day. This mechanism increases light
efficiency by 30–50% compared to fixed systems.
-
- Light Transmission: Captured sunlight is directed into optical fiber cables (made of high-purity silica or PMMA), which act as “light pipes.”
The fibers use total internal reflection to transmit light with
minimal loss (typically <10% over 50 meters).
-
- Multi-branch Distribution: The main fiber can split into smaller sub-fibers, allowing
sunlight to be distributed to multiple rooms simultaneously. For
example, a 4-room setup might use a 10-mm main fiber splitting into
four 5-mm fibers, each serving a 10–20 m² space.
-
- Light Emission: At the end of each fiber, a diffuser fixture (ceiling-mounted or recessed) disperses the sunlight evenly,
creating a natural lighting effect. The fixture can mimic daylight
spectrum (5000–6500K) with a CRI (Color Rendering Index) >90,
identical to direct sunlight.
- Intelligent Regulation: A built-in control panel adjusts light intensity based on indoor needs. Features may
include:
- Auto-dimming (responds to ambient light levels)
- Timer scheduling (e.g., turns on at dawn, off at dusk)
- Remote control via smartphone app (for adjusting brightness or
tracking status)
-
- No Electricity Requirement: The system operates purely on solar energy, eliminating reliance
on grid power for lighting (saving ~800–1200 kWh/year for 4 rooms).
- Heat Isolation: Specialized jackets around fibers prevent heat transfer, ensuring
indoor spaces remain cool even in direct sunlight.
- Backup Power Option: Some models include a small battery (charged by the solar
collector) to maintain lighting during brief cloud cover or at
dusk.
-
- For semi-flat roofs or side walls, the solar collector is mounted
using adjustable brackets (stainless steel or aluminum) that can be tilted 0–60° to optimize
sun exposure.
- Fiber cables are routed through walls or ceilings (with a diameter
of 10–20 mm, similar to electrical wiring), making it suitable for
new constructions or renovations.

Diffuser Fixtures → Intelligent Control Panel This system is ideal for basements, attics, or rooms without
windows, as it provides natural light while reducing energy
consumption. For a 4-room setup (10–20 m² each), the typical light
output per room is equivalent to 2–3 standard windows, with
uniformity >85% across the space. 1.The automatic sun tracking system brings sunlight to every
corner. In order to ensure that the sunlight can be accurately captured
from sunrise to sunset, the sun tracking system was independently
developed. Combined with latitude and longitude calculation mode and
photosensitive mode. Latitude and longitude calculation mode: calculate the sun's four
seasons and the running trajectory of different regions To ensure normal operation even when the sun is covered by clouds,
once the sun tracks the sun immediately. Photosensitive mode: When there is the sun. It can track the position of the sun more accurately, the tracking
accuracy reaches 0.01 degrees, and each light spot can be
accurately collected. Simple installation, intelligent positioning system, the sun
setting system will automatically stop running, The next day the
sun rises and begins automatic tracking operation. 2.Pure sunlight, low carbon, energy saving, environmental protection The light output by the fiber optic lighting system is directly
natural sunlight, and has not undergone energy conversion. It is essentially different from ordinary solar energy
applications. It not only removes a lot of ultraviolet rays and various harmful
rays, but also retains all trace elements and useful substances in
direct sunlight, making it completely different from solar lights, The fiber-optic lighting system uses civilian 220V alternating
current, which is converted into low-voltage electricity and enters
the interior of the system. These electricity are used to drive the
microcomputer sun in this system to automatically track the
operation of components. The operation of the daylighter is less than 1 kWh per month, and
only 12 kWh per year. 3. Perfect combination of sunlight and artificial lighting Enjoy sunlight when there is sunlight, and it will be intelligently
converted into artificial lighting without sunlight.
