Transforming Buildings with Daylight
Lightpipes® are manufactured by Skyshade, the largest manufacturer of daylighting systems. Skyshade has decade long experience in executing daylighting projects with multiple daylighting technologies.With dedicated research and development centre, Skyshade has multiple awards and recognition in field of Daylighting.
What is Lightpipe®?
– Basic principle : Sunlight collector of lightpipe captures light and is transferred through conduits into building by light diffusers.
– Optically designed, large sunlight collectors unlike ordinary domes are vital element for very high light output of lightpipes.
– Ultra high specular reflective conduits are critical to reduce light transmission losses.
– A lightpipe can deliver light to a basement/cellar reaching a distance of 15.0 m (50 feet) distance.
Why Lightpipe® from skyshade ?
・ Highest output in the industry: Skyshade grades its systems on light lumen output and not on diameter of conduits.
・ Highest light transfer efficiency: 10.0 metres (33 feet) length conduit has 92% output with just 8% loss..
・ Retains the natural colour of light, No yellow colour shift.
・ Highest RETURN ON INVESTMENT from energy savings.
・ Factory manufactured leak proof metal kerb systems for different roofing systems.
・ Diffusers : Multiple options of diffusers
・ Skyshade has successfully installed more than 20,000 daylighting systems.






Roof Mounted Lightpipes®:
Sunlight collectors are mounted on roofs of buildings and sunlight is transferred through verticalconduitswith neccessarybends.
