Solar Tube - Natural Lighting

They are ecological systems, where natural light is captured and directed through internally coated tube by highly reflective material, which minimizes the dispersion of the rays and allows a supply of light at considerable distances, without heat or cold transfer.

Studies indicate that an average of about 80% of working hours indoors can be performed with natural light, thus contributing directly to reducing energy consumption and consequently to improve the energy efficiency of buildings.

Applications:

• Homes
• Offices
• Gyms
• Pavilions
• Factories
• Supermarkets
• Warehouses
• Industrial buildings
• Amphitheaters
• Room Centers
• Creative applications

Advantages:

• Lighting capability supeior than a window
• Perfectly natural light
• No termic transfer (Cold and Heat)
• No need for cleaning or maintenance
• UV radiation resistance
• Inserting solutions in 100% coverage reliable and secure
• Accessory installation possibility (artificial light, ventilation, natural light dimmer)

Other versions:

• Ventilation and solar tube in the same plumb ducts
• Register on / off or motorized positional adjustment to the amount of light for interconnection to the building automation
• Solar light tube with floodlit Kit - photovoltaic autonomous Power

Technology "MAX LIGHT in AGGREGATOR"

The Chatron Solar tube has the technology "MAX LIGHT in AGGREGATOR" that allows the increase of the capture of natural light when it is most needed.

The "Aggregator device" joins all the pieces of the Solar Tube Kit and allows a perfect adaptation of the Max Light, traveling in the middle of the north circle, increasing the capture of sunlight in the winter, when the sun goes down and when there is more need of this in the interior of the building.

It consists of a specially studied mirror, designed and directed for the perfect magnification of the capture and introduction in the solar tube through the perfect interconnection of all the elements provided by the aggregator device.

LEDin System

It is a LED lighting integration in solar tubes, allowing efficient lighting 24 hours daily. During the day periods with sun the lighting of the entire space comes from the sun. As evening approaches and the day starts getting cloudier, depending on the desired version, the LED light begins to light up and stay On or perform dimerization (depending on the installed version) in order to always keep the same level of illumination within the space.

Light Dimmer and command

Wanting to be in the forefront of technological developments as related to their area of activity, Chatron just released a new light record for placement in their solar tubes that allows linear regulation from the remote control, and is also compatible with control via internet.
You can adjust the registration motor fitted in Chatron Solar Tube, allowing you to turn the light on or off, electric or solar.
You can also use the Chatron REMOTE to control multiple solar tubes.

Operating scheme

Solar Light Tube Constitution:

Chatron solar Light tube consists of:

• Dome in polycarbonate high-impact top-shaped diamond, maximizing solar capture
• “Max Lighting” accessory that can increase the solar capture when the sun goes down (winter solstice) and at sunrise and sunset
• Aluminum tube coated inside by highly reflective material (almost perfect mirror), reflecting 99.7% of the sunlight, sending it to the inside
