Dayluxa Fiber Optic Daylighting System – FAQ
Technical answers about solar tracking, fiber optic transmission, light efficiency and real-world
applications.
A fiber optic daylighting system captures direct sunlight using Fresnel lenses, concentrates
it,
and transmits the light indoors through high-purity quartz optical fibers.
Unlike skylights, this system allows sunlight to be transported over distances exceeding 100
meters
without converting it into electricity.
Dayluxa systems integrate a GPS-based dual-axis solar tracking module.
The tracker continuously aligns the Fresnel lens array with the sun,
maintaining optimal incident angle throughout the day.
This increases optical collection efficiency significantly compared to fixed systems.
Using low-OH high-purity silica optical fibers (Core diameter 1500μm ±40μm),
sunlight can be transmitted over 100 meters.
Typical attenuation at 1000nm is <10 dB/km.
Transmission efficiency depends on bending radius and installation quality.
Dayluxa uses low-OH high-purity silica fiber with numerical aperture 0.37±0.02.
The fiber includes ETFE buffer coating and LSZH outer jacket.
Long-term bending radius ≥300mm, short-term ≥150mm.
Continuous operating temperature: -60℃ to 125℃.
Yes. The system transmits direct sunlight without electrical conversion.
The full visible spectrum is preserved, including natural color rendering and dynamic
intensity variation.
Dayluxa systems include an integrated LED lighting module within the same luminaire housing.
The LED provides supplemental illumination when natural sunlight is insufficient or
unavailable.
No additional external lighting fixtures are required.
Infrared heat is partially filtered during optical coupling.
Proper optical design prevents concentrated thermal hotspots indoors.
The output luminaires are engineered to diffuse light safely.
Suitable applications include:
Underground spaces
Windowless offices
Hospitals and ICUs
Museums and galleries
Industrial facilities
Unlike skylights, which require direct roof openings above the illuminated space,
Dayluxa systems transport sunlight through optical fibers.
This allows natural light delivery to underground or windowless areas
without structural roof penetrations above the target room.
Additionally, light transmission distance can exceed 100 meters.
The low-OH high-purity silica fiber provides long-term optical stability and does not
typically degrade under normal operating conditions.
The collector and fiber transmission system contain no consumable optical components.
Maintenance is limited to periodic cleaning of the collector’s protective cover to ensure
maximum light transmission.
The integrated LED module follows standard LED lifespan ratings.
Indoor illuminance depends on solar irradiance, collector size,
and transmission distance.
Under clear sky conditions, the system can deliver
functional illumination suitable for offices, corridors, and commercial spaces.
Detailed lux data can be provided based on project requirements.
The system requires mounting of the solar collector on the roof or exterior surface.
Fiber routing is flexible and can be adapted to existing building infrastructure.
Installation impact is significantly lower compared to large skylight constructions.
The Fresnel lenses should be kept clean to ensure optimal light collection efficiency.
Periodic inspection of tracking alignment and mechanical components is recommended.
Optical fibers require minimal maintenance once installed properly.
Energy savings depend on local solar irradiance, operating hours, and the baseline lighting
system being replaced.
During daytime operation, the Dayluxa system delivers natural sunlight without electrical
conversion,
reducing reliance on conventional electric lighting.
Annual energy savings can be estimated by comparing the reduced LED operating hours
against the building’s lighting power density (LPD).
Project-specific simulations can be provided upon request.
The payback period varies depending on installation scale, local electricity prices,
daylight availability, and energy incentives.
In regions with high electricity costs and strong solar resources,
payback can be significantly shortened.
A financial assessment typically includes:
installation cost, annual energy savings, maintenance cost, and local subsidy programs.
Detailed ROI analysis is available for project-based evaluation.
By reducing daytime electrical lighting demand,
the Dayluxa system lowers indirect CO₂ emissions associated with power generation.
Carbon reduction impact depends on the local electricity grid emission factor
(kg CO₂ per kWh).
Estimated annual CO₂ reduction can be calculated as:
Energy Saved (kWh) × Grid Emission Factor.
This makes the system suitable for green building certifications
and ESG sustainability reporting.
