Skylight
Skypipe Tubular Skylights
Our skylight systems, including Skypipe tubular skylights, are designed to deliver consistent natural daylight and natural lighting inside large buildings without increasing indoor heat. By integrating high-performance skylight windows and roof skylights, we help reduce dependence on artificial industrial lighting while improving visual comfort, safety, and overall energy efficiency.
What is the Skypipe Tubular Skylight Device?
The Skypipe is a revolutionary daylight harvesting system designed to replace electricity with sunlight during the day. Unlike a traditional skylight window that allows heat to enter, the Skypipe uses patented optical technology to capture, transfer, and diffuse daylight without transferring solar heat.
Ideal for factories, warehouses, and offices, this solar light pipe captures low-angle sunlight even on cloudy days, delivering bright, full-spectrum illumination that boosts productivity and slashes energy bills by up to 70%.
How Skypipe Tubular Skylights Deliver Natural Daylight
Skypipe systems capture sunlight at roof level using specially designed transparent or translucent panels. The incoming light is diffused to spread evenly across interior spaces, minimizing glare and harsh contrasts.
When combined with daylight harvesting, skylights help reduce artificial industrial lighting usage by maintaining adequate illumination levels during daylight hours. This makes them a reliable and energy-efficient solution for large buildings.

Key Features & Benefits of Skypipe Tubular Skylights
Zero Energy Cost: Runs 100% on solar energy. No bulbs, no wires, no electricity bills.
Zero Heat Transfer:Unlike transparent roofing sheets, Skypipe blocks UV and IR rays, keeping your building cool.
Leak-Proof Design: Seamless flashing ensures 100% waterproofing, critical for industrial roofing protection.
Healthier Workforce: Full-spectrum natural light improves mood, reduces eye strain, and boosts Vitamin D.
Long Lifespan: UV-stabilized materials prevent yellowing for 20+ years.
Where Skypipe Tubular Skylights
Are Most Effective
Skypipe tubular skylights are especially effective in buildings where traditional skylight windows or artificial lighting fail to deliver uniform illumination.
Large Roof Span Buildings
Skypipe systems are highly effective in buildings with wide roof spans where side windows cannot deliver sufficient natural daylight.
High-Ceiling Industrial Sheds
In high-ceiling environments, roof skylights deliver daylight from above, reducing dependence on artificial industrial lighting and minimizing shadow zones.
Daytime-Operation Facilities
Facilities that operate primarily during daytime hours benefit from skylights through reduced energy usage and improved natural lighting quality.
Storage Handling Zones
Consistent warehousing lighting from skylights improves visibility for material movement and inventory handling without increasing operational costs.

Key Design Considerations for Skypipe Installation
Effective skylight performance depends on thoughtful design and placement.
Roof Orientation & Layout
Proper orientation ensures maximum natural daylight capture throughout the day.
Glare & Heat Control
Modern roof skylights are designed to diffuse light evenly while limiting heat gain.
Integration with Roof Ventilation
Combining skylights with roof vents or roof ventilators improves indoor comfort and reduces heat buildup.
