The Apollo Solar Light Pipe is a tubular daylighting device that captures natural sunlight at the roof level and delivers it into interior spaces through a highly reflective tube system. A dome mounted on the roof collects sunlight throughout the day, the reflective tube channels it down through the roof assembly, and a diffuser at the ceiling level distributes the light evenly into the space below. No electrical wiring is required for the basic system.
For commercial and industrial facilities with large floor plates or interior spaces that lack windows, solar light pipes can dramatically reduce the need for artificial lighting during daylight hours. Buildings that install tubular daylighting systems often see lighting energy reductions of 50 percent or more in the spaces served. The systems work on overcast days and can be equipped with a hybrid LED kit so the same fixture provides light after dark.
Sentry Roofing handles the roof-penetration side of the installation, which is the critical piece that determines whether the system performs correctly and whether your roofing warranty remains intact. We size and flash the roof dome properly for your membrane type and ensure the penetration is fully sealed.
