Let the light in...naturally.
And God said,
“Let there be light,”
and there was light.
Gen. 1:3
For millennia, man has tried, with marginal success, to recreate sunlight inside building
structures. Now comes a 21st century daylighting system that captures natural sunlight and
converts it into superior illumination indoors.
It is called the DayStar Daylighting System.

High Performance Natural Lighting Systems
As world demand increases for less available oil and natural gas, interest
in renewable energy has soared. The use of free, abundant sunlight to illuminate
homes, schools, factories, hospitals, offices and other buildings makes more sense
than ever. DayStar’s engineers have developed a skylight system that taps into one
of the most accessible, renewable energy sources available – the sun. Not only does
the DayStar Daylighting System bring in natural, beautiful sunlight, but it also diffuses
the light into a broad, even pattern of illumination. This pattern creates such a
brightness and “full” light that many of our customers don’t believe they’re not electric
lights. And in addition to this brightness, we’ve found many other benefits associated
with our lighting system, from energy efficiency to personal health.
We invite you to discover the many advantages and applications of our daylighting
system as explained in this brochure. If you have any questions about how a DayStar
Daylighting System can help you and your building, please feel free to give us a call.

How it works

1
the DayStar System
2
Using a technologically designed
parabolic dome for gathering natural
light, the DayStar Daylighting System
directs sunlight through an ultra reflective
3
shaft to a specially developed lens for
diffusing highly concentrated light into a
full, broad lighting pattern.
Maximizing sunlight for a lifetime
of benefits.

1
Dome
Sunlight is gathered
and diffused through an
ultra- clear outer dome and
inner collimation dome lens.

Roof CuRbs
Insulated roof curbs made
of galvalume steel with
continuously welded
watertight seams available
to match almost any roof
pitch and metal rib design.
New! Now powder coated
to match your roof color.
Adds durability and beauty.
3
Light shaft
Designed to maximize
daylight, the insulated
panels use a highly reflective
interior to amplify light.
Aesthetically appealing
in open environments, the
super insulated light shaft
requires no attic support
walls and is available in
custom lengths.

CeiLing Lens
Our specially engineered
lens diffuses highly

DayStar Benefits
DayStar’s Daylighting Systems offer many practical benefits beyond super
illumination power. Examples are energy efficiency, conservation, improved health,
enhanced merchandise appeal and better worker morale and productivity.
Our state-of-the-art daylighting system will help you realize the full potential of your
building…and increase its value, too.
DayStar’s full spectrum light is the optimum source for improving your building’s overall capacity
to deliver its potential. The following icons highlight the many benefits available when using
DayStar Daylighting Systems.

Increase Building Value
EnErgy EfficiEncy: A well-designed skylight uses free, natural sunlight to reduce or
eliminate daytime electric light usage and its associated costs.
The superior illumination power of DayStar Daylights allows buildings to be lighted during daylight
hours without electricity. Because our daylights also reduce air-cooling heat loads created by artificial
lighting, energy costs for lighting and cooling can be cut by as much as 50 percent. The typical
“payback” period is only 2 to 4 years.
eneRgy ConseRvation: Using sunlight as a renewable energy source has a positive
impact on the environment.
Buildings that rely on DayStar Daylights can help reduce global demand for fossil fuel energy and
its harmful emissions. Potential tax credits may be an added incentive to incorporate natural
lighting into new building construction or renovation.
heaLth: Sunlight promotes human health.
Studies prove that sunlight has a positive influence on physical and emotional health. Bringing
sunlight inside to schools, factories, hospitals, libraries, homes and other buildings where people
live, work, learn and play makes sense.
PRoDuCtivity anD moRaLe: Worker attitude and morale improve when workplaces are
illuminated with natural light. Increased productivity and reduced absenteeism result.
Bringing an abundance of sunlight into factories, warehouses, showrooms and other workplaces
also helps employees to perform their jobs better in a safer environment. Fewer work-related
insurance claims often occur.
meRChanDise aPPeaL: Full spectrum lighting is the purest method for accenting
product packaging and displays.
Color distortion and glare often result from artificial lighting. DayStar’s full-spectrum light
maximizes the range of product appeal and labeling with amazingly vivid illumination.
Studies show that retail sales increase when natural lighting is used.
building valuE: Incorporating skylights can enhance a building’s overall value.
Installing a DayStar Daylight System is a sensible investment. Daylight has an important role
in architecture, and its presence or absence may influence the renting decisions of prestigious
tenants. Clients immediately see the savings in energy costs as well.
