EcoNation LightCatcher

The basic operation of the LightCatcher is very simple. In a polycarbonate dome, a mirror is integrated that focuses on the optimal light point : often that is the sun, often another point when the sun is covered by clouds or obstacles. The mirror captures the daylight and that light is reflected inwards, filtered and amplified in a light shaft, after which it is neatly distributed in the building.

The result: an average of ten hours a day, the artificial light from now the LightCatcher can bring intense and pleasant daylight . A roof opening of 1,6m², thanks to the LightCatcher, gives light in abundance to a zone of no less than 60 to 120m² on the floor.

That happens completely free of charge. The LightCatcher mirror is controlled by a patented sensor technology that always looks for the optimal light point, and that technology does not use a single cent of energy: an integrated solar panel ensures that the LightCatcher works completely autonomously, without having to connect to the electricity grid. And so the LightCatcher with a particularly small roof opening achieves maximum daylight in a building. LightCatcher can be retrofitted or installed on new build premises of all types.
