Entech Collimating Skylights - Features and Benefits
Key Features and Benefits
Key components and features of the Entech Collimating Skylight are shown above in a cutaway of a typical roof. This skylight is a perfect solution where significant amounts of light are required in large spaces, for example, warehouses, manufacturing facilities, big box stores with no ceilings, gymnasiums, auditoriums, etc. An optional tube and diffuser can be added to the bottom of the collimator to provide a perfect daylighting solution for task lighting or work areas with a suspended ceiling, such as retail stores, offices, classrooms, libraries, conference rooms, hospitals, etc.
| Features | Benefits |
|---|---|
Tilted aperture |
Maximizes annual sunlight capture, less prone to dirt and snow collection, and improves self-cleaning in rain |
Integral dome and diffuser |
Maximizes light transmission |
Collimation engineered to start immediately in skylight above the roof |
Minimizes light bounces allowing use of low cost reflectors |
Water proof, welded aluminum assembly |
Maximum product performance and reliability |
Thermally insulated skylight housing |
Minimizes heat transfer and eliminates condensation in skylight |
Engineered secondary diffuser |
Maximizes quantity and uniformity of light delivered to desired working or product area and provides additional thermal barrier |
Self flashing (optional curb design) |
Quicker and easier to install than conventional curb-mounted with option for curb mount |
Product available with skylight aperture areas ranging from 900 to 1900 square inches (Additional sizes under development) |
Skylights respective product outputs of about 45,000 and 120,000 lumens |
Optional tubular section and diffuser can readily be added below collimator |
In addition to open ceiling applications this feature enables skylight to be used for suspended ceiling applications. Collimation provides efficient transfer of light in tubular section |
The combined performance features results in three times the unit lumen output compared to conventional skylights and allows Entech Solar to provide lower prices per lumen than ever before.
