It’s a simple but powerful distinction;
Advanced Daylighting captures and distributes
sunlight inside at such high light levels, that
artificial lights can be turned OFF!

Ciralight is the only global provider of advanced daylighting products capable of turning off artificial lights for up to 12 hours a day. Unlike passive skylights, Advanced Daylighting uses sun-tracking technology and mirrors to align with the sun throughout the day. The result is a bright, glare-free light, just as Nature intended.

Ciralight’s flagship product, SunTrackerOne, is a lighting solution for commercial buildings. In addition to significant energy savings, the benefits from advanced daylighting continue to multiply based on how many people work within the interior space.

SunTrackerOne
The Premium Advanced Daylighting System harvests full-spectrum daylight — even during early, late and seasonal hours

1. Diffusion and Thermal Barrier - State-of-theart diffusion material creates a dual-panel thermal barrier. This passes less than 1/2 the heat of a common fluorescent light fixture.

2. Mirror Array - Three-mirror dynamic tracking array. The mirrors continuously track the sun across the sky even in winter’s low sun angles.

3. Controller - Solar-powered controller calculates the position of the sun and ensures the correct mirror position throughout the day.

4. Acrylic Dome - A clear, thermally formed, impact modified acrylic dome providing superior strength and UV resistance.

Imagine if you could turn off your business lights an average of 9.2 hours per day!

Retail continues to be one of the best applications, where expected sales increases can reduce ROI payback times to just months.

The full spectrum of daylight allows customers to better distinguish colors of packaging and products—especially food and produce. Studies conducted by a respected research group clearly show that customers remain in daylit stores longer and buy more than comparable artificially lit stores.

Passive skylights just can’t match the duration and intensity of light that comes from the daylight of a SunTrackerOne.

During the middle of a sunny day, a skylight transmits direct sunlight that creates glare and heat, pushing the skylight into the Red Zone. The SunTrackerOne spends over twice as long in the Green Zone, (over 50 footcandles) distributing a soft, diffused light and never extending into the Red Zone.

A reduction in energy use alone will provide a 15%-35% Return on Investment.

A reduction in energy bills is certainly the attention-getter when considering daylighting. With more utilities implementing peak demand rates the incentive has never been greater. An unexpected benefit mentioned by current customers is the reduction in maintenance and longer life of their installed artificial lighting systems.

• Ciralight Advanced Daylighting Systems allow artificial lights to be turned OFF thereby reducing the energy bill for every hour of usable daylight.
• Reduction in air-conditioning costs for buildings as compared to passive skylights.
• Analysts still predict electricity rate hikes for some markets.

Humans perform and feel better under daylight when compared to artificial light—period.
What’s left to discover is just how much better.

After you’ve calculated your potential for energy savings you might reflect on the fact that only 3% of the overhead of a building is energy. Almost 94% is the cost of supporting people within the building. Now you can see where even a small increase in productivity or morale can translate into big returns. It just may be the competitive advantage you need.

• Higher productivity from pronounced increases in morale.
• Studies report up to 45% less employee absenteeism.
• Up to 500% fewer workers comp claims.
• Better visual performance translates into fewer errors (lower scrap rate) and fewer accidents.
• School studies reported 20-26% increase in student test scores.

Our environment shouldn’t have to wait for consensus. You can act now and make a difference from the very first day you turn off the lights!

No matter what your personal view on environmental affairs, it is inarguable that anytime we can reduce carbon and toxic gas emissions into our air, we are better off. In other words, why use coal and petroleum based electricity to drive artificial lights when there is free light from the sun.

68% of U.S. electricity comes from coal-fired or petroleum based plants.
• Choosing green building technologies can translate to PR value and increased stock value.
• A single “big-box’ retailer can reduce over 600,000 lbs. of toxic green-house gasses in a single year by incorporating daylighting.

A few benefits from using Ciralight Advanced Daylighting Systems:

Retail Sales go up 10% – 40%, depending on the products sold and the inefficiency of
the current artificial lighting system.

Worker Performance measured in productivity, absenteeism, error rates and accident
rates. All improve dramatically under Ciralight.

Student Performance improves from 7% to 26% when compared to classrooms without
daylighting.

Office Performance overall morale, team performance and the ability to cope with stress show measurable improvements.

Patient Recovery has been proven to speed up dramatically when patients are exposed to diffused daylight over artificial lighting.
