AIA Skylights has partnered with Sunflower corporation to offer AIA customers the Sundolier™. Sundolier™ is a chandelier that distributes sunlight to interior rooms by washing ceilings and walls with daylight. This method of light distribution creates high quality indirect natural lighting. The roof-top Sundolier™ daylight harvester tracks the sun - offering an unsurpassed ability to deliver daylight from sunrise to sunset. The Sundolier™ requires minimal roof penetration and is easy to specify. Sundolier™ addresses specific needs of core daylighting, and low-bay daylighting. Sundolier™ eliminates problems of glare and hot-spots, and provides high quantities of daylight with minimal roof penetration suitable for NEW and EXISTING Buildings.

Daylighting products from Sunflower corporation provide sustainable natural lighting that meets the needs of education, office, retail, health care, and industrial facilities.

Natural daylight is proven to:

1) Increase the speed of learning in educational environments
2) Increase productivity and employee wellness in office and industrial environments
3) Increase sales in retail environments
4) Improve health care environments for reduced lengths of stay and medicine consumed

Sundolier™ delivers full spectrum natural sunlight that delights occupants while ensuring that electric lights can be turned off when the sun is available. When daylighting is done right it eliminates electrical demand for light which can also reduce cooling loads. Sundolier™ lights up to 2,500 ft2(230 m2) of space with one 2-foot (0.6m) roof penetration, 10-20 times less than competitive solutions.

Key features and Benefits of Sundolier™ Daylighting:

1) No need for electric lights when direct beam sunlight is available
2) Indirect natural light - a new quality standard for daylighting
3) Daylight 1,000 to 2,500 ft2 with a single fixture
4) One 24" roof penetration per Sundolier™
