Energy-saving light technology providing rooms with real sunlight via fibre optics

An increasing number of people spend most of the day in interior spaces exposed to artificial light. The company ATARA offers an innovative high-tech design solution creating a natural atmosphere in interior spaces. Via fibre optics, ATARA light objects redirect natural sunlight from the outside into commonly artificially-lit buildings and rooms. The product is sustainable saving 50 % energy. Furthermore, the lighting technology provides a pleasant atmosphere in any given room or interior working environment.

ATARA light objects promote a healthy metabolism, vitamin D production and people get less fatigued when working in naturally lit environments. Channeling sunlight into a lighting product facilitates a colorfast illumination of interior spaces. The fibres bring all of the sky’s naturally occurring colours into the interior. The room temperature stays consistent, regardless of the intensity of the sunlight and detrimental IR and UV rays are filtered out.

A sun tracker with lenses is placed on the roof or the facade of a building and is aligned to the sun. The lenses are connected with single fibre optics, which are bundled and transmitted through the building. At the end of the bundle of fibres, the ATARA light object is connected and brings the sunlight inwards into the room. The second light source is an LED generator, placed in the ceiling, wall or floor and is automatically used when it is too dark and the sunlight is not strong enough to sufficiently light the interior. This innovative hybrid solution of ATARA light objects is unique worldwide.

Each of the individual ATARA light objects has its special form, material and size. Paying special attention to individual space requirements and the needs of its users, ATARA creates each of its lighting solutions in accordance with individual needs and preferences. ATARA light objects can be used in stairwells, as installations on ceilings, walls, suspended, or as elements for compartmentalisation.
