Daylight is reflected down a mirror-like pipe to a translucent ceiling fixture, which then
diffuses the outside light evenly throughout the room up to 225-sq. ft., even on an
overcast or rainy day! The All-Canadian Tubular Skylite, using this optically enhanced
aluminum, puts out the same or more light as the conventional skylight.
