What are Smart LEDs and how do they work?

Smart LEDs are a revolutionary day and night home lighting solution that uses the latest LED technology with the most popular daylighting system, to bring natural light into your home. This great LED system decreases your energy consumption by 94%. It not only saves you money but is beneficial to your health too, as your spaces are filled with natural light from the sun.  This green product is cost effective and energy efficient.

What are the features of a Smart LED?

The Smart LED uses SunSense Technology, which is a patented control center. It assesses the daylight that filters into your home all day long. If it finds the amount of light being filtered into the house low, it automatically and seamlessly transfers the lighting option from daylighting systems to the Smart LED. So, your house is always lit in a controlled way, throughout the day.

The Raybender® 3000 that the Smart LED uses is a patented daylight-capturing dome lens that helps capture the optimum amount of sunlight. It redirects the reflector for maximum light absorption. It controls the light that goes in, and during very bright days, rejects the excess light.

The Spectralight® Infinity Extension Tube that are used in the daylighting system help the Smart LED, as the tubes are made of a special reflective material that delivers 99.7% reflectivity, for maximum sunlight transfer. The material that makes up the tubing renders the colors in the room that the sunlight is piped to, bolder and brighter.  This material takes in as much sunlight as needed and pipes it through the extension tubes to the various parts of the house. These tubes come in different sizes to facilitate both long, uninterrupted runs, as well as, shorter lengths, where it can be fitted together in angles, to provide light for even the most hard to reach spaces in the house.

The Smart LED’s LightTracker™ is an advanced dome reflector that can absorb light from whichever side the sun is during the dark, winter months. This ensures year round sunlight in your home.

Flashings

The Smart LED comes with a variety of add-ons that can help better the effectiveness and efficiency of the daylighting system. Their flashings come in different types so that it is easy to fit them on any kind of roof type, whether it is flat or pitches.

Daylight dimmer

Sometimes, especially during summer, sunlight can be extremely bright. The light that comes into your home can also be too much. The daylight dimmer helps you control the amount of sunlight coming into your home. With the help of the daylight dimmer, you can ensure that the light in your home is controlled throughout the day.

High-performance Amplifier

The amplifier for the Smart LED is protected in a special housing and uses patented technology to get the best results. It has 16 reflective facets. The number of facets increases the reflective quality of the amplifier, and even if the sunlight on a certain day is meager, the facets of the amplifier will reflect it many times over to ensure there is enough light being piped in.

Daylight Sensor

A Daylight Sensor continually monitors light levels within the tube and activates the LEDs when light levels reach a minimum threshold. It also deactivates the LEDs when sufficient daylight is present.

Why get a Smart LED?

Sunlight is beneficial for our health and the amount of money that you will save by installing a Smart LED is a very smart move. That is why Solatube has spent millions of dollars in R&D to get you the maximum benefit of sunlight. Sunlight Concepts is the local dealer for Solatube products in the Bay Area.
