====== Fiber optic solar lighting ====== **[[https://himawarisolar.com/|Bring natural sunlight into your home with Himawari]]** Solar fiber optic lighting is a system that uses fiber optic cables to transmit sunlight into a building. It is an alternative to traditional lighting and can be used in homes and businesses. **How it works**: * A solar collector on the roof of a building captures sunlight * The sunlight passes through fiber optic cables * The light is emitted in the building through fixtures **Benefits**: * Energy efficient: Solar fiber optic lighting uses small amounts of energy * Environmentally friendly: Solar fiber optic lighting is a renewable energy source * Natural light: Solar fiber optic lighting can provide natural light throughout a building * Versatile: Solar fiber optic lighting can be used for accent lighting, landscape lighting, and security lighting **Drawbacks** **Expensive**: Solar fiber optic lighting can be more expensive to install and maintain than traditional lighting. **Not effective in all weather conditions**: Solar fiber optic lighting is not effective when it is cloudy or at night. **Not enough light for a whole building**: Solar fiber optic lighting is not enough to light up an entire building or hous. **Fragile**: Optical fiber is more fragile than copper wires and can be vulnerable to damage. ---- ---- {{ youtube>1a9TYfYPg7E }} ---- ---- {{ youtube>DN8GXTmR6RI }} ---- ---- {{ youtube>chI-bUl0s7Q }} ---- ----
