ABSTRACT:
A hollow light duct extends through the roof of a building to the ceiling of a room within the building to be lighted. A translucent light emitting panel is mounted over one end of the duct on the roof of the building and a hingeable lid is secured to the end of the duct. The lid is provided with a reflecting surface for reflecting sunlight through the translucent panel into the duct. The opposite end of the duct includes a diffusing panel positioned in the ceiling of the room; the duct includes artificial light source to provide illumination when insufficient daylight is present; the reflecting lid is closed to reflect the artificial light and prevent its escape from a duct when the artificial light source is in use.
