This concept is not unique to Parans. San Francisco architects, IwamotoScott designed the Fiber Optic Room concept several years ago, which transmits sunlight from the roof through a buildings floors to become the glowing walls of an occupiable space. Its on their website, look it up…

My institution would like to order one set of parans lighting system. How do we go about it? Do we have any problem fixing up the system on our own? And what is the cost of one complete system?

Thanks and waiting for your reply

[...] Sunlight transport systems are an Inhabitat favorite, as they make it possible to channel actual natural light into dark places and cast it through a fixture. The Subway Light Project is the first we’ve seen that incorporates sunlight transfer in public urban art, to save the city money on energy, and infuse public space with a good mood boost. Parsons student Caroline Pham, who designed the Subway Light Project, won first place in the school’s 2007 Sustainable Design Review. Her concept uses sunlight capture devices and fiber optics cables to channel sunlight into the enclosed corridors of the subway. [...]

[...] Because Neue Licht’s lights are all fiber optic, the light source can be in a different room or better yet, could even be powered by sunlight – eliminating the need for electricity entirely. (We can’t wait to pair these guys up with sunlight-collecting Parans). With the light source separable from the fixture, even when using an electrical source these lights are completely waterproof, providing a beautiful lighting solution for wet rooms like spas and pool rooms. Any number of lights can be fed by one source, dramatically increasing energy efficiency and reducing maintenance costs. Behold the future of lighting: Neueslicht! [...]

That is a very nice technology and must be considerded by all architects in designing new houses. They allways have problem for distribution of daylight.
