Sun Tunnel VELUX by Lovegrove
Does it get more eco friendly than a light that literally uses sunlight? Sure, by this definition a skylight is a light too… but in a way, isn’t it?
The Tunnel Solare VELUX by Lovegrove is just like it sounds… a sun tunnel! From your ceiling to the outside world… and the light comes in, bounces off the hanging pod, reflecting up to the larger fixture ~ and illuminating the whole room ~ creating anything from an ambient glow to a pretty bright room depending on the weather conditions. Industrial designer Ross Lovegrove in the video on the Velux site seems to take quite a bit of pride in creating something “neutral but not boring… and that’s not easy” ~ and i agree it is certainly key to “not to use energy, when we absolutely do not need to use energy”
Here’s a video of Ross Lovegrove talking about the Sun Tunnel!

This is an improvement over the "Solatubes".
