Abstract:
PURPOSE: A natural lighting apparatus and a hybrid lighting system thereof are provided to improve optical transmission efficiency by changing sunlight into linear parallel light. CONSTITUTION: A natural lighting apparatus comprises a first and a second light-collecting members(10,20) and an optical transmission member. The first light-collecting member reflects sunlight to a focal region. The first light-collecting member is an envelope shaped concave back mirror. The second light-collecting member is arranged in the focal region of the first light-collecting member in order to change the sunlight into forward travelling collimated light. The second light-collecting member is an envelope shaped convex reflection mirror. An optical transmission member transmits the forward travelling collimated light to the inner space.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a natural lighting apparatus using sunlight, and more specifically, to a natural lighting apparatus using sunlight, wherein a second light condensing member is formed in the focal region of a first light condensing member so as to convert the sunlight condensed in the focal region through the first light condensing member into straight parallel light rays such as a laser beam through the second light condensing member, thereby being capable of supplying the sunlight of a high luminous flux indoors. In addition, the present invention relates to a hybrid illumination system which uses the natural lighting apparatus together with an artificial illumination and makes the utmost use of the natural lighting apparatus, thereby enabling the saving of energy.
