What is the maximum distance between the Reflector and the area to be illuminated?

The answer to this question depends on the type of natural light to be transported and the type of Reflector.

Here is the recommended distance for each of the different cases.

In diffuse light from the sky:

The maximum distance is of the order of 3 m.

Indeed the diffuse light of the sky is of average intensity 1000 to 6000 lux and multi-directional It is a fantastic source of brightness and well-being since the minimum lighting required in the habitat is 50 lux! But it does not spread very far :)

80% of customers are in this configuration:

- North facade,

- Shadow due to the opposite wall/building,

- Courtyard,

- Ground floor / 1st floor

- ...

In direct sunlight:

The maximum distance is of the order of 6 m.

Indeed the direct sunlight is of high intensity 20 000 to 100 000 lux and directed in only one direction. It can spread very far without limit. However the sun moves in the sky is beyond 6 m the radius projected by the reflector comes out quickly from the window frame. This is a fantastic source of brightness that allows you to have the sunbeam in a home that does not benefit!

80% of customers are in this configuration:

- East-west facade,

- South facade with an overhang above,

- Terrace in the sun but dark apartment,

- Ground floor / 1st floor / garden

- ...

Special case of the Solar Patio Reflector:

The maximum distance is of the order of 20 m.

Indeed, in a closed courtyard-type space, the direction of the sun is of less importance. In addition, the curved shape of the Solar Patio Reflector diffuses the sun's rays downwards on a very open angle.
