What is it about?
The lighting performance has been analyzed for two configurations (straight and tilt) of a mirror light tube of a vertically projected length of 830 mm having a 300-mm diameter transparent dome as daylight collector. The performance of the tubular daylighting device has been evaluated in the summer, equinox and winter solstices for clear sky conditions.

Why is it important?
Renewable energy resources are clean and nearly everlasting in nature. These days, daylighting using renewable energy resources is of great concern. The sun is an extraordinary source of renewable energy and is an immense source of illuminance available during daytime. The available daylight can be harnessed using an appropriate daylighting device to illuminate dark spaces located at a distance from conventional fenestration. Innovative daylighting systems have the capability to deliver the desired level of illuminance in deep-plan and high-rise buildings. Tubular daylighting device, one of the passive daylighting devices, is discussed in this study.
Perspectives
The conclusions from the study give a clear idea regarding the appropriate choice of mirror light pipe configuration (straight or tilt) that need to be installed for optimal performance.
