Sunpipe!


So we finally got round to fitting the sunpipe to the office. I have been pretty sceptical about how these might actually perform and how much of an ordeal it might have been fitting them. But it proved very simpleonce a perfectly watertight shipping container had had a gigantic hole cut in the roof it was just a case of a little fettling and then adding a prism to the super reflective tube and a diffuser inside the office liberally applying sealant and then came the big moment, turn the lights off... shut the door and see if it works... and boy did it work!.. Free sunlight in the office! No power and good enough to supplement some solar powered 12v lights we've got going in next week. Pretty exiting stuff hey!
