Parans SP2
Natural lighting system
"Parans is an indoor lighting system powered by solar energy. Panels are placed outside a building to capture sunlight, which is "transported" via a system of mobile reflectors, to indoor light fixtures that are specially design to fit thin flexible fiber optics. A micro computor that automatically moves the reflectors throughout the day guarantees a maximum use of light. The system is thus extremly efficient, because it increases the amount of light that can be transported from a distance, in addition to allowing bulidings with few windows to enjoy natural light. Because of its innovative and sustainable design, Parans was counted by the WWF as one of the best companies in Sweden for addressing climatic and environmental issues 2008"
