The products

Natural Light Solutions is the North’s only approved dealer and installer of Solatube® international. These have been sold by the million in 65 countries worldwide. They capture, channel, and distribute natural light into a variety of workspaces, with optional integrated LEDs which are triggered by motion and/or low light levels. These eliminate the need for artificial lighting during daylight hours and ensure up to 100% interior lighting is achievable through natural light. 

This provides free lighting in the daytime and a more sustainable and welcoming place to work, improving the productivity and performance of employees, as well as helping companies save significantly on their lighting costs. These solutions also have significantly improved thermal values compared to other skylights, so they can also save money on heating and cooling, making this a much more commercially viable purchase.

They are the only BBA-approved sun tunnel on the market, with the lowest u-values of any skylight on the market.

The target market

This product is mainly used directly under the roof space and can be channelled to different floors but it does have limitations, for example, it can’t be channelled to the lower floors of a multi-story building, this is why factories and warehouses are ideal.

• Retail outlets 
• Offices 
• Warehouses 
• Factories 
• Care homes and Supported living facilities
• Community centres 
• And virtually any ethical business wanting to go green and cut costs!

A large space requiring 100 units would bring a commission of £10-15k.

Opportunities may be sought in partnering with architects and building firms, commercial industrial roofing companies, surveyors, house builders’ specifiers, sustainability consultants, workplace fit-outs, LED lighting companies etc.
