Hello everyone,

I’m having trouble making progress with this topic. Apparently, there is only one provider in Germany (EnLiCos), and they charge over 10,000 euros. Every house is, of course, unique.
What I have found out so far is that the actuator which moves the mirror to follow the sun’s path originates from satellite technology...

Maybe someone here is familiar with this subject and can offer some advice. I would appreciate it.

Thank you very much, Alex

Just google Caja Solenica or Lucy Solenica. Unfortunately, they are not yet available on the market. But the idea, design, and price seem interesting. Best regards

The video is somewhat staged.
Anyone who has experience with photography, has paid attention to lighting (even just being sensitive to it), and knows how to control exposure on a camera or at least understands how it works, knows that a room does not actually appear as dark to the eye as it does to the camera, or vice versa.

I wonder what the difference is here compared to daylight lamps. Could it be because there is hardly any difference that this technology has not become more common?

P.S.

Thank you Nordanney. Please refrain from further posts. There are too many complainers here, and you are one of them.


Nordanney was not complaining but expressing their opinion.
This is a forum, and you have to accept opposing arguments. Nobody is sugar-coating things here.
Often, homeowners see themselves as isolated cases, even though they are not. And it is important to point this out to the questioner so they don’t get caught up in foolish and expensive ideas.

Also consider the depreciation that penthouses experience due to this visual impact.
And the discussion with the building insurance and liability coverage for such a structure.

Daylight lamps with appropriate automatic control are the effective solution here.

Then, a request for a recommendation of a daylight lamp that can replace natural sunlight in terms of light spectrum and intensity. Thank you!

Not just one, but several. For the entire room or even beyond, if desired. There are planners for that, or you can learn to do it yourself.
