• They are also often called tubular daylighting devices, sun pipes, sun scopes, or daylight pipes
Working principle:

Sunlight
Capture system.

Light transfer
system.

Light diffuser.

Lightpipe Components :
• Light pipes may be divided into two broad categories: CASE EXAMPLE :
1. Sunlight capture system. hollow structures that contain the light with reflective
2. Flashing plate. surfaces, and transparent solids that contain the light • Location London, UK
3. Light transfer system. by total internal reflection. • Status Built
4. Light diffuser. • Services Architecture, Interior
design
Sunlight capture system Light transfer system • Sector Sports and leisure
• The reflective system delivers the high luminance light • Area 15,500m²/166,800ft²
with out colour changeeven on cloudy days.
• Copper Box Arena is outfitted with 88 TDDs to bring natural light into the venue.

• Light collector collects the sunlight from all

direactions and delivers light effectively
throughtout the day even at the sun low angles.
Flashing plate.
Light diffuser.
• The sunlight in light pipe is distributed to the indoor
spaces by using diffuser.

• The flashing plate is made up of 2 parts :kerb , • The 7,500-seat indoor arena – London’s third-largest – hosted three major Olympic and Paralympic
throat .the kerb is fixed to roof and light pipe events during London 2012, and now operates as a community leisure and training facility,
