Sunlight is collected by a Parans Solar Panel on a building's exterior and transported into the selected room where it shines through a Parans Luminaire When the sunshine hits the Parans Solar Panel, two layers of lenses focus it into optical fibers. These optical fibres form the Parans Optical Cable which is drawn to the area in the building that shall be illuminated with natural light. The cable diameter is only 30 mm and can be 15 meters long which normally covers the three top floors in a building. If sunlight is to be taken to lower floors in high buildin
