Abstract:
1. A skylight for providing natural lighting to the interior of a building comprising: a transparent dome projecting above a roof of the building and defining at one end a light passage from the interior to the exterior of the building: a first stationary and tilted reflective surface defined by a vector normal to the reflective surface having a first compass direction; said vector oblique to the horizon; one or more additional stationary and tilted reflective surfaces, each of the one or more additional stationary and tilted reflective surfaces defined by a respective vector normal the respective reflective surface having a respective compass direction, said respective vectors oblique to the horizon; wherein the first and additional reflective surfaces are positioned within said transparent dome; wherein the first compass direction and the respective compass direction are not the same, and wherein the vector and respective vector have a common vertical direction wherein the first and additional reflective surfaces reflect light having an incident angle with respect to the horizon lower than a predetermined threshold into the light passage; wherein the first and additional reflective surfaces define a Y shaped wedge.
