Solatube Daylight Dimmer: Take Control of Natural Daylight in Your Home

Natural daylight makes a home feel brighter, more welcoming and more enjoyable to live in. It can open up smaller spaces, reduce the need for artificial lighting and completely change the feel of a room.

There are times, however, when less daylight is exactly what you need.

Perhaps you're settling in for a movie, putting the kids down for an afternoon nap or creating a quieter atmosphere at the end of the day. Instead of relying on curtains or blinds, imagine adjusting the amount of natural daylight with the press of a button.

That's exactly what the Solatube Solar Powered Daylight Dimmer allows you to do.

What is the Solatube Daylight Dimmer?

The Solatube Daylight Dimmer is an optional accessory designed to work with compatible Solatube daylighting systems. It gives you complete control over the amount of natural daylight entering your room throughout the day.

If you want maximum daylight, simply open the dimmer. If you'd prefer softer lighting, use the remote control to reduce the amount of light entering the room. The adjustment is smooth, quick and effortless.

It gives you the flexibility to enjoy natural daylight in a way that suits your lifestyle.

How does the Solar Powered Daylight Dimmer work?

Unlike many home automation products, the Solatube Daylight Dimmer does not require electrical wiring.

The system is powered by its own integrated solar panel, making installation straightforward while maintaining the energy efficient design Solatube is known for.

The included handheld remote lets you adjust the daylight from anywhere in the room, so changing the atmosphere takes only seconds.

Why homeowners choose a Daylight Dimmer

Every family uses their home differently throughout the day. A room that feels bright and energising in the morning may need softer lighting later in the afternoon.

The Daylight Dimmer gives you that flexibility.

Many homeowners appreciate being able to reduce glare while watching television, create a more relaxing environment in the evening or darken a bedroom during the day without giving up the benefits of natural daylight altogether.

It is a simple addition that makes your Solatube system even more versatile.

Which rooms benefit most from a Daylight Dimmer?

The Solatube Daylight Dimmer can be used in almost any room, although some spaces benefit more than others.

Bedrooms are one of the most popular choices because the light can be reduced when it's time to rest while still allowing plenty of daylight during the morning.

Media rooms are another favourite, particularly when reducing glare on television screens makes viewing more comfortable.

Home offices can also benefit from greater control over brightness during video calls or computer work.

Living rooms and open plan spaces become more adaptable throughout the day, allowing you to create a softer atmosphere whenever you choose.
