Solatube Solar Powered NightLight0012.png

Natural Daylight by Day. Gentle Light by Night.

There is something special about walking into a home filled with natural daylight.

Rooms feel brighter. Spaces appear larger. Colours look more vibrant. Most importantly, your home simply feels more welcoming.

But when the sun sets, many of the same spaces that benefit from natural light can become some of the darkest areas of the house. Hallways, bathrooms, stairways and laundry rooms often need just enough light to help you move around safely without switching on bright overhead lights.

That's exactly where the Solatube Solar Powered NightLight comes in.

Designed exclusively for compatible Solatube Daylighting Systems, this clever accessory captures solar energy during the day and automatically provides a soft, comforting glow after dark. No electrical wiring. No additional power consumption. Just smart, sustainable lighting whenever you need it.

What Is the Solatube Solar Powered NightLight?

The Solatube Solar Powered NightLight transforms your Solatube Daylighting System into a 24-hour lighting solution.

During daylight hours, your Solatube continues delivering beautiful natural daylight into your home, just as it always has.

At the same time, the NightLight quietly stores solar energy using a discreet integrated solar charging system.

Once daylight fades, built-in sensors automatically activate two energy-efficient LED lights, creating a gentle illumination that helps guide your way through the night.

The entire process happens automatically, so there's nothing to switch on or remember.

Simply enjoy daylight when the sun is shining and soft ambient lighting when it isn't.

 

Why New Zealand Homes Love This Feature

New Zealand homes often have internal spaces that receive very little natural light after sunset.

Areas like these can become surprisingly dark:

  • Hallways
  • Bathrooms
  • Stairways
  • Entryways
  • Children's bedrooms
  • Laundry rooms
  • Walk-in wardrobes

Rather than turning on bright ceiling lights in the middle of the night, the Solatube Solar Powered NightLight provides just enough illumination to comfortably navigate your home.

It's subtle, practical and surprisingly comforting.

Powered Entirely by the Sun

One of the biggest advantages of the Solatube Solar Powered NightLight is that it doesn't rely on your household electricity.

Instead, it stores energy collected during the day and uses that stored power after sunset.

That means:

  • No electrical wiring
  • No operating costs
  • No increase to your power bill
  • No need to leave lights on overnight

For homeowners looking to reduce energy use while making their home more comfortable, it's a simple but effective solution.

Automatically Turns On When You Need It

We've all forgotten to switch on a night light.

Fortunately, the Solatube Solar Powered NightLight does the thinking for you.

An integrated dusk sensor detects when daylight begins to fade and automatically activates the LEDs.

When morning arrives, the lights switch off and begin charging again using natural sunlight.

It's a seamless cycle that repeats every day without requiring any attention.

Gentle Light That's Easy on Your Eyes

There's a big difference between a bright ceiling light and a soft guiding glow.

The Solatube Solar Powered NightLight is specifically designed to provide subtle illumination rather than flooding a room with light.

That means you can:

  • Walk safely through your home at night.
  • Visit the bathroom without fully waking yourself.
  • Check on children without disturbing their sleep.
  • Create a calmer nighttime environment.

The result is a home that feels safer and more comfortable after dark.

A Perfect Match for Your Solatube Daylighting System

The NightLight has been designed specifically to integrate with compatible Solatube systems.

Because it fits discreetly within the existing daylighting system, it doesn't change the clean appearance of your ceiling or affect the outstanding daylight performance that Solatube is known for.

It simply adds another layer of functionality.

By day, your Solatube fills your home with beautiful natural daylight.

By night, it continues working by providing a gentle source of illumination.

It's an elegant example of smart design doing more with less.

A Smarter Alternative to Traditional Night Lights

Many homes rely on plug-in night lights that stay connected to the mains year-round.

While each one uses only a small amount of electricity, they still consume power every night and often need replacing over time.

The Solatube Solar Powered NightLight offers a different approach.

Instead of using household electricity, it harnesses renewable solar energy already captured through your Solatube system.

There are no extension cords, no visible plugs and no additional energy costs.

It's a cleaner, simpler solution that works automatically every evening.

Sustainable Living Made Even Easier

Many New Zealand homeowners are looking for practical ways to reduce their environmental impact without sacrificing comfort.

The Solatube Solar Powered NightLight supports that goal by making the most of renewable energy that's already available.

Combined with the natural daylight provided by your Solatube during the day, it helps reduce reliance on artificial lighting across more hours of the day.

It's a small innovation that can make a meaningful difference over time.

Is the Solatube Solar Powered NightLight Right for Your Home?

If you already enjoy the benefits of a compatible Solatube Daylighting System, adding the Solar Powered NightLight is a simple way to make it even more useful.

It's ideal if you want:

  • A gentle guiding light after dark.
  • Greater nighttime safety around your home.
  • An automatic solution that requires no effort.
  • Reduced reliance on household electricity.
  • A more sustainable way to light your home.

Whether it's installed in a hallway, bathroom or stairwell, the NightLight adds comfort every single evening while keeping your home naturally brighter during the day.

Experience 24-Hour Comfort with Solatube

Natural daylight doesn't have to stop when the sun goes down.

The Solatube Solar Powered NightLight extends the value of your Solatube Daylighting System by providing a soft, automatic glow after sunset, powered entirely by the energy collected during the day.

It's one more way Solatube helps New Zealand homeowners create healthier, brighter and more comfortable homes.
