Universal Light Add-on Kit
MORE INFO
Universal Light Add-on Kit
This add-on easily attaches to the inside of the system’s tubing to deliver lighting for nighttime use. It also prevents unnecessary clutter on your ceiling because it uses the same space as a Solatube Daylighting System.
The lighting kit works with either LED or incandescent bulbs. The 160 DS light fixture holds one bulb. The 290 DS light fixture holds two bulbs. The maximum watts allowable in either fixture is 23 watts.
0-10v Daylight Dimmer
MORE INFO0-10v Daylight Dimmer
0-10V Daylight Dimmer
At times it may be necessary to reduce the amount of daylight in a building. The optional 0-10V Daylight Dimmer uses a patented butterfly Design to adjust daylight illumination levels. The 0-10V Daylight Dimmer does not come with a controller.
Lutron® DVTV 0-10V Controller
Individual or multiple Daylight Dimmers can be controlled using 3rd party 0-10V controllers. These can be simple or very complex, depending on the application. Solatube provides a simple option for most applications, the Lutron® DVTV 0-10V Controller. This controller can be ordered in addition to the 0-10V Daylight Dimmer, or a 3rd party controller can be sourced.
