It would be easy to forget, in all of the sun\u2019s majesty, that it not only provides important benefits for the early, but for the people who live here as well;<\/p>\n Daylight has a direct impact on our well-being, productivity, and overall sense of satisfaction. When you get regular exposure to sunlight you tend to be more positive, less stressed, sleep better at night and have a higher sense of welfare.<\/strong><\/p>\n Because sunlight causes our brains to produce serotonin, a hormone that can improve mood by alleviating pain, you tend to find yourself more energized, happy and well-rested when you receive adequate exposure to natural light. And who\u2019s going to complain about that?<\/span>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” custom_margin=”|auto|-7px|auto||” custom_padding=”1px||4px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” link_text_color=”#000000″ header_4_font=”Roboto|||on|||||” header_4_text_color=”#34558b” header_5_font=”Roboto|500|||||||” header_5_text_color=”#404040″ background_color=”#f2f2f2″ custom_margin=”0px||||false|false” custom_padding=”15px|10px|15px|15px|false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n It\u2019s no secret we prefer to be in a naturally lit environment as opposed to one that relies solely on electric light sources. Artificial light cannot come close to replicating the quality of natural light and its positive impact on us. And an article in Psychology Today* suggests that the evidence is pretty solid that certain artificial lighting can induce a stress response and negatively impact sleep.* Not so good.<\/span>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” link_text_color=”#000000″ header_4_font=”Roboto|||on|||||” header_4_text_color=”#34558b” header_5_font=”Roboto|500|||||||” header_5_text_color=”#FFFFFF” background_color=”#1a222d” custom_margin=”0px||||false|false” custom_padding=”15px|10px|15px|15px|false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n You can with tubular daylighting, a top lighting system that distributes sunlight throughout the spaces in your home that otherwise wouldn\u2019t receive natural light.<\/p>\n Tubular daylighting allows you to have beautiful, natural light without any complicated structural modifications to your house or gaping holes in your roof.<\/p>\n The process is simple: a dome on top of your roof captures sunlight throughout the day and funnels it through a tube made of the most reflective material in the world, then redistributes it as beautiful, diffused natural light inside your home.<\/p>\n Inside the tube is an integrated solar-electric system that collects energy by day to power a soft nightlight after dark, leaving you with gorgeous, diffused natural light during the day and a moon-like glow at night. It emits just enough light to avoid nighttime tripping hazards such as sleeping dogs and stray toys.<\/span>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” link_text_color=”#000000″ header_4_font=”Roboto|||on|||||” header_4_text_color=”#34558b” header_5_font=”Roboto|500|||||||” header_5_text_color=”#FFFFFF” background_color=”#34558b” custom_margin=”0px||||false|false” custom_padding=”15px|10px|15px|15px|false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n * Dunckley, Victoria L., M.D. \u201cWhy CFLs Aren\u2019t Such a Bright Idea.\u201d Psychology Today.
