illume Solar Skylights
The Illume™ Pro Premium Range offers a versatile selection of round, square, and rectangular solar skylight alternatives designed to suit a wide variety of residential and commercial applications. Each model combines a roof-mounted solar panel with a high-performance LED light fitting to deliver natural-looking daylight without the need for a traditional skylight shaft.
Unlike conventional skylights that rely on direct sunlight entering through glazing, Illume™ Pro uses advanced LED technology to replicate the appearance of natural daylight. The light output has a colour temperature of approximately 6000K, producing a crisp, bright daylight-white light that closely resembles natural daytime conditions. This makes it particularly effective for illuminating internal rooms, hallways, bathrooms, and workspaces where access to natural light is limited.
Available in both flush-mount and surface-mount configurations, the Illume Pro range provides an effective lighting solution for spaces ranging from compact bathrooms and hallways to large open-plan living areas and commercial environments.
