There are a number of imaginative ways to introduce light into your dark basement, possible solutions could include Sun Pipes, Window Wells or the Sun House examples are shown below.


The Sunpipe seen here gathers the Sun's rays from it's locatio at the base of the house and with the help ofthe pipe's mirrored inner coating it reflects the rays down in to the basement below.

Once installed Sunpipes cost nothing to run as the harness the Sun's rays and channel the light in to your room, lighting it for free from drawn to dusk, even on an overcast day they bring light into otherwise inaccessible basement areas.

The Window Well pictured above is another way to introduce natural light into a dark basement. The Window Well which unlike a Sunpipe maybe opened to allow fresh air in can be built into the roof of the basement acting very much like any standard roof light.

An economical solution can be achieved with the innovative Sun House from Basement Systems
