our tests
In multiple third party tests, no other industrial / commercial skylight product has been able to beat Sunoptics on lighting performance and structural design.
The Sunoptics in-house Photometric Lab is available to our customers to verify the difference for themselves.
Sunoptics has always been committed to providing architects, building owners and lighting designers with the information they need to specify proper daylighting solutions. Accurate information is an essential tool for lighting design—and for end users—to know the results they can expect from our products.
Our customers rely on Sunoptics to help them quantify proper daylighting levels throughout their buildings. Because we eliminate any guesswork about product performance, it is easy to quantify the payback on your daylighting investment.
Sunoptics products have been widely tested in studies conducted by independent research organizations and energy organizations. Please refer to our resources section for copies of studies/links.
Our on-site Photometric Lab
All Sunoptics photometric R&D is performed in our state-of-the-art, 21-station photometric lab. Using Konica-Minolta foot candle meters, we take an instant reading of how well the light is being spread under various types of glazing materials and dome shapes. As a company, we test extensively to make sure Sunoptics products not only meet our quality standards, but continue to set the industry standard. If we find that there are new materials or processes that would improve daylighting output and performance, we implement them.
