The principle of the prism

When rays of light strike the hypotenuse face of a right-angled prism at 90°, the laws of refraction are such that total internal reflection occurs.

Diffuse daylight, on the other hand, enters the room without hindrance. As the sun changes position in the course of the day, its path also varying with the seasons, the BOMIN SOLAR control system tilts the prisms so that direct sunlight is always incident at 90°.

Prismatic systems PRISMALITE offer an optimum protection against direct sunlight and glare, at the same time allowing daylight to be used or redirected with little loss, and there is still a view to the outside despite affording the required degree of glare protection.

Key features

In addition to the usual solar shading requirements PRISMALITE prismatic systems offer a host of other advantages:

• Daylight into the depth of the room
• Pleasant ambiance with natural lighting
• Sunlight redirected as needed
• Energy savings
• Innovative architecture
• Variable workplace layout
• Combined lighting techniques
