Sun light bender

[Guruji]

Hi I was thinking of a sun light bender so that one can grow inside. I saw tubes with shining mirrors would work but what about nylon strips?
Thanks

solar tube lights

I installed solar tube lights in my kitchen and a bathroom.

15" diameter one is same at 500W of light with full sun and 13" one
is 300W of light.

Hi Aaron interesting. I saw those on an advert and it seems that they work. I was thinking of using alot of nylon threads instead of those tubes and see if it works.

channeling light

Guruji,

Fiber optics would work well. They'll shine the light and are very flexible.



If there is no light, plants have shown to grow by putting a copper plate
in the sun and wire from the plate indoors to the darkness to the soil
and the plant responds.

Yes that's a proof that fibre optics work. Regarding the copper plate first of all I don't have one but when I tried with an aluminium plate did not work in darkness maybe a copper plate another story.

I've never tried the copper plate method myself either - would have to
be tested of course.

I don't know the price of fiber optics - maybe made of nylon or something
but they can definitely transmit light around tight corners...

Good luck on your projects!
