Powerdaylight Ø 35 cm Cradle Eco flat roof exterior (roof) components

The Powerdaylight Eco version is a specially insulated daylight tube, making it one of the most energy-efficient daylight tubes in the range. The Eco version improves both the thermal and acoustic properties of the daylight system, making it suitable for  passive construction.

The Powerdaylight Cradle with a flat glass daylight collector is part of our new generation of daylight tubes. It combines the design and aesthetics of a flat glass skylight with the advanced technology of a daylight tube.

The Eco variant allows slightly less daylight to pass through than the standard Powerdaylight due to the additional thermal and sound insulation, which in our opinion means that the standard version offers the best mix of price, insulation and daylight admission.

Key features compared to 'standard' Powerdaylight:

• Better insulation value: the thermal transfer coefficient (U-value) of the installed system is U = 0.7 W/m²K* (passive house standard), compared to 1.3 W/m²K for the standard model.

With the Powerdaylight Cradle, we consciously consider the potential of reusing materials. The materials used, such as glass, are 100% recyclable and sustainable. The flat glass daylight collectors themselves were previously labeled "Cradle to Cradle Certified™ - Bronze."

Passive building

Passive construction is a building method in which a home or commercial building is designed to be so well-insulated, airtight, and energy-efficient that heating or cooling is barely required. By optimising solar heat, high-quality insulation, and ventilation with heat recovery, the indoor climate remains comfortable with minimal energy consumption. The result is a sustainable and energy-efficient building, often without a traditional heating system.

Brand Powerdaylight Eco

The Powerdaylight Eco was developed in response to market demand for improved thermal and acoustic insulation. By leveraging the knowledge gained during tests with the standard Solatube daylight system, conducted by TNO and Peutz, the product has been further refined. In collaboration with suppliers and the PassiefBouwen Foundation, a partner organisation in the Netherlands focused on passive building solutions, Techcomlight has begun developing a new line of daylight tubes.

At its core, the Powerdaylight Eco is an evolved version of the Solatube daylighting system. Techcomlight integrated the Powerdaylight Eco to meet higher insulation standards. The Powerdaylight Eco is now sold globally under its own brand, emphasising its environmentally friendly and performance-enhancing qualities.
