LIGHT TUBE - A Daylighting System

Exploring the movement of various objects around us, I came upon an interesting movement of  an exhaust system and  explored to understand how form and kinematics work together.
Light Tube: Similar to how sunflowers orients themselves to the sun for optimum sunlight, the light tube uses sunlight for lighting up dark interior spaces during the day, and a solar light provision helps create an ambient light for the space in the later evening when the sun is down. The product has a unique multi-axial circular rotation which allows the tube to align itself to the angle towards the sun which has a maximum output of sunlight. The rotation also allows the user to adjust the light output according to need and convenience. Providing a lighting solution that does not use electricity to light up the spaces which do not get enough natural light as an optimum daylighting alternative.
