Abstract: The use of daylighting in a room is certainly better than the use of lamplight alone, due to its undubitable chromatic properties and correlated psychological effects. In many cases, especially for pre-existing buildings, the income of daylighting appears an unsolvable problem forcing people to use intensively electric lighting. In this paper the use of a component for natural lighting of a space with no direct openings to the exterior is presented. The project was carried out in a building situated in the old town centre of S. Colombano al Lambro near Milan.
