Through an exclusive partnership with Sweden-based Parans Solar Lighting, Wasco Skylight Products is proud to announce that the revolutionary system that brings full spectrum sunlight into areas of a building never before touched by the sun, is now available in the U.S. through Wasco's network of dealers and its professional services group.
This lighting alternative replaces artificial light with natural light. The system is proven to bring positive effects to health and wellbeing, while also filtering out all non-visible radiation, thereby reducing the need for cooling our indoor environments. Additionally, the Parans lighting system increases energy efficiency by 16% and lowers overall carbon emissions. To accomplish this, the patented Parans system tracks the sun and transfers it via fiber optics to inside environments and through specially designed luminaires(s). The system is fairly compact and easy to install. Pricing varies based on use and other specifications.
The Parans system has been enthusiastically embraced by the architectural community, building owners, and even the residential market. "Parans fills an important void in the daylighting industry by bringing full spectrum daylight to interior spaces of buildings," notes Keith Sportack of Pace Representatives, a leading building envelop specialist. "The Parans system can bring natural daylight and all its amazing benefits to spaces even four floors below."
Current applications include general offices and conference rooms, health care facilities, government buildings and shopping malls, among others.
Recently showcased at LIGHTFAIR® International 2012, the world's largest annual architectural and commercial lighting trade show and conference, the Parans Solar Lighting by Wasco was very well received. "We are excited about the response we have received since the product launch at LIGHTFAIR®," states Wasco's CEO, Jeff Frank "We are receiving calls daily from businesses and homeowners interested in bringing natural light into their environments and keeping all the health benefits of vitamin D intact."
Wasco has worked on solutions for sun lighting for over 75 year and understands the importance of the sun's impact on health and wellness.
