My home is in a single exposure

>> Why is my room dark?

Natural light only comes in on one side

Every photographer will tell you this. To light a model well, you need light from several sources. It’s much the same for lighting a living room. A base of zenithal light and breakthroughs of through light from the windows on both sides of the house. But not all our homes are like this. Often the windows are located on only one side of the flat or house.

 

How can a room be well lit with natural light when the daylight only comes in from one side?

I would like to capture the light of the sky despite a simple exposure

Light from the sky spreads in all directions. But when it comes into contact with the window, only the lateral projection of light enters the dwelling. This is the reason for the low light output of windows. In comparison, the zenithal light produced by a roof window is four times more powerful.

 

The light reflector to homogenise the lighting in the room

Unless you are under the roof in a flat, it is not possible to install a roof window. But then, how can you make the most of the power of the zenithal light with simple windows? That’s what the Light Reflector is all about. Placed on the window sill, it works like a roof window with the same ease of installation as a blind. Particularly appreciable in single exposure, the Espaciel Reflector brings in daylight in depth and compensates for the absence of double exposure.
