Configurations and solutions considered

Victor’s problem is the lighting in his loft. The light and sun rays are not directed into the floors of his loft. Despite this disadvantage, he finds the property has potential and wants to find a solution to make the rooms upstairs brighter and find optimal lighting to reveal all the originality of his loft with natural light.

Victor contacted us to find a solution. After the advice of our lighting experts, the solution was the new model, perfectly adapted for the lighting of his loft, the Motorized Garden Reflector. It allows him to redirect the sun’s rays with a remote control to wherever he wishes in his interior. It will therefore light both his bedroom and his office from the room where it is located.

As soon as it was installed, natural light was brought into his loft immediately. The upstairs rooms are highlighted with natural light and the sun’s rays are diffused in each of the rooms.

Results

The results in the upstairs rooms are amazing. You can see that the sun’s rays are diffused throughout the room and bring a lot of natural light. Victor is delighted with the result.
