Natural light is human-friendly and more conducive to work than artificial light, which we usually use in industrial halls, warehouses or production plants. Objects of this type are very often insufficiently illuminated by sunlight, and sometimes even completely devoid of it.

When we have a problem with traditional lighting installation
It is not always possible to install windows. What is the way out of such a situation? Contrary to appearances, we do not have to limit ourselves only to artificial light. Here are three ways to effectively illuminate an industrial hall with sunlight.
- Longlights. It is one of the frequently used solutions that allows for natural light illumination of various industrial facilities, including halls, as well as agricultural structures, hangars and sports stadiums. Our company specializes in the production of polycarbonate rooflights . One of their advantages is that they are much less weight than glass longlights. They work well for any roof structure – both flat and sloping. Our offer includes the following continuous rooflights: vertical, arched, gabled, mono-pitched, pyramidal, polycarbonate, with partitions, with flaps, ridge and aluminium.
- Polycarbonate skylights. This is another way to illuminate natural industrial halls with light. They perfectly fulfill their functions even in those facilities where it is not possible to install windows. They provide up to four times more light than standard windows. Their use is especially recommended in large industrial halls, where they are most often mounted to wooden rafters. We provide many types of polycarbonate skylights in 28 dimensions available in various configurations (m.in. ridge, aluminum, fixed, openable, ventilation, with the function of a roof hatch, etc.).
- Tubular with rigid tube. Due to their specific design, they allow for impressive lighting of interiors with natural light. They are created using advanced technology in the light-reflecting layer, thanks to which they provide much more light than standard flexible light-transmitting cables.
Lighting of an industrial hall is a very important element of its functionality and safety. Below are 3 ways to illuminate the roof of an industrial hall:
- Roof openings: Roof openings are an effective way to bring natural light into an industrial hall. Different types of skylights can be used, such as fixed, openable, ventilated, etc. Light introduced through roof openings is best in sunlight and does not require additional costs related to energy consumption.
- LED Industrial Lamps: LED industrial lamps are an increasingly popular solution for illuminating industrial halls. They have many advantages, including a longer lifespan than traditional incandescent bulbs, lower energy consumption, higher brightness, and are also more environmentally friendly. LED lamps can be mounted on the ceiling or on the walls of an industrial hall for optimal lighting.
- Roof windows: Roof windows are another way to bring natural light into an industrial hall. They can be mounted in different locations, depending on your needs and preferences, for optimal lighting. In the case of a hall with a concrete roof, roof windows can be installed in specially designed ventilation grilles.
Lighting of an industrial hall can be achieved by using roof openings, LED industrial lamps or roof windows. All these solutions allow natural light to be introduced into the industrial hall, which improves its functionality and safety.

Advantages of illuminating industrial halls with sunlight
Lighting industrial halls with sunlight has many advantages, which translate into both economic and environmental aspects, as well as the well-being of employees. Here are some key benefits:
- Energy savings: The most obvious advantage is the significant energy savings. Using sunlight to illuminate industrial halls reduces the reliance on artificial lighting, which leads to lower electricity bills.
- Reduction of CO2 emissions: Using sunlight as the main light source during the day contributes to reducing carbon emissions as the use of fossil fuel energy is reduced.
- Improving working conditions: Natural sunlight is known to improve the well-being and performance of employees. It is less strenuous on the eyes than artificial lighting, which can help to reduce fatigue and errors at work.
- Employee health: Exposure to natural light has a positive effect on the overall health of employees, including improved mood and circadian rhythms. This can lead to a reduction in sickness absenteeism.
- Increase the attractiveness of the workspace: An industrial hall illuminated by natural light is perceived as more welcoming and comfortable, which can attract better employees and increase their job satisfaction.
- Reduction of maintenance costs: Solar lighting systems such as skylights typically require less maintenance than traditional lighting systems, which can lead to further savings.
- Increased safety: In the event of a power failure, natural sunlight can provide sufficient illumination to maintain safe working conditions.
- Sustainable development: The use of sunlight is sustainable and can contribute to a better image of a company as environmentally conscious.
- Reducing the impact on the local environment: Reducing electricity consumption also reduces the burden on local power grids and contributes to reducing the environmental impact of industrial activities.
The use of sunlight to illuminate industrial halls brings many benefits, ranging from financial savings, through improved working conditions, to a positive impact on the environment. This is a solution worth considering in the context of modern industrial facility management practices.
