Abstract
A structure and method for utilizing natural light indoors or in the interior in a moving space are disclosed. The structure includes: at least one natural light condenser configured to reflect the natural light; a natural light transmitter configured such that the natural light reflected by the at least one natural light condenser is moved to the natural light transmitter; a smart lamp unit including an artificial light generator; a smart lamp driver located adjacent to the smart lamp unit and configured to move the smart lamp unit; and a controller connected to the at least one natural light condenser, the natural light transmitter, the smart lamp unit, and the smart lamp driver so as to transmit and receive information therewith. The controller is configured to combine artificial light with the natural light in response to a user request signal to radiate a combination of the artificial and natural light.
