Abstract
A modular natural lighting system having a microprocessor controlled heliostat which collects the sun's rays. The collected rays are directed towards a dielectric mirror that reflects visible solar radiation through an aperture in the roof of a building. The reflected radiation is directed by a distribution system towards a plurality of output stations positioned within the building for natural illumination of selected internal areas.
