The Parans System
Parans Solar Lighting creates unique indoor environments where the natural variation of outdoor sunlight is never limited.
Just like the sunflower, the Parans Solar Receiver SP3 tracks the sun to collect its precious light.
Natural sunlight
To work, learn and live in natural light is something that is not only
pleasant and beautiful, but the natural sunlight also plays a crucial role
in keeping our minds alert and our bodies in balance.
Just like the sunflower, the Parans SP3 Solar Receiver follows the sun
during all the sun hours of the day. Harvesting its precious light, the
Parans SP3 system brings natural sunlight far into buildings. It allows
us to stay in touch with the outdoors and access the important
sunlight, even when we need to stay inside.
The Principle
Sunlight is captured by Parans Solar Receivers on the outside of the
building. Optical fibers transfer the sun light through the building
structure and into the indoor environment. Inside, natural sunlight
flows out of the simplisticly designed Parans Solar Luminaires... Here
comes the sun!

Benefits
Health and wellness
Natural sunlight plays a crucial role in our work environment.
Clinical research has proven that natural solar lighting, not only
improves cognitive functions and promotes learning, it also
makes us feel just so much better!
Natural sunlight contains the full visible spectrum and lets
us see the world in all its colours. The flicker-free light holds
the highest quality available and gives us an experience that
no artificial light can. Over the day, the Parans light follows
the beautiful dynamics of the sunlight. Parans Solar Lighting
provides a comfortable and healthy indoor environment!
An Alert Mind and Body
Cognitive studies conducted in school environments show that
students working in classrooms exposed to natural sunlight
progress 20% faster in math tests and 26% faster in reading
tests, as compared to students working in rooms with low or
no access to natural sunlight. In addition, cognitive work force
studies demonstrate that exposure to natural sunlight increases
productivity and wellbeing significantly. Parans Solar Lighting
keeps your mind and body alert!
Filling our indoor areas with healthy sunlight through the Parans Solar Lighting system, brings positive effects to our health and wellbeing.

Filling our indoor areas with healthy sunlight through the Parans Solar Lighting system, brings positive effects to our health and wellbeing.
The Health Spectrum of the Sun
The reason why sunlight is so good for us, is that it gives a full
spectrum light, which contains all colours. However it also
contains IR and UV radiation, which are not visible to the
human eye.
The Parans Solar Lighting system filters out all non-visible
radiation, reducing the need for cooling our indoor
environments.

In any building where a comfortable and healthy indoor environment matters, Parans Solar Lighting offers a valuable contribution.
Applications
Spaces for Work and Gatherings
Office rooms are often placed along the outer walls, as employees prefer
to sit close to the windows. Conference rooms are a good example
of a space that may be left without access to natural light. In order to
bring the energizing sun light to guests and important meetings, new
solutions have to be used.
Parans Solar Lighting is the solution that brings healthy sunlight into
every room!
Hospitals and Other Large Buildings
Hospitals are often very large buildings and because of their size, natural
sunlight becomes limited. Windows simply cannot be placed everywhere
needed. At the same time it is important to provide a healing and
positive atmosphere and a comfortable working environment for people
spending many hours inside the hospital building.
Parans Solar Lighting overcomes these problems and brings healthy
sunlight into every room!

In any building where a comfortable and healthy indoor environment matters, Parans Solar Lighting offers a valuable contribution.
Making the Most out of Real Estate
Many buildings are deep and focus stays on providing energy efficient
construction, meaning that windows and light shafts cannot be installed
everywhere. The inhabitants of the buildings get limited access to natural
sunlight, lowering the value of floor space.
Parans Solar Lighting raises the value and brings healthy sunlight into
every room!
Public Environments
Public buildings and shopping malls are complex from a daylighting
perspective, because of their size and shape. Often, not enough natural light
can be brought inside, as windows and light shafts cannot reach far enough.
Parans Solar Lighting creates attractive indoor environments and brings
healthy sunlight into every room!
Note: It has been demonstrated that retail sales can increase by up to 40% in environments made more comfortable and interesting by providing natural sunlight.

Product Line
Parans Solar Receivers
Parans Solar Receiver
Parans SP3 solar receivers can be mounted on roofs or facades and will track the
sun over the full day. Specially designed optical lenses capture and concentrate the
optimal amount of sunlight into the Parans Solar Cable for immediate transfer to the
inside of the building.
Parans Solar Cable
The fiber cables that transport the captured sunlight are thin, flexible and have
optimized light transmission. That means that natural sunlight can reach deep inside
buildings… To areas where sunlight normally never reaches!
Parans Solar Luminaires
Inside, sunlight flows from Parans Solar Luminaires. Using no electricity, they create
beautiful, healthy illumination by providing the highest quality light available…
Natural sunlight!
Parans Helpers
Parans offers a range of helpful installation equipment that can be used to facilitate
installation. Parans Roof Brackets are available for different building techniques. Parans
Cable Glands is used to close the opening around the cables, creating a tight seal.

Parans Solar Luminaires
Parans L1 Luminaire
The Parans L1 Luminaire spreads part of the light, and shapes the beam of direct
parans light into a square of light. The square light beam reminds us of the light
falling through a skylight and the luminaire adds shape to the room.
The units can be hung together, to make a larger light installation that opens up
the room and distributes healthy sunlight.
The L1 Luminaire comes in two sizes - Small and Medium.
Parans L3 Spotlight
The Parans L3 Spotlight directs the light into a 30° spotlight beam, that can be
pointed to highlight and illuminate. Mounted protruding, the L3 has maximum
flexibility, whereas it gives a discrete look when mounted recessed.The Parans L3 Spotlight creates a 30° light beam, which can be used to highlight or illuminate.
The Parans L1 Luminaire spreads part of the light and creates a square light beam, resembling the light falling through a window.
