The SunTracker Active Daylighting System is intended as an augmentation to daylighting systems in warehousing, retail, manufacturing and commercial applications. The 4-ft by 4-ft unit consists of a single mirror rotating inside of a clear acrylic dome. The solar-powered unit identifies the location of the sun through a built-in GPS system. It automatically adjusts the mirror to maximize the amount of sunlight entering the skylight, even when the sun is as low as 10° on the horizon. Power storage captures solar energy for cloudy days. The dome is mounted on a metal frame, and typically is installed on a 20-ft center, providing light to over 400 sq ft. Ciralight; 435-645-2728; www.ciralight.com
