Traditional skylights mean cutting an opening in your roof. Redilight is the solar powered alternative: a 9mm daylight panel in the ceiling, with a small solar panel on the roof. Installed in Melbourne by Phoslux.
A traditional skylight needs an opening cut through the roof and ceiling, with flashing sealed around it. That is where leaks usually start, and it is why many people avoid skylights altogether.
Redilight takes a different approach. A small solar panel sits on the roof and a slim LED panel sits in the ceiling, so you get daylight in the room without a roof cut out, without structural cutting and without leaks. If you have an old skylight you want gone, Phoslux replaces it with Redilight and restores the roof as part of the upgrade.
| Traditional skylight | Redilight (Phoslux) | |
|---|---|---|
| Roof opening | Cut through the roof and ceiling | No roof cut out |
| Structural cutting | Usually required | None |
| Leak risk | Flashing can fail over time | No opening to leak |
| Power | Passive daylight | Solar powered, no power bills |
| Heat | Can add heat gain in summer | No heat gain |
| Brightness control | None | Optional remote handset and dimming |
Redilight is a solar powered daylight system. A small solar panel on the roof powers a slim 9mm LED panel in your ceiling, so you get natural looking daylight with no roof cut out.
It does the same job, bringing daylight into a dark room, but it is a light panel rather than a window. That is why it needs no roof cut out and no structural cutting.
There is no roof opening to seal, which is where skylight leaks normally begin. Redilight is a no roof cut out, no leaks system.
Yes. When Phoslux replaces an old skylight with Redilight, the roof is restored as part of the upgrade. We look at it first at the free measure.
Redilight is solar powered, so there are no power bills for the daylight panel and no heat gain.
