Modular system
With an innovative dome ring, the entire Eco system can now be mounted on the roof with just three screws. This is a significant improvement over the traditional method, which required separate installation of the reflector, dome, and dome screws. This new approach not only speeds up the installation process but also reduces dependency on weather conditions, making rooftop work faster and more efficient.
Advantages during quick and easy installation:
- Manual lifting is still allowed and possible due to low weight;
- Little to no structural modifications to the roof structure;
- Complete system, from the roof flashing to the interior finishing;
- Round openings can easily be made in existing constructions such as concrete;
- Interior finishing immediately ensures a complete finish, without carpentry or painting.

Brand Powerdaylight ECO
The Powerdaylight ECO was developed in response to the market's demand for enhanced thermal and acoustic insulation. Leveraging the knowledge gained from tests on the standard Solatube daylight system, conducted by TNO and Peutz, the product underwent further refinement. Collaborating with suppliers and Stichting PassiefBouwen, a partner organisation in the Netherlands focused on passive building solutions, Techcomlight initiated the development of a new line of daylight tubes.
At its core, the Powerdaylight ECO is an evolved version of the Solatube daylight system. Techcomlight, which has been the distributor of Solatube products for over 25 years, integrated new features to meet higher insulation standards. The Powerdaylight ECO is now sold globally under its own brand name, emphasising its eco-friendly and performance-enhancing qualities.
