We will try to provide you with as much information as we can and even link you to more technical sites, for those of you that need the technical info. "Lighting Design" can be technical. Through the years we have spoken to thousands of people, we have all grown up with lighting. Most of us haven't learned what the difference is between a lumen, a watt, a foot-candle, and a Kelvin for example. We know that on a sunny day we need to protect our eyes from the sun and in our homes we simply flip a switch for indoor lighting. However, something it doesn't seem right when those indoor lights need to be on all day. Most light bulbs used cast a yellow color, produce uncontrolled heat, and with fuel costs on the rise we are forced to be on the payment plan (your monthly electric bill).

Since 1994, when I started Brighter Concepts Ltd. we have partnered with Solatube International by providing excellent service, which compliments their superior products. Our strong commitment to Solatube International, its' products, innovations and dedication to providing the world's finest line of tubular skylights and solar vents, has allowed us to grow and expand our business into 3 major Midwest cities. Our four showrooms display both installed and do-it-yourself models. Allowing our clients the ability to "see the light" before making their decisions. Daylighting a space can be the most dramatic change to any room. The Solatube eliminates the need for daytime lights. It may even reduce your AC bills and make the space more inviting and pleasing to spend time in.

This site presents details on both of our main products, the Solatube Skylight and its' accessories and Solar Star Solar Powered Attic Fan. These two products represent the latest advancements in daylighting technology and attic ventilation. The Solatube "Brighten Up" series (10" and 14") is designed to add natural light to almost any area, be it a home or business. The combination of a quick installation and reasonably priced product, make it a very affordable home improvement project. The SolaMaster (21") is used in schools, offices, retail spaces, hospitals, and generally any single story commercial or industrial buildings. It is designed to replace electric light fixtures when daylight is available. It can be integrated with the light fixtures and a sensor to automatically control the light level and save energy. Brighter Concepts can provide an energy analysis to determine the pay back on the investment.
