1. A solar light distribution system comprising:
a first tubular member extending lengthwise along a central, longitudinal axis (CL1), said first tubular member having a first support wall defining a first light transfer duct having a regular convex polygonal sectional shape, one or more light receiving ports, and a first light delivery port that are optically coupled; one or more solar light concentrators affixed externally to said first tubular member and each one being located proximate to one of the one or more light receiving ports, said light concentrators for receiving solar light waves and directing the light waves through the one or more light receiving ports and into the first light transfer duct; a first turning reflector disposed inside of the first light transfer duct and located proximate to each one of the one or more light receiving ports, each of said first turning reflectors having a reflecting surface for reflecting the light waves from one of the light receiving ports, down the first light transfer duct, to the first light delivery port; and wherein each of said first turning reflectors also includes a deflecting surface that is separate from the reflecting surface for diverting the light waves, introduced through the one or more light receiving ports, away from the first turning reflectors to facilitate a summation of the light waves within the first light transfer duct. |
