>MARYKE STEFFENS, REPORTER : Light pipes like this one have actually been 
>around for years, and they're a pretty simple concept. Light comes in 
>through the roof and out the bottom into your room.
>
>I have had those small round light domes in two houses and have found that 
>while it gives light it also transmits heat as well - far too much in 
>summer.
>Heat in winter might be an advantage but not in summer.
>
>Can anyone recall what those heat collectors were called in the early days 
>of solar energy?  Set at an agle below a window, they collected heat and it 
>flowed into the room behind, and the vent could be closed in summer.
