−	Also called TDDs, tubular daylight devices consist of a fixed ocular that collects light from the roof of a building and directs it into a tubular 'pipe' lined with a highly-reflective surface. The light is reflected down the tube by this surface to diffusers in the interior of the building that direct it into occupied spaces. ~~(See [http://www.solatube.co.uk/ Solatube] for an example of a tubular daylight system.)~~	+	Also called TDDs, tubular daylight devices consist of a fixed ocular that collects light from the roof of a building and directs it into a tubular 'pipe' lined with a highly-reflective surface.

−	As a result, much more light can be collected, and it can be delivered 3 to 7 times deeper into the building than would be possible with TDD's. However, a 60 cm opening is required in the roof, and the system is relatively inexpensive. ~~(See [http://www.sundolier.com/ Sundolier] for an example of a vertical daylight system.)~~	+	As a result, much more light can be collected, and it can be delivered 3 to 7 times deeper into the building than would be possible with TDD's.
