It efficiently collects sunlight. The six optical fibers can be extended up to one kilometer and can illuminate 500 square meters. It is about 2 meters long, 2 meters wide and 2.5 meters high. The price starts at 5 million yen (excluding consumption tax). It has been used in buildings and train stations in Kumamoto Prefecture, and its sales have been about 100 million yen.
