National Daylight Appreciation Day

Daylight Appreciation Day is when we thank the Universe for sunshine. It is essential for life on our planet. The sun warms, inspires, and pleases. According to scientific studies, sunlight helps reduce stress levels.

History

The date when Daylight Appreciation Day first appeared is not known, but its founder is. This is the American company Solatube International, which creates innovative lighting systems using natural sunlight. Tubular devices developed by the company’s specialists capture not only direct sunlight but also collect reflected light from the entire sky. They provide soft, but bright illumination of any premises in any weather and at any time of day.

Even on gloomy cloudy days, early in the morning, and late in the evening, Solatube optical technologies can fill the house with real sunlight. The company specifically came up with this holiday to raise people’s awareness of the benefits of natural light and to remind us to respect our planet’s resources: the use of daylight saves energy.
