The prism tile canopies mounted outside over the windows send light skimming across the ceiling, so that workers deeper in the room also have natural light coming over their left shoulders. Multiple prescriptions of prism tiles are used, so some light is also sent horizontally and slightly downwards.[1]

Daylight redirecting film (DRF) is a thin, flexible plastic film which can be applied to a window to refract or reflect incoming light upwards, so that the deeper parts of the room are lit more evenly. It can be used as a substitute for opaque blinds. It is a form of prism lighting.

The human eye's response to light is non-linear: halving the light level does not halve the perceived brightness of a space, it makes it look only slightly dimmer.{{citation needed|date=October 2017}} If light is redistributed from the brightest parts of a room to the dimmest, the room therefore appears brighter overall, and more space can be given a useful and comfortable level of illumination (see before and after images from an 1899 article, left). This can reduce the need for artificial lighting.

Refraction and total internal reflection inside optical prisms can bend beams of light. This bending of the light allows it to be redistributed.

While the films do save energy from lighting, the savings vary substantially by climate, aspect, electricity costs, and existing lighting type. At 2014 costs, including labour, payback time may be measured in decades.[3]

This film increases the sunlight area by 200%.

It is effective not only for lighting energy but also for cooling and heating energy saving. With the growing interest in green energy buildings, the interest in these Daylight redirecting films is also growing.

Manufacture

Daylight redirecting film is made of acrylic[3] on a flexible polyester backing, one side coated with a pressure-sensitive adhesive (to make it peel-and-stick).

There are two types of film. Some film is moulded with tiny prisms, making a flexible peel-and-stick miniature prismatic panel. The prisms are joined at the edges into a sheet. A prism sheet is somewhat like a linear Fresnel lens, but each ridge may be identical. Unlike a Fresnel lens, the light is not intended to be focused, but used for anidolic lighting.

Other film is moulded with thin near-horizontal voids protruding into or through the acrylic; the slits reflect light hitting their top surfaces upwards.[1] Refraction is minimized, to avoid colouring the light.

The reflection-based films are more transparent (both are translucent), but they tend to send the light up at the ceiling, not deeper into the room. Refraction-based films are translucent rather than transparent, but offer finer control over the direction of the outgoing light beam; the film can be made in a variety of prism shapes to refract light by a variety of angles. Refraction-based films are a lighter modern version of glass prism tiles.

Daylight redirecting window film was initially made of one redirecting film and one glare-reducing diffusing film, often located on different interior surfaces of a double-glazed window, but integrated single films are now available.[10]

Due to the prism structure, it works only at certain angles. By making DRF blind, you can always keep the same effect.

Add UV blocking filters to the film to block harmful UV rays.
