Apollo® Light Pipe	Orion Energy Management Platform - Phase 3
Holistic Energy Management System	The Apollo® Light Pipe utilizes the lowest cost light available -- the sun. Apollo can reduce your energy costs for lighting to zero for significant portions of the day. Daylight is harvested through the dome and travels through the sealed light pipe. Focused daylight enters the building. The Apollo® Light Pipe is designed to be a one-for-one daytime replacement of a typical electrical lighting fixture. When used with Orion's InteLite® controls and high-efficient lighting systems, you can easily measure and manage your energy usage and immediately improve your bottom line.
Maximum Light Harvest Collector	Proprietary collector dome is designed specifically to interrupt the low sun angles associated with seasonal change, early morning, and late afternoon angles of incidence. Our proprietary molding process ensures a water-clear finish with minimal surface tension flaws.
Minimal Conversion Loss	Delivers best results when demand on the energy grid is greatest. Harvests daylight and delivers usable light energy almost five times more efficient than a photovoltaic system.
Base & Peak Energy Load Reduction	With complete integration of the Orion Power Technology platforms and controls, lighting energy consumption can be reduced to near zero.
Glazing Quality Acrylic Collector Dome	Patent-pending process to manufacture an acrylic dome with the highest possible transmission rating.
Seamless Flashing	One-piece .080 spun aluminum roof flashing ensures a waterproof installation. All components are made of construction-grade materials. No galvanic corrosion or rusting is possible.
Light Pipe Reflector Tube	Large diameter aperture made of highly polished material provides over 98 percent total reflectivity.
Proprietary Diffuser	Delivers maximum zonal cavity light distribution.
