Specifier: Dynamic dome designed specifically to harvest the maximum amount of daylight delivered into commercial and industrial spaces at solar elevation angles 10 to 40 degrees.  The initial rise of the dome is designed at a minimum 60 degree slope to eliminate reflection, and refract early morning and late afternoon light into the building space.   The dome height is 30% of the skylight width in order to harvest maximum levels of daylight at low solar elevation angles.  Prismatic sheets are not offered for the outer dome as prisms pointed away from sun refract as much as 10% the light to the exterior resulting in less daylight passing through the prismatic material.  Prismatic sheets used for the inner dome where the prisms point to the light source allows all the daylight to pass through and fully diffuses the light as intended. VELUX refers to polycarbonate dynamic domes as LuxGuard and LuxGuard Plus.  LuxGuard Plus skylight certified for use in windborne debris areas and is Factory Mutual (FM) approved.  LuxGuard skylight certified, listed and labeled for air, water, and structural loads.
