/Several commercial properties in the form of malls have collapsed and closed shop, the latest victims of the recession. But they have been getting it hard for some years now and the recession proved to be the last nail hastening their demise. Consumer confidence has gone down a lot in the recent year as people tried to foresee the recession, signs of which emerged last year as the death throes of the financial markets began. The housing market collapsed with the sub-prime lending crisis and the domino effect took over, sending markets crashing one after the other. Not even the charisma and hope for change promised by Mr. Obama worked to stem the collapse and to this day, we are still seeing more of the effects of the unstable financial markets.

/Tubular Skylights have been around for a long time and they have been an easy way to green the many commercial spaces we have in and around our cities. Using state of the art manufacturing processes that has sheets of metal coated to a mirror finish, they bring in the natural light from the roof down into the space that needs light without any energy used in the process, clean and green.
Topped by clear domes that reflects the sun’s rays into the tube, they can be used in conjunction with diffusers that use opaque plastic sheets to soften the glare of the sun’s rays that gets in. Need more light, simply use ones without diffusers to light larger areas that used to require power guzzling light fixtures even during the day.
