Solar Powered Skylight

MaxLED solar skylights are a smart lighting solution for Ballina homes where a traditional skylight may not be the best fit. The system uses a roof-mounted solar panel to power an LED ceiling light, giving you bright, natural-style indoor lighting with flexible installation.

  • Warranty Backed

    MaxLED is supported by a 10-year warranty on the solar panel and a 3-year warranty on the LED light and battery.

  • Suits Almost Any Roof Type

    MaxLED can be fitted to most roof types, making it a flexible option for many Ballina homes.

  • Strong Light Output

    Available in 250mm and 400mm sizes, MaxLED provides strong indoor brightness with up to 1500 or 2000 lumens.

  • Square or Round Diffusers

    Choose from square or round diffuser styles to match your ceiling, room layout and preferred finish.

  • Light During Blackouts

    The Day & Night model is not connected to the grid, so it can provide light during blackouts when the battery has available charge.

  • Day and Night Lighting Option

    Selected MaxLED models include battery backup, allowing solar energy to be stored for night-time or low-light use.

  • Remote Control Dimming

    The Day & Night model includes remote-control dimming, making it easy to adjust brightness when needed.

MaxLED Solar Skylight Standard

The MaxLED Solar Skylight Standard is a reliable choice for Ballina homes needing brighter daytime lighting. It uses solar energy from a roof-mounted panel to power an indoor LED diffuser, creating the effect of a skylight without a large roof opening or major ceiling changes.

How It Works

  • A solar panel is installed on the roof to collect sunlight.
  • The panel converts sunlight into electricity for the LED light.
  • A supplied cable connects the panel to the indoor ceiling light.
  • A round or square diffuser spreads bright, natural-style light through the room.

This option is ideal for hallways, laundries, wardrobes, bathrooms and darker rooms that need daytime light.

MaxLED24 Solar Skylight Day & Night

The MaxLED24 Day & Night model gives Ballina homes solar-powered lighting during the day, with battery backup for after dark, cloudy weather or low-light periods.

It includes a rechargeable lithium battery, movement sensor, remote control and dimming function, making it a practical option for areas where you want lighting beyond daytime hours.

How It Works

  • A roof-mounted solar panel captures sunlight.
  • Solar energy powers the LED light during the day.
  • Extra energy is stored in the built-in battery.
  • The battery can power the light when sunlight is unavailable.
  • The movement sensor helps activate light when needed.
  • The remote control lets you adjust brightness and operation.

Solar Skylight FAQs

Answered by Mike

Have questions about solar skylights in Ballina NSW? Here are some simple answers about how solar skylights work, where they can be installed, roof suitability, daytime and night-time lighting options, and warranties.

  • What is a solar skylight?

    A solar skylight uses a roof-mounted solar panel to power an LED ceiling light inside your home. It gives the appearance and brightness of a skylight without requiring a traditional roof opening or shaft.

  • What brand of solar skylights do you install?

    At Bright Light Solar & Ventilation, we use MaxLED Solar Skylights from SolarBright. They are designed for reliable solar-powered lighting, with options for daytime use or day-and-night performance depending on your home’s needs.

  • Do solar skylights need electrical wiring?

    No. MaxLED Solar Skylights are powered by their own solar panel, so standard daytime operation does not require mains electrical wiring.

  • Where can solar skylights be installed?

    Solar skylights are ideal for darker areas of the home such as hallways, bathrooms, wardrobes, laundries, staircases and internal rooms where natural light does not easily reach. They can be installed on most roof types with the right placement.

  • Do solar skylights work on cloudy days?

    Yes, they can still operate in cloudy conditions, although light output depends on available sunlight. The Day & Night model is better suited for low-light periods because it includes battery storage.

  • What is the difference between MaxLED Standard and MaxLED24 Day & Night?

    The Standard model provides solar-powered light during the day. The MaxLED24 Day & Night model includes a battery, movement sensor and remote control for lighting after dark or during low-light conditions.

  • Do solar skylights work on cloudy days?

    Yes, they can still operate in cloudy conditions, although performance depends on the amount of available sunlight. For more reliable lighting after dark or during overcast weather, the MaxLED24 Day & Night model is a better option because it stores energy in its built-in battery.
