Solar Powered Skylight

MaxLED solar skylights are a practical choice for Byron Bay homes that need more light without major renovation work. A compact solar panel is installed on the roof and powers an LED diffuser inside the ceiling, creating bright, natural-style light indoors.

  • Warranty Backed

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

  • Suits Almost Any Roof Type

    Because MaxLED does not rely on a traditional skylight shaft, it can suit a wide range of Byron Bay roof styles.

  • Strong Light Output

    Available in 250mm and 400mm options, MaxLED provides up to 1500 or 2000 lumens of bright indoor light.

  • Square or Round Diffusers

    Round and square diffusers are available, allowing you to match the finish to your ceiling and room design.

  • 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

    The MaxLED24 model stores solar energy, giving you lighting during the day, after sunset or during cloudy weather.

  • Remote Control Dimming

    The Day & Night version includes a remote control so you can adjust the light level to suit the room.

MaxLED Solar Skylight Standard

The MaxLED Solar Skylight Standard is ideal for Byron Bay homes that need reliable daytime lighting. It uses a roof-mounted solar panel and an indoor LED diffuser to bring natural-style brightness into darker areas.

It is a great option for hallways, bathrooms, wardrobes, laundries and internal rooms where a traditional skylight may not be suitable.

How It Works

  • The solar panel is installed on the roof.
  • Sunlight is converted into electricity.
  • The LED ceiling diffuser is powered by the solar panel.
  • Bright, natural-style light is spread through the room.

The system is low-maintenance, energy-efficient and does not require a large roof opening.

MaxLED24 Solar Skylight Day & Night

The MaxLED24 Day & Night model is suited to Byron Bay homeowners who want solar-powered light with extra flexibility after dark.

During the day, the solar panel powers the LED light. Extra energy can be stored in the built-in lithium battery, allowing the system to provide light at night, during overcast weather or when the solar panel is not producing enough power.

How It Works

  • A solar panel captures sunlight from the roof.
  • Solar energy powers the indoor LED light.
  • Extra power is stored in the rechargeable battery.
  • The battery can provide light when sunlight is unavailable.
  • A movement sensor helps manage light use.
