So simple but I think its very clever.
I know it wont work at night, but great for what they use it for.
Just skip to the last 20xeconds to see the difference it makes without the explanation.

i'll give you that it is pretty good

 

[robrevens]

That's brilliant! Almost as good as, oh, I don't know, a window?

 

[chiffs]

WOW that is brilliant, so much light produced

 

[Steep]

Natural light too, shame there's no way to store it for later use.

 

[Kerioak]

bet it takes some waterproofing though unless they are in a very dry place

Brilliant. it would have been better if Borat was doing the reporting.

Very interesting.. but the video doesn't say how it works?

 

[dinners]

Love it - So if I cut holes in my roof and plug the gaps with transparent bottles I'll get more light !

Why the water and why the bleach or does the bleach just stop the water going green and yucky after a few days ?

it all seems great... until you want to turn it off

Not very useful if you get up in the middle of the night for a pee....
