Butler Manufacturing teamed with Sunoptics to deliver the SunLite Strip daylighting system, a patented, self-curbing system developed for applications to the Butler MR-24 standing seam metal roof system. The 24-inch-wide system fits on top of the seams of the MR-24 panels, using the seams for structural support to remove it from water flow. The dome construction with prismatic embossing captures more light at low sun angles than other lenses. Thousands of mirror-like elements along a SunLite Strip lens magnify the effect of light transmission into a building and maintain 100 percent diffusion, eliminating hot spots, glare and ultraviolet damage. The SunLite Strip frame has a self-curbing design that avoids the risk of leaks around flashings of conventional skylights.
