Natural light throughout the night

Yes, how do you think we see the moon?

I want to have a more powerful sunlight. Would it look like daytime light or no?

Sure, but why not just go straight to the source? Build some mirrors going from your house to the sun itself.

What about satellites? I also would want to do this as cheap as possible

>>8343939
By that I mean would satellites get in the way of the tube?

Why not build a mirrored chamber to fill with sunlight during the day and then let it out at night? The sunbeams would bounce back and forth inside until you needed them.

Nigga you would melt the mirrors

What about liquid nitrogen cooled mirrors?

Quality thread.

I would either work with heat lamps or regular lights and try to figure something out

if you fail to come up with anything consider asking /diy/ for suggestions

I'm assuming you want to actually light up your house at night and not just talk about having a satellite point a mirror at your house for sunlight all night. That would just be crazy and impractical.

The sun emits a continuous spectrum of radiation so I don't think regular lights would do the job, although I should note that OP would not be able to tell any difference with his eyes alone so this is purely for the fun of it.

OP the Sun's surface temp is around 6000 K so if you get something that hot it will produce sunlight. If you want even more accuracy, the sun's atmosphere is 75% Hydrogen and 25% helium and small traces of the other elements. So you could fill a room with these proportions of gases in order to get the same absorption lines. Finally, to get that beautiful blue Reyleigh scattering, you can fill another room in front of that with air at high pressure to simulate the full atmosphere of earth and some mirrors to get some of the cross-scatter too.

mirrors don't reflect 100% of light.
light is very fast and will bounce off of the mirrors a lot.
the mirrors would absorb all of the light (as heat) very quickly.
