This experimental demonstration has successfully shown that it is possible to use direct sunlight for the illumination of deeper building zones using the material for light path system(light duct). Three kinds of reflectors which were 95% Silver vaporizing fixed, 85% Anodized and 85% Hot melted applied to evaluate and compare their performances each others. Also, these three kind of reflectors were compared in view point of economics. The most high performance was obtained in 95% Silver vaporizing fixed reflector hater than another reflectors of 85% Anodized reflector and 85% Hot melted reflector even though more high production cost in 95% Silver vaporizing fixed reflector. The rest two reflectors of 85% Anodized and 85% Hot melted $10{sim}15%$ less performance than 95% Silver vaporizing fixed reflector but their production cost were low than the production cost of 95% Silver vaporizing fixed reflector which identified very weak and light yellow color in the light.
