The article exposes innovative materials and structures for improving the energy efficiency of lightning in architecture. The problem of architectural energy efficiency and its part – energy saving illumination of rooms and urban environment is very actual in developing countries. This problem can be successfully solved only by a complex of architectural, constructional, electrical and technological measures which will lead to new forms in architecture and lightning design. This article briefly reviews the benefits of light pipes technologies to enhance natural illumination of deep plan buildings.
