Why don't we use mirrors to bring light into buildings more?

Clouds make it annoying and inconsistent. Also people need light at night regardless, so lights are always needed.

Did you hear about that curved building in London that reflected light so well you could cook an egg in the street a block away? I think you could make an argument for white surfaces to reflect light into buildings but full blown mirrors are probably a fire hazard.

Guys, i think they mean interior decoration. I did this with a strategic mirror in the dark corridor. But the house entrance was also there, and in a long stretch between sleeping and living room with a window on either side.

Money. Solar tubes are not cheap to buy or install. The longer they have to go, the more expensive they become.

Too much potential for bad luck in multiples of 7 years. Also, some buildings skip the 13th floor. Just saying…
