SPARK Skylights · ETL certified · stocked in Markham
A window in a room that has no window.
An ultra-thin LED sky panel — about 5 cm deep — that mounts flat on the ceiling you already have. No hole to cut, no joists to open, no drywall to patch: it wires to the existing light box and goes up in twenty minutes. 300 × 600 mm, tunable 2700–6500K with a sunrise-to-sunset programme, remote in the box, ordinary wall switch on the wall.
01 — What it is, and what it isn't
A diffuse sky, honestly described.
There are two kinds of artificial skylight. One is a collimated system that throws hard parallel sunbeams and casts real shadows on the floor — it is 30 to 40 cm deep, needs a structural opening and a ceiling cavity, and costs several thousand dollars per aperture. The other is a sky panel: a deep blue luminous field with daylight colour, built thin.
This is the second kind, and we would rather tell you that on the first screen than have you discover it after delivery. There is no parallel sunbeam and no hard shadow. What there is: a 5 cm body that goes onto a finished ceiling without a contractor, daylight from 2700K to 6500K, a sky that reads as depth from across the room, and a $299 price instead of a $4,000 one.
For the rooms we are aiming at — a basement, an interior office, a windowless bathroom, a hallway — that trade is the right way round. Those ceilings have nowhere to put 40 cm of fixture, and the problem to solve is not shadow direction. It is that the room has no daylight and no sky at all.

02 — The light it makes
2700K at breakfast. 6500K at noon. Warm again by dinner.
The panel tunes across the full daylight range and can run the whole arc on its own, so a room with no window still knows what time it is. Set it and forget it, or take the remote and hold any point on the scale.
Full-day programme
03 — Twenty minutes, one screwdriver
It replaces a ceiling light. That's the whole job.
1 · Breaker off, old light down
Kill the circuit, take down the existing fixture and leave the box and its two leads exposed. Nothing else about the ceiling changes — no cut-out, no patching, no dust sheet across the room.
2 · Plate on, wires joined
The mounting plate screws to the existing box, and the panel's leads join the fixture leads with the connectors supplied — line, neutral, ground. Same connection you would make for any ceiling light.
3 · Panel up, breaker on
The panel locks onto the plate, sitting about 5 cm off the ceiling. Power back on and it runs from the wall switch straight away; the remote sets colour temperature, brightness and the day programme.
If the room has no ceiling fixture, or you want the panel where the box isn't, an electrician needs to run a feed to that point first — that part is not a DIY job. Ontario electrical work on new circuits must be done by a licensed electrician.
04 — Where it earns its keep
The smaller and more sealed the room, the bigger the difference.
Commercial offices
Interior offices and meeting rooms with no exterior wall. One panel per small office, a grid over open plan — daylight colour on a floor plate that never sees any.
Warehouses & shops
Pick faces, benches and packing stations under a deck with no roof glazing. 6500K all shift, and volume pricing when the count runs into dozens.
Finished basements
The room this product was made for. Low ceilings can't take a deep fixture, and the 5 cm body plus the existing pot-light box is the whole install.
Sealed interior rooms
Home gyms, studios, storage rooms and any space with four solid walls — a sky overhead is what stops the room reading as a box.
Kitchens
Galley kitchens and interior islands. Two or three panels in a row give a bright working surface without a bank of downlights in your eyes.
Hallways
A run of panels down a corridor reads as a line of roof lights. The most convincing use of the effect, and the cheapest way to change a dark hall.
Entryways
A foyer with no glazing gets sky at the door — the first and last thing anyone sees, on the same box the old flush mount used.
Bathrooms
Windowless bathrooms and powder rooms — the single most dramatic before-and-after, and warm 2700K at night instead of a glaring white lens.
05 — Installed, switched on, photographed
Every one of these rooms has no window at all.
Windowless bathroom
An interior bathroom with no glazing and a tiled ceiling. One panel, on the existing fixture position — daylight down the wall instead of a flat white lens overhead.
Entry, two panels tiled
Two panels side by side make one larger opening. Cool sky overhead against the warm cove light — the contrast is what sells the effect to anyone walking in.
Up close, off axis
From underneath and to one side: deep blue across the field, bright at the frame. Photographs still undersell it — the depth is what changes when you stand under one.
06 — One panel, or a run of them
Panels tile, so the sky grows with the room.
One 300 × 600 mm panel suits a bathroom, an entry or a small office. Two side by side make a 600 × 600 mm square over a kitchen island; three or four in a line read as a run of roof lights down a hallway or an open-plan bay.
Each panel needs a feed at its own position, so decide the layout before an electrician sets the boxes. Send us the room dimensions and ceiling type and we will mark the positions and the panel count — no charge, whether you buy one or forty.

08 — Straight answers
Everything people ask before buying one.
What is an LED skylight panel?
A ceiling light whose face renders a deep blue sky instead of a flat white lens. Layered optics give the blue field apparent depth, so it reads as an opening overhead rather than a fixture — while still putting out enough light to work under.
Does it need a hole cut in the ceiling?
No. It is about 5 cm deep and mounts flat on the ceiling surface on the existing fixture box — no cut-out, no joist work, no plenum depth, no drywall repair. It comes down again leaving only the original box.
Does it cast parallel sunbeams?
No. Collimated "artificial sun" systems that throw hard shadows are 30–40 cm deep, need a structural opening and cost thousands per aperture. This is a diffuse sky panel: the sky, the depth and the daylight colour, in a body thin enough to hang on a finished ceiling.
Can I install it myself?
Yes, if you can change a ceiling light — breaker off, plate onto the box, two leads joined, panel clicks on, about twenty minutes. If there is no fixture where you want it, an electrician has to run a feed first.
Do I need an app?
No — deliberately. It runs from the wall switch you already have, with a remote in the box for colour temperature, brightness and the day programme. Nothing to set up, no account, nothing that stops working when an app is discontinued.
How bright, and what colour?
Dimmable across 2700–6500K: warm amber, neutral, or cool 6500K daylight. Left alone it walks the sunrise-to-sunset arc through the day, which is what makes a sealed room feel like it is keeping time.
Can I combine several?
Yes. Two make a 600 × 600 mm square, three a 900 × 600 mm band, four a 1200 × 600 mm run. Each needs a feed at its position, so plan the layout first — send us the room and we will mark it.
Is it certified for Canada?
ETL certified, with a 2-year warranty. Stocked in Markham and shipped across Toronto and the GTA; larger commercial orders have a lead time set by quantity.
Can I see one before buying?
Yes — a panel is running at our Markham warehouse. Photographs never do the depth justice; thirty seconds standing under one settles it either way. Book a look →
Do you do volume pricing?
Yes, for offices, warehouses, retail fit-outs, builders and multi-unit residential. Send the panel count and the drawing if you have one. Commercial enquiries →
Who is SPARK?
An audio-visual and LED production company in the GTA since 2006 — we have built LED screens for over 2,000 events and install permanent fine-pitch walls. Skylights come from the same warehouse and the same crew. About us →
What if it fails?
Two-year warranty, handled locally — no shipping a fixture overseas and waiting. We hold stock in Markham, so a warranty panel is a drive, not a claim process.
