            Abstract : 
This paper presents a novel reflecting freeform surface component which adopts both artificial light and natural light as input, which component is a part of the NLIS (Natural Light Illumination System). The use of reflective elements significantly reduces the thickness of the structure; avoid high cost and installation restrictions. By this design, the illumination has 80.1% of uniformity and 83.82% of efficiency.
