A device of the skylight type for capturing, transmitting and diffusing natural light into the interior of a room, that comprises a duct configured as an inverted truncated pyramid made of a reflecting material having on its upper end a translucent plane adaptable to the conditions of the existing cover that receives the natural light. Given said duct material and configuration, the light is conducted by the inner walls of said duct to the lower end thereof, where it is joined to a light diffuser plate of a material having total internal reflection, said diffuser plate emerging transversely to the horizontal plane of the ceiling in the room that is going to be lighted. A connecting element provides a finish to the joint between said transmitting duct and said diffuser block. The device provides aesthetic and spatial characteristics that contribute light and ornamentation to the building, while being simple and easy to install.
