A new small skylight which can be installed in buildings in general, on the roof of rooms requiring natural lighting. The advantage of this skylight over previous ones lies in its small size, thus avoiding having to make a wide roof opening for installation, with the consequent risks and dangers involved. An external reflecting flat sheet rotating with respect to a transverse axis placed on the top base of a vertical light conduit tube. The tube intercalated by a jacket tube, goes through the roof. The external reflecting sheet sends the collected light beams to a mirror, which is tilted on the vertical tube, the interior surface of the tube being capable of receiving and sending towards the interior of the room he reflected light beams received from said mirror. Another embodiment allows the user to regulate the external reflector operative tilting, as well as to rotate respect to a vertical axis to achieve for the best orientation relative to the sun.
