Natural light is very important and direct role in the process of human life. Since the creation of caves used for living, natural light has played an important role in informing the time and changing the time between day and night. It is also of great importance in the creation and use of living spaces. This paper will analyze the application and forms of providing natural light in underground houses as a new form of housing. Underground houses, are considered as ecological building, which contribute to the protection of the environment. The application and provision of natural light is quite limited based on the construction site, the typology of the underground house and the orientation as well as the geographical terrain of the construction space. The development of technology of light refraction and creation of openings helps in the application of openings and enables to illuminate the living spaces in a natural way.
