This has begun to be used in commercial construction. By commercial I mean office buildings. Humans are more productive in daylight. And, we feel better when we can sense natural sunlight instead of artificial light. So, like was said by another answerer, fiber optics have been used to go from an area of wall or rooftop that gets long durations of sunlight each day and run that light to parts of buildings like interior spaces that may not get very much direct natural light,if any at all. The only drawback, of course, is rainy/overcast days. To get light on those days, you still going to have to resort to a light bulb.

Yes, fiber optics hold the light in the wire, so it should be able to be transported wherever you'd like, though a window would be easier if possible.
