Solar tubes go by many names.
They’re also called: sun tunnels, sun tubes, tubular skylights, light pipes, light tubes, or daylight pipes.
Whatever you call it – solar tube lighting is where the sun is the only light source.
A metallic tube runs from your home’s roof through the ceiling to channel natural light into a dark or windowless room. An acrylic cap is fitted on the roof end of the tube to ensure water resistance. Then there’s a diffuser fitted into a round window-like opening on the ceiling side of the tube. The diffuser amplifies and spreads incoming light so that the whole room receives a soft but bright glow.
