Solatube Technology
Solatube captures light through a dome on the roof and channels it down through our patented internal reflective system. This tubing is far more efficient than a traditional drywall skylight shaft, which can lose over half of the potential light. The tubing will fit between rafters and will install easily with no structural modification. At the ceiling level, a diffuser that resembles a recessed light fixture spreads the light evenly throughout the room. |

With Solatubes operating during daylight hours, electric lights are off which means no energy consumption. Solatubes have insignificant heat gain, so air conditioning or heating are not affected. In fact the electric lights a Solatube displaces add more heat to a room than a Solatube. Alternatively, more heat would be lost through a small closed window. |
