Skylight Innovation Rescues 6 Sunless Spaces

Whereas a conventional skylight can only illuminate space directly beneath the roof, the Solatube Daylighting System operates in a different, more ingenious way. After capturing rays on the roof, the device channels light down through a compact, highly reflective tube. That enables Solatube systems to deliver daylight to any room in the heart of the home, even up to a distance of 40 feet from the roof. In the kitchen and den shown here, multiple Solatube systems flood the rooms with natural light.
