Solar Tube Skylights - Sunshine for Small Spaces

!±8± Solar Tube Skylights - Sunshine for Small Spaces

Solar tube skylights, also known as light pipes and tubular skylights channel the light from a small skylight, down through a high reflectance duct, to a ceiling mounted diffusing lens.

Solar tube skylights are advantageous in deep roof construction or when the area to be lighted is too small for a standard sized skylight.

Typical installations include bathrooms and closets, but multiple tubes can be installed in larger rooms for a dramatic effect.

The diffusing lens resembles a typical ceiling mounted glass fixture. Most diffusers are round, but a transition box can used to convert the round tubing to a square diffuser for suspended ceilings.

Solar Skylight Cost
Factors that determine the cost of a solar tube installation are the length and diameter of the tube, whether you install it yourself or hire a professional, and the composition of your roof. If your roof is tile or metal expect to pay 15 - 20% more for installation.

You can purchase a complete 14" diameter solar tube DIY kit for around 0. Professional installation will run you half again as much, or 0. If you're purchasing multiple units don't forget to ask for a discount.

Are Solar Tube Skylights a DIY Project?
The installation seems to be relatively straight forward; cut a hole in the roof for the skylight, another in the ceiling of the room below for the diffuser, and connect the two with the reflective duct. But this is not a project for novices; especially if your home has a metal or tiled roof.

Will A Solar Skylight Reduce My Electric Bill?
Yes, but the savings will be minimal. However, installing a solar tube in a highly trafficked room like the bathroom will save you more money than one installed in a closet.

Will The Federal Government Help Me Pay For My Solar Tube Skylight?
You have until December 31, 2010 to collect a 30% tax credit, excluding labor, up to ,500 for eligible skylights. Also, check with your State Department of Energy for additional rebates or sales tax credits.

Tubular skylights are highly innovative and energy efficient lighting systems. The capped cylindrical dome allows natural sunlight to enter a room through its highly reflective light pipe. The mirror-like light pipe allows the light to scatter 100% evenly. A tubular skylight minimizes space and in the end impact on your roof. It's engineered to be weather-tight and leak-proof. Why tubular instead of traditional skylights?The highly reflective mirror-like light pipe allows the tubular skylight to emit more light than traditional skylights. Tubular skylights are far more energy efficient than traditional skylights. Tubular skylights are designed with a sealed shaft that minimizes the transfer of heat or cold into your home. This is a great feature as traditional skylights usually generate heat. Tubular Skylights scatter 100% of the natural light spectrum through the use of a diffuser, thereby eliminating the spot light issue commonly found with the traditional system. 99% of the sun's harmful UV rays are absorbed by tubular light's specially designed dome, thus eliminating bleaching or discoloring effects on carpets or furniture. Installation is quick and easy, as tubular skylights can be installed in two hours or less. These lights require very little space for installation, they can be installed virtually anywhere! Best of all they are less expensive than traditional skylights.Why Natural Light Tubular Skylights? Natural Light uses the highest quality materials in the manufacturing process. The entire unit was designed around performance, ease of installation and being able to withstand the weathering effects of any environment. The warranty is the best in the industry, 25 years.
