Solar Tubular Lights FAQs

Solar tubular lights offer several advantages over traditional skylights in many ways. Consider these:

• Less Invasive - Conventional skylights require large openings and structural modifications. Solar tubular lights use a compact, low-profile design that can be installed on any roof surface in just a couple of hours.
• Enhanced Lighting - The highly reflective tube system delivers the same amount of lighting as a skylight many times its size.
• No Heat Loss or Heat Gain - Traditional skylights can make your house feel too hot or let heat escape on colder nights. Tubular solar lights don't have this issue, making them significantly more energy efficient.
• Light Versatility - Solar tubular lights can illuminate lower floors and interior spaces that skylights simply cannot reach.

Solar-powered tube lights look and act more like ceiling lights and less like windows. They operate entirely on natural sunlight without relying on electricity during daylight hours, providing substantial savings on energy bills while reducing your carbon footprint. The precision-engineered design prevents heat transfer, unlike traditional skylights, which can increase cooling and heating costs. Plus, there's no ongoing cost for bulb replacement or repairs.

Tubular solar lights have built-in UV protection to prevent the fading of furniture, clothing, and rugs. They are a safe investment that will protect your other investments.

Yes, they capture and transmit available natural light efficiently, even during overcast conditions and cooler months. The highly reflective tube system maximizes light transmission to remain well-lit throughout varying weather conditions. Optional electrical light kits can supplement natural illumination, providing consistent lighting when needed if you're concerned about overly cloudy days. The dimmer accessories also allow you to control light levels for optimal comfort year-round.

We're happy to provide a free consultation and estimate for solar tubular lighting in your home. It's a quick installation process, and the energy savings mean these lights pay for themselves over time, but the initial cost varies depending on:

• Tube length and angle adjustments
• The number of tube lights
• Additional accessories or add-on products
• Your roof type
