Solatube skylights are a form of tubular skylight that use a specially designed dome reflector, to absorb and channel outdoor light to rooms without any form of natural lighting. Solatube skylights are possibly the most trusted brand name in the tubular skylight business, offering innovative ways to collect and bend light. The main advantage of Solatube skylights is their ability to capture natural light when the sun is blocked, and on cloudy, grey days. This provides not only maximum lighting at all times of the day, but longer performance even after dusk. Other attractive features of the Solatube skylight include a double glazed diffuser to minimize heat absorption during summer and maximize heat absorption during winter, a uniquely developed sealing system that prevents the build up of moisture, and many other things.
