We offer a wide range of Solatube products to fit your unique needs, including different tube lengths and sizes, as well as options for ventilation and dimming. Solatube systems are designed to capture natural sunlight from the rooftop and transport it through a highly reflective tube into your living or workspace. Their patented technology ensures minimal heat gain or loss, so you can enjoy natural light without worrying about temperature fluctuations.
How Does Solatube work?
Looking for an eco-friendly way to light up your home or office space? Look no further than Solatube daylighting systems! But how exactly do they work? Let's take a closer look.
Solatube's patented technology captures natural sunlight from the rooftop and transports it through a highly reflective tube into your living or workspace. The tube is designed to reduce any potential heat gain or loss, so you can enjoy the benefits of natural light without worrying about temperature fluctuations.
At the bottom of the tube, a diffuser spreads the light evenly throughout the room, providing up to 10 times more natural light than traditional windows. Plus, with the option to add a dimmer or light kit, you can easily adjust the light levels to fit your needs.
Functional and Energy Efficient
Solatube daylighting systems are not only energy-efficient but also environmentally friendly, reducing the need for artificial lighting and its associated carbon footprint. Plus, with a variety of designs and options to choose from, including different tube lengths and sizes, you can customize your Solatube system to fit your unique space and style.
If you're looking to brighten up your home or office with natural light while reducing your carbon footprint and energy costs, Solatube daylighting is the perfect fit for your home.
Many applications, many Solatube systems
It is crucial to select the correct Solatube for your particular application and Solatube Daylighting Systems are the only high-performance daylighting devices that utilize patented optical technologies which significantly improve the way daylight is captured and delivered to interiors.

A cut above traditional skylights
Solatube Daylighting Systems are easily incorporated into ceiling structures and designs and unlike traditional skylights; they are able to help solve some of the problematic aspects of sunlight by reducing glare and smoothing out inconsistent light patterns.
They also filter out infrared rays that tend to overheat interiors as well as ultraviolet rays which fade furniture and fabrics.
Advanced technology that saves energy consumption
Solatube Daylighting Systems also provide an integrated design option where maximum energy is required in an efficient method by using a hybrid option that combines advanced Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) with proven daylighting technology.
The Solatube Smart LED System automatically blends ultra-energy efficient LED light with free natural light to provide illumination throughout the day and night, at the same time, significantly reducing energy consumption.
