Any time that you can avoid using electric lights, you lower your utility bills and eliminate the expense of bulbs. After researching skylight tubes over the past year and evaluating the performance claims by the many manufacturers, I finally installed a medium-size kit in my own home as the ultimate test. It is actually in my large garage where I spend time restoring cars. The amount of light from the skylight tube kit is truly impressive. These new skylight tubes transmit light so efficiently, that on a clear moonlit night, it glows indoors.
Natural light makes most things look better indoors.
In the kitchen, foods look more appetizing than under bulbs. The acrylic rooftop dome and diffuser block nearly all of the furniture fading ultraviolet rays. A bathroom or dressing area is another excellent location for a skylight tube kit. Some models now have optional ceiling vent kits to light and vent the bathroom with one unit. The trim ring around the decorative ceiling light diffuser is also an air inlet vent which is attached to a flexible duct.
