Tubular Skylight, Natural Solar Lighting

Tubular Skylight™ is one of a new generation of technologically advanced products that are improving the quality of our lives while reducing our cost of living.

Technology need not be complicated. Major breakthroughs are often the result of getting back to basics and using the best materials to perform the simplest task. Tubular Skylight™ performs a very important task in the simplest way possible.

Manufactured in Southwest Florida, Tubular Skylight™ brings daylight from the rooftop into your home, school, office or factory.

The Florida Energy Conservation Office reports that Tubular Skylight™ increased light levels to the equivalent 1800 watts of light and produced 68% less heat. Tubular Skylight™ is the only product of its kind used by NASA - Kennedy Space Center.

It is inexpensive, easy to install, requires no maintenance, generates no heat, and there is no electric bill. Rooms that are naturally lit feel warmer and are more comfortable on the eyes. Sunlight is the ergonomic (the science of comfort) solution to your lighting needs.

How Does It Work?

It is simplicity redefined. A small clear dome on the roof allows sunlight to enter a highly reflective tube that guides sunshine to your ceiling. A translucent diffuser lens gently disperses natural light throughout your room.

Only a Tubular Skylight™ produces clean light that has a 98.7 Color Rendering Index. That means there are virtually no color distortions. For this reason, light produced by Tubular Skylight™ is more appealing than the 'blue" light produced by competitor's products or the "yellow" light produced by artificial lights.

The Best Light Source For Your Home

Proven by tests to bring in 98.7% full spectrum natural sunlight, Tubular Skylight™ will enhance the true colors and beauty of your home. As the light illuminates the room, it looks and feels more spacious helping to fight claustrophobia and winter blues.

The full spectrum light flooding your home also promotes a healthy environment by improving air quality through the reduction of mold and mildew. While blocking out heat, glaring harsh light and harmful UV rays, the light will not fade your carpets, drapes or furniture.

Save Energy and Money - No Heat Gain or Loss!

Tubular Skylight, Inc. is the only manufacturer with tested and proven R-22 or greater insulation factor, which means no heat or cold will come down the tube into your home and no air conditioning or heat will escape. This makes our units the most energy efficient skylights on the market, saving mother natures resources and your precious dollars!

Award Winning Design

Award winning design provides ultimate flexibility for any home. A straight tube installation maximizes light levels. If required an adjustable four section elbow lets you get the exact angle necessary for installation anywhere in your home.

The ceiling lens looks like a traditional frosted light fixture. It goes with any decor. Various shapes, styles and hand leaded designs are available.

Low Roof Mount

Standard Roof Mount

Available in Standard and Low Roof Mount. Both roof mounts adjust to the roof pitch (elbows are not required) and create an interior reflector system allowing maximum light input, even on a north facing roof. The dual sealed and ridged gutter flashings ensure no leakage problems.
