The finished product is awesome! The white light fills the kitchen, much better than the yellowish light that was coming from the old Solar Tube. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Solartube Home if you need these types of services!

I was suprised!
Today we had a Solatube in our dark bathroom...I was shocked how beautiful it was with the solatube light now. The lighting is so calming and just so BEAUTIFUL. I would highly recommend Solatube.

I highly recommend the product.
Having a Solatube has been one of my best renovation decisions. A dark dining area has been transformed into a cozy cheerful space, bathed in natural light.

No more turning the lights off!
I just had a Solatube in my hall bath, and I am in love!! I have one in my master bath and 2 in my living room, so I knew I wanted one when I decided to renovate. The difference is amazing!

Great product and great company.
I have two large Solatubes (w/original glass diffusers). After taking them down to get the bugs out, it was a struggle (to put it mildly) to get the diffuser back up. The design (and/or install) is flawed - there are tabs that hold the actual tube in place that interfere with the gasket for the plastic protector.

Turn your old house nice again!
We live in a 55 year old house with very little natural light. You can't even see down some of the hallways in the middle of the day. We ended up getting 5 Solatubes! Our house is now filled with beautiful, natural light.

Rain or shine it works!
I recently got a Solatube to light up my window-less en-suite, the result is transformational even in late October here in the UK. Very happy with the result and would not hesitate to recommend this company or it's products.

This is totally worth doing.
If I had known how awesome these things were I would have doubled my order-- and then the next day, I DID! Unbelievable, beautiful, amazing. My home is now literally lit from Heaven! And for free! Life is too short not to have fun.

Best investment I did.
The decision to invest in a Solatube light was immediately appreciated. The added natural light in our kitchen was much needed and made a huge difference.
-
I was happy to pay this for what I got.
My staircase has been transformed. The amount of light is unbelievable. The only downside is that it was quite expensive and I suspect many would say it is an unnecessary luxury.

Saves me a lot of money.
Had two Solatubes about a week ago. One in a windowless bathroom and one at the end of the living room. The difference in the bathroom is enormous and I no longer need to put the light on during the day. The living room is also an improvement.

The amount of daylight is amazing
We now have four Solatubes in different parts of the house. The new solar powered night lights that fit into the tubes are fabulous they shine a light so you can see if you get up in the night without putting lights on. I would recommend Solatube to anyone that is needing daylight in their homes.

One of my best purchases.
We love our sky tubes. They brighten our previous darken rooms and hall. No lights needed during the day.

The entire building is naturally lit.
What a neat concept this Solatube product is, bringing natural sunlight into the home without fading your clothes, towels and bringing heat in. I've been wanting a traditional skylight in my kitchen for some time now and I was at a friends house a few weeks back who just had 1 put in her bathroom, wow what a difference it makes! I had to get more information about this so I went up to their office in Vista which is absolutely beautiful.
