Solar Tube Sky Lights

A great way to reduce your electric costs is to use solar tubes in your home.  Solar tubes can be added to your home or placed in new construction.  A solar tube is different than a traditional skylight.  A solar tube is designed to collect light and reflect it into the room of your choice.  A solar tube does not need to be installed in a straight path to create light.  The tube can be angled to reach the room that you want to illuminate.

The light refracted in the tube can also be difused to create different lighting effects in your home.  So straight sunlight is not the only option.  You can work with your supplier to add different lens to create a warm or cool color effect in your home.  You can also use different lens to dim the light coming into the room.

The sun can now light your home without using electricity and still give you several options for lighting.
