ParticipantWe have one.
the pros:
– once it’s installed it’s free light during daylight hours… It’s surprisingly bright.
– at first glance they look like recessed lights.the cons: – if you want to sleep in, it’s hard to turn them off… they have models that can be closed – but that involves getting out of bed. Realistically, not a good idea to put one in a bedroom if you like to sleep in and need darkness to do so.
Ours is in our master bath area – it’s nice having bright natural light to show me all my wrinkles in the morning. 😉
Solatube is who installed ours. They’re a local company (vista). And the tubes themselves are manufactured in San Diego if I remember correctly.

ParticipantThanks for the input. I do not know the meaning of the word ‘sleep in’ due to having a young son who likes to come into my bedroom.
🙂Seriously, I would get the one with the dimmer switch. Have you had any problems with leaks??

My husband climbed up on the roof after the installer left and was pleased with the installation.
Ours was a pretty easy install – upstairs so the tube just had to go through the attic crawl space.
