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.
