Solar Tube Lighting


Solar tube lighting can be a great money saver, bringing natural lighting into your home or business. Installed lights range from approximately $350 to $600, but will pay for themselves over time as you save on electricity and standard light bulb costs. High grade aluminum seamless construction provides a highly reflective light pipe, which can be up to 18-20 feet long.


The diameter of the tube determines the coverage area - a 10 inch solar light will cover up to 150 sq feet, and provide the equivalent of up to 300 watts. Upgrade to a 13 inch tube, and the coverage doubles to 300 sq feet, with the comparison kicking up to 500 watts. A 21 inch light covers 700 sq feet and delivers up to impressive 1450 watts.

By providing natural sunlight, solar tube lights can improve your health and mindset as well as having zero impact on the environment. Studies even have shown that children test between 15-26% higher when they study in classrooms equipped with ‘daylighting’. Solar light is the natural alternative to standard lighting methods.
