Powered by advanced optics and a reengineered daylight delivery system, Solatube® transforms dark spaces with vibrant, beautiful natural light in 2 hours.
Light Years Ahead of Traditional Skylights
Solatube® tubular skylights are engineered for exceptional daylighting performance. Featuring RayBender® 3000 Dome and Spectralight® Infinity tubing with up to 99.7% reflectivity, they deliver abundant natural light with exceptional clarity and brightness. Unlike traditional skylights, Solatube systems are designed to capture sunlight efficiently, even in low-light conditions, and redirect it deep into your home or workspace while minimizing heat or cold transfer.

Frequently Asked Questions About Solatube Daylighting Technology
What is a Solatube Daylighting System?
A Solatube Daylighting System is a high-tech modern skylight, that installs in about 2 hours with no faming, painting, or mess. Just beautiful natural light filling your space without the heat and leaks of a traditional skylight.
What is a Solartube?
Some people call Solatube, Solartubes. For some reason people love to add the “r” to Solatube. Solatubes and Solartubes and one in the same. Our offical name is Solatube Daylighting Systems.
What are other names people call Solatube Daylighting Systems?
Some people call us Solatube Tubular Skylights. Some people call us a modern high-tech skylight.
What makes a Solatube different from a traditional skylight?
Unlike traditional skylights that simply leave a hole in your roof, Solatube Daylighting Systems utilize advanced optical technology to actively capture sunlight, transfer it through highly reflective tubing, and evenly disperse it throughout your room. This design maximizes light output while minimizing the heat and cold transfer associated with standard skylights.
How does the Solatube dome capture so much natural light?
Our rooftop domes feature patented Raybender® 3000 Technology and an innovative LightTracker™ Reflector. Together, these technologies pull in low-angle sunlight during the morning and winter months to maximize brightness, while specifically rejecting overpowering, hot midday summer sunlight for a consistent, comfortable glow all day long.
How far can a Solatube transfer sunlight into my home?
Because we use Spectralight® Infinity Tubing—made of the world's most reflective material—Solatube systems can transfer sunlight incredibly far. With up to 99.7% specular reflectivity, our tubing can deliver pure, bright natural light through run lengths of over 30 feet, making it entirely possible to bring sunlight down to lower floors or basements.
Does a Solatube provide light after the sun goes down?
Yes! Our systems feature an Integrated Solar Electric Module. A built-in photovoltaic panel collects and stores solar energy during the day to power a smart NightLight that automatically turns on after dark, giving you a soft, ambient glow at night without using any electricity.
Can I customize how the sunlight looks in my room?
Absolutely. We offer a variety of stylish decorative fixtures and effect lenses that allow you to warm or soften the daylight to your preference. You can also add integrated dimmers and ventilation options for ultimate control over your interior environment.
