Bring brilliant, natural light into your home without the expense, heat, leaks, or maintenance of traditional skylights. Solatube® Daylighting Systems use advanced technology and ultra-reflective tubing to transform virtually any dark room into a sun-drenched space. Whether it’s a bathroom, hallway, kitchen, or family room, Solatube delivers the sunshine you love in spaces where traditional skylights simply won’t work.
Light from the sun travels more than 90 million miles through space, and in just the last few feet, it gets captured, redirected, and brought into your home. Watch the video to see how it works and why so many Florida homeowners are choosing to light their homes with the sun.
At the top of your roof, a high-performance dome captures sunlight from all 360 degrees- not just straight overhead like traditional skylights. This smart design means your Solatube tubular skylight collects light earlier in the morning, and later into the evening, keeping your home brighter, longer.
Inside the dome, patented Raybender 3000 technology and the LightTracker Reflector work together to redirect and boost even low-angle sunlight. This system both filters out harsh midday glare, and increases the usable daylight that reaches your living space.
Once captured and redirected, sunlight moves through the Spectralight Infinity Tubing, which has a reflectivity rating of 99.7 percent. This mirror-like tube carries sunlight around attic obstacles with very little light loss.
At the ceiling, light passes through a stylish fixture that diffuses it evenly into your space. The result is a bright, comfortable room filled with vibrant, natural light.
The ISn model includes a built-in Solar-Powered NightLight that charges during the day and automatically emits a soft glow at night. Perfect for late-night trips to the bathroom, hallways, or anywhere you don’t want to fumble for a light switch.
With Solatube’s tubular skylight, you can shape how natural light enters your space, and how it feels once it’s there. From the fixture on your ceiling to the quality and tone of the light itself, each part of the system can be adjusted to match your style, layout, and daily needs. Whether you want a soft glow in the bathroom or bright daylight in the kitchen, Solatube gives you the tools to create a space that feels just right.
Solatube’s Decorative Fixtures are mounted flush to the ceiling and deliver soft, evenly diffused natural light that feels as good as it looks. Designed to complement your home’s style, each fixture spreads daylight throughout the space while adding a touch of elegance or simplicity, depending on the model you choose. With both round and square options in a variety of finishes and profiles, you can select the look that fits your room just as perfectly as the light.

Effect Lenses let you adjust the tone and intensity of the daylight coming through your Solatube system. Whether you prefer warmer light for a cozier atmosphere, or softer light to reduce glare, these simple snap-in lenses give you more control over how your space looks and feels. Choose from four options to create the lighting experience that fits your room, your routine, and your style.
Delivers clean, bright daylight with no color adjustment. This is the default lens that provides the most accurate and vibrant representation of sunlight, ideal for kitchens, workspaces, and areas where clarity and color accuracy matter most.
Reduces glare and gently diffuses the intensity of direct sunlight. This lens creates a soft, glowing effect that is especially helpful in very bright spaces or homes in sunny climates. A great choice for bathrooms, hallways, and sitting areas.
Tints the daylight with a subtle amber tone while also softening brightness. This creates a gentle, calming light that works well in bedrooms, relaxation spaces, or anywhere you want both warmth and reduced intensity.
Alters the daylight color to a warmer, golden hue while keeping the full brightness of the sun. This lens is ideal for areas like kitchens or family rooms where a cozy feel is preferred without dimming the space.
Provides functional light after dark using energy-efficient LED or compact fluorescent options. Ideal for bedrooms, closets, hallways, and bathrooms.
Adjust the amount of natural light entering your room with a wall-mounted switch. Ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, or media areas where light control matters.
Combines daylight and ventilation in one ceiling fixture. Helps reduce humidity and improve air circulation in bathrooms, laundry rooms, and other high-moisture spaces.
High Velocity Wind Zone areas such as South Florida require the Solatube® Shock Inner Dome. This highly impact-resistant inner dome can also be added to any installation for extra protection from extreme forces.
Solatube offers flashings that are compatible with virtually every roof type and pitch, including shingle, tile, metal, and flat roofs. Whether your home has a steep slope or a flat profile, the system is designed to work with your existing roof while preserving its integrity and appearance. Solatube flashings are crafted from a single piece of seamless metal, which eliminates weak points where water can enter. This leak-resistant design helps protect your roof and home from weather-related damage, season after season.
A traditional flat skylight can only capture light from directly overhead, but the Solatube dome can capture daylight from all angles, sunrise to sunset, including morning and evening light, for longer, more consistent light throughout the day. Even on cloudy days, Solatube’s ultra-reflective tubing amplifies all available light and brings it deep into your home, without added heat or UV damage.
But that’s not all- learn more about how a tubular skylight is the modern skylight alterative:
Solatube Daylighting Systems transform how your home feels. With clean, natural light filling your space, everything looks more vibrant, more open, and more spacious.
Unlike traditional skylights, Solatube captures sunlight from the rooftop and delivers it deep into your home through a highly reflective tube. The result is beautiful daylight in places where you never thought natural light could reach- like hallways, bathrooms, closets, and kitchens.
Whether you’re updating a single room or your whole home, you’ll notice the difference right away. No flickering. No yellow glow. Just pure sunlight, brought indoors in a way that’s energy-efficient, low maintenance, and quick to install.
Brighten your home. Lift your mood. Light your life with Solatube.
