Sky Tunnels for a roof light for dim rooms
Posted by admin on Nov 22, 2008
Having searched most of the internet looking for more info on Sky tubes I have noticed Sky tubes can cost anything from £2xx to over £500+ then the cost of fitting too.
I then started asking people have they heard of a Sky tube/ Sun tunnel / Solar Light most have sort of said “yeah I know what you mean”. But when I then asked “do you know anyone who has had one installed?” everyone said “NO!”.
So i am wonder why not and roughly how many people do own one or have had them fitted. Supermarkets and offices have started using natural lighting using reflective mirrors to bounce the light from the roof around the building down to the ground floor.
The ideal room usually for a home to use a Sky Tube/ Sun Tunnel / Light pipe is a dark or dim hall way or an en-suite off a main bedroom with no windows.
The way energy prices are going it won’t be long until people do realise that free lighting will be worth a lot more in years to come.
