TUBULAR SKYLIGHTS: List of manufacturers – turn out the lights and save now

Skylights are likely something you are considering during your remodel.    Skylights enable you to turn on fewer lights during the day, and offer natural lighting (“daylighting”) to your home.  There are a host of solution providers that offer “tubular skylights” or what are now called “daylighting systems” for home remodeling situations where space is an issue, or perhaps there is considerable distance between your roof and the point where you want the light (e.g. a tall attic).  For this situation, a tubular skylight is ideal to “pipe” in natural lighting.

A daylighing system/tubular skylight is composed of three parts: an acrylic rooftop dome and flashing, a reflective light pipe, and an interior diffuser (images below from ODL, Inc.). With most of these products, the reflective tube can bend around obstructions, or connect nonaligned roof and ceiling penetrations. Some products include other features such as compact-fluorescent lights or ventilation fans.
