Bob's FYI Corner
Recently, I was asked this question by a customer. "How do I get more natural light in my kitchen"?
There could be a cure for that dark spot in your home. The addition of a solar tube can bring light to a kitchen, hall, or any room in the house. A dark garage is an excellent candidate for a solar tube.
These tubes are lower-cost alternatives to skylights, they do not increase heat in your home and most do-it-yourselfers can install one. Those not willing to tackle the job will find professional installation is not costly.
Tubes come in 13 to 22 inch diameters and have a super -reflective interior. The exterior dome extends through the roof, and a light diffuser on the bottom mounts to the ceiling. The diffuser looks just like a light fixture.
Light bounces back and forth on the reflective interior on its way to the diffuser. On a sunny day, this free lighting is equivalent to several 100 watt light bulbs.
