How It Works

how tubular skylights work icon step 1

1

Sunlight Enters the Tubular Skylight Dome on the Roof

The low profile, durable acrylic, impact resistant dome captures sunlight on your roof from sunup to sundown. The flashing housing ensures that the unit is weathertight and leakproof.

2

Sunlight is Reflected Through the Light Pipe

Sunlight captured by the dome bounces through a patented 98% reflective, mirror-like tube. The light pipe reflects sunlight into your home, even in early morning or late afternoon.

Ceiling Fixture Softly Diffuses Sunlight into your Home

The slightly arced prismatic surface of the light fixture evenly disperses sunlight into your home – no hot spots. Harmful UV rays are filtered out and fading on furniture and carpets eliminated.

A TUBULAR SKLIGHT

Fills Your Home with Healthy Sunlight

Natural Light Tubular Skylights operate completely on the sun’s solar energy. No wiring or switches – just free light with all the positive benefits of natural lighting.

The sunlight captured by the dome, travels through an extremely reflective, mirror-like tube. It bounces several times through the pipe before it enters your home. Our specially designed Miro-Silver® light pipe is able to harness the sunlight even when the sun’s position is low in early morning and late afternoon. Even on cloudy days, the tubular skylight works – though the intensity of the light will be slightly diminished. Additionally, our tubular skylights filter out the harmful UV rays that endanger our health, and fade clothing, furniture and carpeting.

TUBULAR SKYLIGHTS PROVIDE

All the Benefits of Sunlight without the Heat

Natural Light Tubular Skylights operate with virtually no heat gain unlike traditional skylights. Sunlight travels through the light pipe and passes through our uniquely designed diffuser that blocks UV rays while also helping improve the U-factor and Solar Heat Gain Coefficient.

The attractive ceiling light fixture is designed to evenly spread the captured sunlight into your home. Our arced prismatic diffuser (standard) bounces the light in all directions eliminating the “hot spot” effect of traditional skylights. Varying on the models size, our tubular skylights can illuminate the equivalent of up to 300 – 1,450 watts of light – all for free!
