At the heart and soul of every Solatube product you'll discover an array of innovative technologies that defy conventional thinking. Technology in the dome nearly doubles the Effective Daylight Capture Surface (EDCS) compared to ordinary clear domes used by other tubular skylights.
"I was extremely happy with the customer service - many thanks to Eddie Jahic who did the installation. The skylight was more expensive than I'd hoped to pay, but its light output and the difference that it makes in the room is well worth the cost. We're very happy with it." - Meagan, Sherwood.
"The new skylight has made such a difference to our kitchen area and the installation was smooth and easy process." - Andrea, Toowong.

The Solatube Daylighting System captures sunlight on the rooftop and redirects it down a reflective tube into interior spaces. The tubing will fit between rafters and will install easily with no structural modification. At the ceiling level, an attractive diffuser spreads the light evenly throughout the room.
Solatube products block all UVB and UVC radiation, and greater than 95% of UVA. We block everything below 380 nm, and only transmit 20% @ 400nm. UVA is 315 nm to 400 nm, UVB is 280 nm to 315 nm, UVC is 100 nm to 280 nm.
Recommended Maximum Tube Run: Solatube 160 DS (10 in/250 mm) Brighten Up(R) Series: 6m, Solatube 290 DS (14 in/350 mm) Brighten Up(R) Series: 9m, Solatube 21-C (21 in/530 mm) SolaMaster(R) Series: 12m.
There is no minimum distance. Solatube Daylighting Systems are designed for installation even where there is no access to the roof space or no roof space at all. Our unique tubing allows complete installation from the roof and inside the building.
We offer a softening lens that fits above the primary diffuser to temper the light if necessary. The optional Solatube Daylight Dimmer can also be installed to allow control of the light output. Never use standard window tinting or any flammable material to block the incoming light. This unauthorized modification creates an extreme fire hazard.
All parts are covered by a 10-year warranty. Electrical components are covered by a 5-year warranty. The dome is made from high quality acrylic resin that is specifically formulated for increased impact strength, chemical, weather resistance and high clarity. For High Velocity Wind Zone areas we have available the Shock Inner Dome for the Brighten Up(R) Series. Other assemblies are injection moulded to ensure strength and quality. (Warranty details).
The high quality and durability of the Brighten Up(R)Series dome material, combined with our patented technology, delivers a dome second to none in the industry. This dome is virtually unbreakable - it can withstand nearly any "act of God".
Solatube Daylighting Systems provide good performance even on cloudy days. Our combined LightTracker(tm) Reflector, RayBender(R) 3000 Technology and Spectralight(R) Infinity patented technologies transfer the maximum amount of ambient light down into the room with minimal light loss.
Yes. When the Solatube 160 DS is combined with a Ventilation Add-On Kit and a Light Add-On Kit, it becomes an attractive 3-in-one ceiling fixture.
