New and improved solar skylights are sweeping the globe providing free light inside homes, offices and even industrial areas without the need for electrical lighting. Using the sun’s rays to shine into the structure, a metal tube coated on the inside with a mirror-like finish, it can reflect up to 98 % of the sunlight falling into your roof into the home providing you with free and non-polluting lights.
They normally come with a clear Plexiglas dome cover that reflects the light onto the internal walls at a ninety degree angle that is then reflected through the tube down into the home. Too bright,get some diffusers to get the glare out of the sunlight you get, even getting the whole thing to use the old lighting fixture, without a bulb to evenly spread the light.
