Solatube Lighting
As the world-renowned innovator of daylighting systems, Solatube® provides a compelling alternative to artificial lighting, bringing the benefits of brilliant, natural light to both new and existing buildings while at the same time reducing energy costs and consumption.
Solatube daylighting systems actively capture daylight from the rooftop and pipe it through highly reflective tubing to where it's needed - brilliantly! Solatube uses the most advanced technologies to ensure that the quality, efficiency and performance of the system is unrivalled. Solatube has been producing tubular daylight systems for almost twenty years and has sold over 2 million systems worldwide, making it the largest and most trusted manufacturer of tubular daylight systems in the world.
The cost of your Solatube is determined by the Solatube size (diameter) you require and the length of tubing required - below is some advice on how to determine these measurements. If you have any questions or need further advice on how to choose your Solatube please do not hesitate to contact us.
What size of Solatube do you require?
This will depend mainly on the size of the area you wish to illuminate - below is a guide. For larger areas or long narrow corridors or hallways, Solatube can be used in multiples.
| Solatube Size | Area to be illuminated | Suggested applications |
|---|---|---|
| 160DS (250mm/ 10" dia) |
up to 13m² (150²ft) |
Ideal for bathrooms, hallways, small stairways or landings |
| 290DS (350mm/ 14" dia) |
up to 22m² (250²ft) |
Ideal for living areas or large stairwells or landings |
How much tubing is required?
Each Solatube system is supplied with a top and bottom tube assembly that together give an install distance (roof to ceiling) of up to 400mm (16"). This is generally sufficient for flat roofs, vaulted ceilings, or very shallow pitch roofs. For greater install distances you will need to purchase additional extension tubes to meet your required install distance.
