Transform dark, uninviting spaces into vibrant, naturally lit rooms with Solatube skylights, the world's most advanced tubular skylights designed for maximum light output and minimal heat transfer. Our Solatube Tubular Daylighting System collection delivers brilliant natural sunlight to bathrooms, hallways, kitchens, family rooms, and closets—spaces where traditional skylights simply can't reach.
Each tubular skylight in our Solatube DS collection features patented Raybender® 3000 Technology and LightTracker™ Reflector that capture low-angle morning and evening sunlight for consistent illumination throughout the day. The innovative dome design works with Spectralight® Infinity Tubing—the world's most reflective material at 99.7% reflectivity—to transport pure, natural daylight through your attic and into interior rooms without electricity or ongoing operational costs.
Our collection includes the 160 DS tubular skylight (10-inch diameter) perfect for smaller spaces up to 200 square feet, and the 290 DS model (14-inch diameter) designed for larger areas up to 300 square feet. Both solar tube skylight systems install in just 2 hours with no major structural modifications required, making them ideal daylighting solutions for homes across Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Texas, Colorado, Oklahoma, Kansas, Utah, and Florida.
Unlike traditional skylight tubes, our Solatube skylights are engineered to eliminate heat gain and loss through advanced sealed-system technology. These natural sunlight tubes reduce daytime electricity usage and may qualify for federal tax credits, making them both eco-friendly and cost-effective solar tube skylights. The innovative design features leak-proof flashing compatible with any roof type—from shingle to tile—ensuring long-lasting, weatherproof performance.
Choose from round or square diffuser fixtures in Classic or Architect Series styles to match your home's aesthetic. Add optional features including Daylight Dimmer Systems, integrated solar-powered NightLights, electric light integration, and ventilation add-ons for complete environmental control. Each tube skylight delivers gorgeous, evenly diffused natural light that enhances mood, reduces eye strain, boosts productivity, and increases home value.
When comparing solar tube cost to traditional skylights, Solatube's tubular skylights offer superior value through quick installation, minimal maintenance, zero electricity consumption, and versatile placement options that illuminate spaces previously dependent on artificial lighting. Backed by over 4 million installations worldwide, our Solatube Tubular Daylighting System represents the premium choice in natural light tubular skylight technology.
Upgrade your home with the Solatube 290DS tubular skylight—experience natural daylight, exceptional efficiency, and lasting comfort.
Found in the ACCESSORY TAB, there are 9 accessories that can be purchased to upgrade to any existing Solatube Skylight Kit.
No pitch metal flashing is used on roofs with little to no pitch. Flat roofs and roofs with pitches between 0:12 and 3:12 The tubes attached to the top dome (known as Angle Adapter Tubes) on your roof and the light diffuser in your ceiling are 12.5" in length. They're called angel adapter tubes because they can angle up to 45 degrees after they have penetrated the plane. So the start of your sun tunnel can be pointed toward the other penetration, which may not be located directly above or below its corresponding penetration.
The total length of the two tubes and each angle adapter tube depends on the thickness of the roof deck and the ceiling. On average, these two angel adapter tubes provide for about 20" of tubing to connect to one another. If your roof deck penetration is greater than 20" from your ceiling penetration, we recommend that you purchase either a 20" extension tubes, or a 24" 0-90° to elbow (for navigating around rafters and/or other obstacles) to connect the two tubes together.
