I'm writing this with a big smile
great satisfaction. I ordered two Solatube for my home. and I must say are knocking it out of the park. as we residents know it's a no brainer here in the sunny valley. If you have some dark spaces, want to save on energy and find a smart solution - this is the way to go.
-
I got Solatube about 2 years ago for a very dark hallway and couldn't be happier. Today I got a Solatube in my dark kitchen and haven't had to turn the light on yet and it's already after 4 pm
-
It’s amazing how much light comes through. We used to keep the hallway lights on during the daytime, but now daylight is illuminating our hallway beautifully
-
Product is incredible keep wanting to turn “off light” in bathroom that was originally very dark. Will purchase other items soon.
-
