    Love the Dimmer Feature

    We added the Solar Dimmer option for our bedroom Solatube. It's great to have full daylight during the day and be able to shut it down when taking afternoon naps.

    Tax credit was it for me.

    Very happy we found Solatube. Soooo much better than a traditional skylight. The two 10" worked out great and provided plenty of natural light. We also added a dimmer, which enables us to use the tax credit. Win win! Two 10" Solatubes

    These are awesome.

    So, got a spot picked out for a 3rd Solar Tube. Purchased two late Last week with the teardrop cover and the Solar night light. I believe the Solar, remote controlled dimmer is standard . Added Natural sunlight to my otherwise sun deprived living areas...

    The dimmer add-on is worth it!

    The daylight dimmer is a great feature, allowing us to control the amount of light coming in.
