There is no substitute for a window and natural daylight that eases in at dawn, reaches peak light over mid-day, and slowly darkens at dusk.
Solar tubes by the Solatube brand are in fact a "window" that allows natural daylight to come in and lighten and darken as daylight behaves. They also bring in the natural moonlight, which is great in the bathroom at night. No need to have a night-light to avoid stumbling around or fumbling for a switch when getting up during the night to use the bathroom.
Having these in our bathrooms with no windows, there is never a thought about them being windowless. Not so with electric lighting, good as LED's are.
If you see solar tubes in a home and the light looks eerie, those aren't Solatube brand ones. (You get what you pay for.)
