Solar Guys does such an excellent job that I don’t think you’ll regret waiting. Also, I prefer solar tubes to electric light during the day, but you may find, after living in your house, that you prefer an electric solution.
We have a window in the kitchen so really don't need to put on lights during the day to see. Having said that, one of the best things we had done was LED lights above and below the cabinets. The glow of those soft white LEDs is so glorious, I do put them on during the day just because they look so pretty and highlight the items I have on top of the cabinets. At night, there is nothing better than those LED lights above and below the cabinets.
